Transcribed from vocal by Adelaide Hall with Fats
Waller, recorded July 28, 1938;
From Fats
Waller, 1938, Chronological Classics 913.
Oh, I saw you last night and got
that old feeling,
When you came in sight, I got that
old feeling,
Why, the moment that you passed
by,
I got a thrill,
And when you caught my eye,
My heart stood still.
And once again, I seem to get 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,
For that old feeling is still in
my heart.
Yes, I saw you last night, Fats,
Yeah!
And got that old feeling,
Oh, you did, heh heh!
When you came in sight, I got that
old feeling,
Ah, heh,
From the moment that you passed
by
I didn't pass, I stopped!
I got a thrill,
You did! Hey, hey!
And when you caught my eye,
My little heart stood still.
And once again, I seem to get that
old yearning,
Then I knew that 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.
