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 lover's all seem so tame
But 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 would take 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 would take me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
They 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
