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 cruisin' Monaco

{But sittin' here}

Parked in your driveway
{You're cuddled up}
Right close beside me

{I gotta say}
That this old world
Just ain't thrillin' enough

It could never hold
A candle to love


Way back in grade school
I thought Jenny was so cool
We passed 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}
Jenny 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


{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


No it could never hold
A candle to love

It could never hold
A candle to love
