My Old Flame Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass

The music seemed to be so reminiscent
I knew I 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 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

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
