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      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
