I saw you last night and got that old feeling 
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling 
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill 
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still 

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning 
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning 
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start 
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart 

There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start 
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart

as rec by Peggy Lee w The Capitol Jazzmen  Jan 7th 1944 Hollywood


Last night I started out happy, last night my heart was so gay,
Last night I found myself dancing in my favourite cabaret.
You were completely forgotten, just an affair of the past,
Then suddenly something happened to me,
And I found my heart beating so fast!

I saw you last night
And got that old feeling,
When you came in sight
I got that old feeling.

The moment that you danced by,
I felt a thrill,
And when you caught my eye,
My heart stood still!

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning,
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning. 
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start,
When that old feeling is still in my heart.
