My old flame

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 new lovers all seems so tame
For I haven't met a gal
So magnificent or elegant
As my old flame

I've met so many women
with fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who sent 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
