Charlie Parker - Bird of Paradise

My old flameI can't even think of his name but it's funny now and thenHow my thoughts go flashing back again to my old flameMy old flameMy new lovers all seem so tameFor I haven't met a gent so magnificent or elegant as my old flameI've met so many who had fascinating waysA fascinating gaze in their eyesSome who took me up to the skiesBut their attempts at love were only imitations of my old flameI can't even think of his name but I'll never be the sameUntil I discover what became of my old flameI've met so many who had fascinating wayA fascinating gaze in their eyesSome who took me up to the skiesBut their attempts at love were only imitations of my old flameI can't even think of his name but I'll never be the sameUntil I discover what became of my old flame
