Sophisticated Lady

[KenH]

Written as an instrumental piece in 1932, there's something hauntingly beautiful about Duke Ellington's 'Sophisticated Lady'.
The lyrics were added later by Mitchell Parish, and it's these words that the video is based on. Briefly ..

They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame ...

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?

I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry ...
Sophisticated lady

Played on my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809.
