That Old Feeling - Original - Count Basie & His Orchestra

Last night I started out happy

Last night my heart was so gay

Last night I found myself dancing

In my favorite cabaret

You were completely forgotten

Just an affair of the past

Then suddenly something happened to me

And I found my heart beating, oh, so fast

I saw you last night and got that old feeling

When you came in sight, I got that old feeling

The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill

And when you caught my eye my heart stood still

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning

And I knew the spark of love was still burning

There’ll be no new romance for me, it’s foolish to start

For that old feeling is still in my heart

I saw you last night and got that old feeling

When you came in sight I got that old feeling

The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill

And when you caught my eye my heart stood still

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning

And I knew the spark of love was still burning

There’ll be no new romance for me, it’s foolish to start

For that old feeling is still in my heart
