My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But it's funny, now and then
Now 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
Bridge
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways
A fascinatin' 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
