From the recording 52nd Street
Victor takes us back to his jazz club roots with this Duke Ellington classic featuring Grammy-nominated jazz pianist, Mark Levine; Chris Camozzi Producer/Guitar on drums; Nelson Braxton Engineer/Bass; and strings by Scott Fuller.
Lyrics
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.
