Sophisticated Lady

sł. Mitchell Parish
muz. Duke Ellington 

-------------------------------------

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 disilusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have change you somehow I see you now

Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some men in a restaurant
Is it all you really want

No, sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is by, you cry
