My Old Flame - Tony Bennett

I knew I heard it somewhere before

I wracked my recollections as I listened

When suddenly I remembered once more

My old flame

I can’t even think of her name

But it’s funny now and then

How my thoughts go flashing back again

To my old flame

My old flame

My old flame

My new lovers all seem so tame

For I haven’t met a gal

So magnificent, my only pal

As my old flame

I’ve met so many who

Have 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 her name

But I’ll never be the same

Until I discover what became

Of my old flame
