"That Old Feeling" is a popular song written by Sammy Fain, with lyrics by Lew Brown. It was published in 1937.
The song first appeared in the movie Vogues of 1938, actually released in 1937. It was immediately a hit in a version recorded by Shep Fields and His Rippling Rhythm Orchestra, considered to have spent fourteen weeks on the charts in 1937, four at #1. (The charts did not actually exist in those days, but reconstructions of what they would have been give those statistics). A version was also recorded by Jan Garber, which charted at #10).
In 1952, it was included in the Susan Hayward movie, With a Song in My Heart where Jane Froman sang it in a dubbing for Hayward. Patti Page, as well as Frankie Laine and Buck Clayton, had hit versions of the song in 1955. Frank Sinatra had a hit with the song in 1960.
In the 1971 novel Summer of '42 by Herman Raucher, the song is prominent in chapter 19. That's when the main character, Hermie, visits Dorothy shortly after she has received the news of her husband's death in World War II. The song clearly was the favorite of Dorothy and her husband, and she dances with Hermie as the phonograph record plays. Unfortunately, the movie version substituted some original music titled "The Summer Knows" for this classic song, which takes much of the period flavor away from the movie moment.
The title of the song was given to a film in 1997, starring Bette Midler and Dennis Farina, where it was performed by Patrick Williams and by Louis Armstrong and Oscar Peterson.

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

Once again, I seemed to have 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 you came by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still

Once again, I seemed to have 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
