: That old black magic has me in it's spell.- : That old black Magic that you weave so well. : Those icy fingers up and down my spine. : The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine. : The same old tingle that I feel inside : and then the elevator starts its ride : and down and down I go : round and round I go : like a leaf : that's caught in a tide : I should stay away but what can I do : I hear your name : and I'm a flame : A flame with such burning desire

: the only kiss can put out your fire : for you're the lover I have waited for : the mate that fate had me created for : and every time your lips meet mine : darling down and down I go : round and round I go : in a spin : loving the spin I'm in : Under that old black magic called love!

believe it's: aflame with such a burning desire that only your lips can put out the fire

THE LAST LINE COULD BE CHANGED TO REFLECT THE PAST FEELINGS THAT EITHER ONE HAD I.E. That I was a flame: of such a burning desire:

That only your lips could put out my fire.

BUT THEN AGAIN THAT'S JUST A COMMENT.

THANKS......................

: Who was the male singer that first made Mercer's "That Old Black Magic" famous?

It may be arguable just who made the song "famous" but our records show that Johnny Johnston introduced it in the movie "Star Spangled Rhythm" in 1942. Billy Daniels later made a hit record of it and of course Sinatra recorded it on several occasions.

Yeah, and Glenn Miller's new lead singer Skip Nelson made it a pop song in broadcast and juke box!
