- 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
