"Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You" was a country song written by Pebe Sebert and Hugh Moffatt. It provided a top forty U.S. country hit for Joe Sun in 1978, and was later covered by Dolly Parton, who took it to the top of the U.S. country charts in August 1980. In the song, the narrator tells their lover not to feel threatened by past affairs for these "old flames" are in the past. Parton included her version on her 1980 Dolly, Dolly, Dolly album, and it was released as the album's second single, after the success, "Starting Over Again".
