My old flame
(Sam Coslow & Arthur Johnston)
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts to 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.

The music seemed to be so
reminiscent
I knew I heard it somewhere before
I … my recollections as I listened
When suddenly I remembered once more
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
