My Old Flame

My Old Flame - Matt Monro

The music seem to be so reminiscent

I knew

I heard it somewhere before

I racked my recollections as I listened

When suddenly

I remembered once more

My old flame

I can't even think of her 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 gal so magnificent

My only pal 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 her name

But I'll never be the same

Until I discover what became

Of my old flame
