That Old Feeling

Written by Sammy Fain and Lew Brown in 1937 for the film Vogues of 1938, it became a standard sung by many jazz and pop singers.

The words

Seeing a former love again, a man finds the old attraction comes straight back.

The singer runs into someone he once loved and realises his feelings never went away, however much time has passed. The song is bright and swinging rather than mournful, treating the rekindled spark as both a surprise and a small helplessness. Dylan's version moves at an easy mid-tempo, with his band giving it a loose, small-combo bounce among the slower ballads around it.
