Frank Sinatra Album

Writer(s): desylva/brown/henderson

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
That is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues

And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As part of the blues
From a whippoorwill
Out on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
'til it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the southland gave birth to the blues!

(I'll never smile again until I smile at you)
(I'll never laugh again) What good would it do?

For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through

(I'll never love again, I'm so in love with you)
(I'll never thrill again to somebody new)

Within my heart
I know I will never start
(To smile again)
Until I smile at you

Within my heart
I know I will never start
(To smile again)
Until I smile at you

(Until I smile at you)

I took each word she said as gospel truth the way a silly little child would.
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth, I was no babe in the wild, wild wood.
She didn't mean it, I should have seen it, but now it's too late.

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams, now it seems, this is how the story ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong, not for long, I can see the way this ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
Why should I care though she gave me the air,
Why should I cry, heave a sigh, and wonder why, and wonder why?
I thought I found the gal I could trust, watta bust, this is how the story ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be just friends?"

[No lyrics]

Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Strollin' with the one girl
Sighin' sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it won't you tell me how?

Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky

And strollin' with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh


Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it won't you tell me how?

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money,
Maybe we're ragged and funny,
But we'll travel along, singin' a song, side by side.

Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we're together, it really doesn't matter at all.

When they've all had their quarrels and parted,
We'd be the same as we started,
Just trav'lin' along, singin' a song, side by side.

Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we're together, it really doesn't matter at all.

When they've all had their quarrels and parted,
We'd be the same as we started,
Just trav'lin' along, singin' a song, side by side.

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no, because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gotta be kissed

So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store?
>From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore
But how long can anyone try?

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give

Fight fight fight it with all of your might
Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give

Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give

If I loved you, time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way
`round in circles I'd go
Longin' to tell you but, afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by

Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you, if I loved you

Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you, if I loved you

She: We strolled the lane together, last out the rain together
Sang love's refrain together, and we both pretend it would never end,
One day we cry together, that's why we sigh together,
You're gone from me but in my memory, we'll always be together.
He: We strolled the lane together, baby, we last out that rain together,
Sang love's refrain together, we knew long ago that our love would grow,
She: Through sun and storm together,
He: Our hearts as one together,
You're gone from me, but in my memory,
Both: We'll always be together.

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant

But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin’ low
’stead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back’s to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he’d punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin’ that dam

’cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin’ bad
’stead of feelin’ sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
They’ll be bursted soon
They’re just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

[No lyrics]

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.

Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's ? ? ? ? ?

Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to l.a.
We're closer than bobby is to j.f.k.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!

Happy new year!

Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at jilly's right after toot's shore
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!

Say frank?
What is it, sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! from the ending!
Wonderful!

And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at danny's, the little club too
But wind up at jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(wow!)
For my shadow and me!

Frank?
Oh, forget it sam.

For it’s a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
And the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

And the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

You're the top! You're the coliseum! You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum!
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss,
You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet, you're Mickey Mouse.
You're the Nile, you're the Tower of Pisa, you're the smile on the Mona Lisa;
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if baby, I'm the bottom, you're the top!

Your eyes are blue - your kisses too
I never knew - what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me

You are telling - everyone I know
I'm on your mind - each place you go
They can't believe that you're in love with me

I have always placed you - far (way up there) above me
I just can't (Could never) imagine - that you love me

(And) After all is said and done - to think that I'm the lucky (only) one
Cannot (I can't) believe that you're in love (can't believe that you're in love.
..) with me

[No lyrics]

You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young

(Frank Sinatra)
Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

(Elvis Prelsey)
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft.

(Frank Sinatra)
Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.

(Elvis Presley)
It's such an ancient pitch,
But one I wouldn't switch,

'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

(Frank Sinatra)
I love you,
and I always will.

(Elvis and Frank)
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year, but ever and a day

The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long long way

In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start

When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you

Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
