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
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
