My Old Flame

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 men

With fascinating ways,

A fascinating gaze in their eyes.

Some have sent me up to the skies

But, their attempts at love

Are 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.
