My Old Flame 1934

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 12 Sep 2002

The Music seemed to be so reminiscent
I knew I'd heard it somewhere before.
I racked my recollections as I listened,
when suddenly I remembered once more.

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 fascinatin' 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.
