Sophisticated Lady
TONY BENNETT · Cheek To Cheek 2014 · Track 08 of 20
Music: Duke Ellington · Lyrics: Irving Mills, Mitchell Parish
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
