my old flame

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 who had fascinating ways

a fascinating gaze in their eyes

some who took 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 who had fascinating ways

a fascinating gaze in their eyes

some who took 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
