My Old Flame

My Old Flame - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

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 girl

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 her name but I'll never be the same

Until I discover what became of my old flame
