(D. Ellington, I. Mills, M. Parrish)
|
They say into your early life romance came
|
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
|
A flame that flickered one day
|
And died away
|
|
Then with disillusion deep in your eyes
|
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
|
The years have changed you somehow
|
I see you now
|
|
Smoking, drinking
|
Never thinking of tomorrow
|
Nonchalant
|
Diamonds shining
|
Dancing
|
Dining
|
With some man in a restaurant
|
Is that all you really want
|
|
No
|
Sophisticated lady I know
|
You miss the love you had long ago
|
And when nobody is nigh
|
You cry
|
|
No
|
Sophisticated lady I know
|
You miss the love you had long ago
|
And when nobody is nigh
|
You cry
|
You cry
|
You cry
|
