Sophisticated Lady - Morton Gould

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 lost long ago,

And when nobody is nigh you cry.

Is that all you really want?

No, Sophisticated Lady, I know,

You miss the heart you lost long ago,

And when nobody is nigh you cry.
