Andrew Gold - Never Hold a Candle to Love lyrics

When I was a young thing I swore a Mustang Would be my ticket to the great unknown Yeah, I could see me hanging out with royalty La dulce vida down in Monaco (But sittin' here) Parked in your driveway (You're cuddled up) Right here beside me (I gotta say) That this old world just ain't thrillin' enough It could never hold a candle to love Oh yeah Way back in grade school I thought Suzy was so cool We pa**ed each other notes in study hall She was my first kiss, my heart said this must be it At 13 you think you know it all (It's nothin' but) Infatuation (It didn't last) 'Till graduation (I gotta say) Suzy Parker and a school boy crush Could never hold a candle to love Love, true love knew all along It would find us It's such a sweet ride Just close your eyes and hold on tight Oooh! Oh yeah! (But sittin' here) With you tonight (Just holdin' hands) Under the moonlight (One kiss and I) I can't recall what I was thinkin' of But it could never hold a candle to love Yeah, it could never hold a candle to love It could never hold a candle to love Yeaheaheah
