My old flame


I can't even think of his name


But it's funny now and then


How my thoughts go flashing back again


To my old flame

My old flame


My new lovers all seem so tame


For I haven't met a gent


So magnificent or elegant


As my old flame

I've met so many men


With fascinating ways


A fascinating gaze in their eyes


Some who sent me up to the skies


But their attempts at love


Were only imitations of

My old flame


I can't even think of his name


But I'll never be the same


Until I discover what became


Of my old flame

I've met so many men


With fascinating ways


A fascinating gaze in their eyes


Some who sent me up to the skies


But their attempts at love


Were only imitations of

My old flame


I can't even think of his name


But I'll never be the same


Until I discover what became


Of my old flame
