That Old Feeling
Alice Faye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last night my heart was so gay
Last night I found myself dancing
In my favorite cabaret
You were completely forgotten
Just an affair of the past
Then suddenly something happened to me
And I found my heart beating, oh, 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
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling, is still in my heart
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
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling, is still in my heart
Alice Faye's "That Old Feeling" is a timeless classic about the feeling of nostalgia that often arises after encountering past lovers. The song explores the idea of how someone can move on from a past relationship only to have those buried emotions resurface unexpectedly. The lyrics convey the mixed emotions of excitement and anxiety that accompany the realization that the spark of love is still within the heart.
The opening lines of the song depict the singer as happy and carefree, with no thoughts about past lovers. However, as soon as she sees her former flame, old feelings come rushing back, causing her heart to beat faster and her mind to yearn for the past. Even though the singer acknowledges the foolishness of starting a new romance with a past lover, she cannot help but feel the same emotions she once did.
Overall, "That Old Feeling" is a beautiful portrayal of how the heart longs for someone from the past. It conveys the bittersweet experience of nostalgia while also acknowledging that the past should be left behind as the present takes center stage.
