Sophisticated Lady / I Didn't Know About You - Mel Torme, Mel Torme, The Great American Songbook Orchestra, The Great American Songbook Orchestra

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 found 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 really what you want?

No, sophisticated lady, I know

You miss the love you lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh, you cry

I Didn’t Know About You

I ran around, with my own little crowd

The usual laughs, not often, but loud

And in the world that I knew

I didn’t know about you

Chasing after the ring, on the merry-go-round

Just having my fun, where it could be found

And yet what else could I do?

I didn’t know about you

Darling, now I know

I had the loneliest yesterday, every day

In your arms, I find

For once in my life, I’m living

Had a good time, every time I went out

Romance was a thing I kidded about

How could I know about love?

I didn’t know about…

When I hear a song in bloom

Like a flower dying from the dew

I think of the loneliness I once knew

'Cause I didn’t know about you

You-ooh-hoo

You
