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 away.

You were sweet and lovely, simple and shy

but then as time went hurrying by

the years have changed you somehow, I see you now.



Laughing, daring, never caring that you hurt me like you do.

Bright eyes shining, never pining for a love that is fond and true

tho' such love was meant for you.



Poor sophisticated lady, I know

you miss the love you lost long ago

and when nobody is nigh you cry.



- Irving Mills & Mitchell Parish
