My Old Flame

My Old Flame - Dinah Washington

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

But I have 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

Know 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
