Lyrics
Last night I started out happy
Last night, I began the evening feeling content and joyful.
Last night my heart was so gay
Last night, my heart was carefree and happy.
Last night I found myself dancing
Last night, I discovered myself dancing in my favorite cabaret.
In my favorite cabaret
I was enjoying myself in a place I like.
You were completely forgotten
You, the subject of past experiences, were completely out of my thoughts.
Just an affair of the past
You were just a memory of a previous relationship.
Then suddenly something happened to me
Unexpectedly, something significant occurred to me.
And I found my heart beating, oh, so fast
My heart started beating rapidly in response to this occurrence.
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
I saw you last night, and I experienced a familiar sensation.
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
Upon seeing you, I rekindled that old emotion.
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
When you danced by, I felt a thrilling sensation.
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still
Your gaze caused my heart to pause momentarily.
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Once again, I felt the yearning associated with the past.
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
I sensed that the flame of love from before was still alive.
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
No new romantic relationships seem sensible to pursue for me.
For that old feeling, is still in my heart
The old familiar feeling persists in my heart.
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
I saw you again last night, and the same feeling returned.
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The sight of you reignited that nostalgic emotion.
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
Your dance and presence brought back a thrilling sensation.
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still
Your eye contact made my heart pause once more.
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Again, I felt the yearning for the past.
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
I was certain that the spark of love from before still lingers.
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
Pursuing a new romance seems unwise for me.
For that old feeling, is still in my heart
The enduring presence of that old feeling in my heart.
