My Old Flame

My Old Flame - Ella Fitzgerald

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
