Smyrna (Ancient Greek: Σμύρνη or Σμύρνα) was an Ancient Greek city located at a central and strategic point on the Aegean coast of Anatolia. This place is known today as İzmir, Turkey. Due to its advantageous port conditions, its ease of defence and its good inland connections, Smyrna rose to prominence. Two sites of the ancient city are today within the boundaries of Izmir. The first site, probably founded by indigenous peoples, rose to prominence during the Archaic Period as one of the principal ancient Greek settlements in western Anatolia. The second, whose foundation is associated with Alexander the Great, reached metropolitan proportions during the period of the Roman Empire. Most of the present-day remains of the ancient city date from the Roman era, the majority from after a 2nd-century AD earthquake.
In practical terms, a distinction is often made between these. Old Smyrna was the initial settlement founded around the 11th century BC, first as an Aeolian settlement, and later taken over and developed during the Archaic Period by the Ionians. Smyrna proper was the new city which residents moved to as of the 4th century BC and whose foundation was inspired by Alexander the Great.

Somebody said
Baby, whatcha doing
I been wondering where you been
Now and then
I think about you and me
No use fighting bout
Things we can't recall
It don't matter now at all
Just come on home
Baby, we'll laugh and sing
We'll make love
We'll let the telephone ring
Ring, ring, doorbell ring
Baby, come on in
Got James Taylor on the stereo
I'm glad you've come around
I've been feeling down
Just talking to Tony and Mario
You know they make
Good conversation
Still it ain't no consolation
Cause I got love
Baby, I'll give you some
And if somebody comes
We'll let the doorbell ring
Said ring, ring, golden ring
Around the sun
Around your pretty finger
Ring, ring, voices ring
With a happy tune
Anybody can be a singer
The sun come up across the city
I swear you never looked
So doggone pretty
Hand in hand
We'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man
Let the wedding bells ring
Oh, oh, hand in hand
We'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man
Let the wedding bells ring
