Lyrics My Old Flame - Billie Holiday, Friends, Charlie Parker

My Old Flame

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 innocent or elegant
As my old flame
I’ve met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Som 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 his name
But I’ll never be the same
Untill I discover what became
Of my old flame
I’ve met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Som 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 his name
But I’ll never be the same
Untill I discover what became
Of my old flame
