Sophisticated Lady

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 and died And 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 You're so 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 so long ago And when nobody is nigh I see you cry --- Sophisticated Lady - Carol Sloane
