Frank Sinatra Album

I hear music when I look at you
A beautiful theme of every dream I ever knew
Down deep in my heart
I hear it play
I feel it start
Then melt away

I hear music when I touch your hand
A beautiful melody from some enchanted land
Down deep in my heart
I hear it say
'Is this the day?'

I alone have heard this lovely strain
I alone have heard this glad refrain
'Must it be forever inside of me?
Why can't I let it go?
Why can't I let you know
Why can't I let you know the song my heart would sing?'
That beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring
The music is sweet
The words are true
The song is you

Why can't I let you know the song my heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring
The music is sweet
The words are true
The song is you

They're writing songs of love - but not for me, a lucky star's above - but not for me
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play - can guarantee
I was a fool to fall - and get this way;
Hi ho alas and also lackaday
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess she's not - she's not for me
Old man sunshine - listen you never tell me dreams come true
Just try it - and all start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare ever tell me she will care
I'm certain - it's the final curtain
I never want to here from any cheerful Polly-Anna's
Who tell you fate supplies a mate - it's all bananas
It all began so well - but what an end, this is the time - a fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot, ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot, no not for me

Writer(s): Gordon/Warren

In a dream the strangest and the oddest things appear
And what insane and silly things we do.
Here is what I see before me, vividly and clear:
As I recall it, you were in it, too.

I had the craziest dream, last night - yes I did
I never dreamed it could be
Yet there you were - in love with me

I found your lips close to mine - so I kissed them
And you didn't mind it at all
When I'm awake, such a break never happens
How long can I guy go on dreaming

If there's a chance that you care
Then, please, say that you do baby
Say it and make my craziest dream come true

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around
And finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true

Could make me be blue
Or even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others I've seen
Might never been mean
Might never be crossed
Or try to be bossed
But they wouldn't do

For nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you

There may be trouble ahead,
But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled,
Before they ask us to pay the bill,
And while we still have the chance,
Let's face the music and dance

Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different tune
And then...

There may be teardrops to shed,
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Face the music and dance

*orchestral interlude*

Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to come up with the bill,
And while we still have got that chance,
Face that music and dance

Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different tune,
And then...

There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance
Dance
Let's face the music,
Look at that music
Why not face the music and dance?

Writer(s): Young


Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams

Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams

Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is up there on a moonbeam
Poor, there ain't nobody poor
As long as love is sure
On the street of dreams

This moment, this minute
And each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by, it will never die

This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
And in my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night

Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel, who's watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again

(Like the lights of home before me)
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again

I love the looks of you, the lure of you,
The sweet of you, and the pure of you,
The eyes, the arms, and the mouth of you,
The east, west, north, and (the / that) south of you.

I'd love to gain complete control of you,
(And) Handle even the heart and soul of you.
Love at least a small percent of me, do,
Because I love all of you.

I'd love to gain complete control of you,
(And) Handle even the heart and soul of you.
Love at least a small percent of me, do,
Because I love all of you.

Whether you are here or yonder, whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander, I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you, even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you, give you the break you need

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know

Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
You need me so
Much more than you'll ever know (ever know)

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it

Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said "Good-bye"
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know

[No lyrics]

You and me, we wanted it all we wanted it all
Passion without pain, sunshine without rainy days
We wanted it always

You and me, we reached for the sky, the limit was high
Never giving in, certain we could win that prize
I should have seen it in your eyes

Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me and, baby, you've got you
Through it all, just one thing died
A little thing called love, something deep inside

You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best
Back when we were dumb, how did we become so smart
And learn to break each other's heart?

Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me, baby, you've got you
Through it all, just one thing died
A little thing called love, something deep inside

You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best
But look what we became, isn't it a cryin' shame
That we almost made it?

But we wanted it all
Baby, you and me
We wanted it all

Mm., mm , mm

Some days, when i'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow, just thinking of you
And the way you look, Tonight

Yes your lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word you tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh, wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never never change
Keep, that breathless charm
Wont you please arrange it
Cause I love you
A just the way you look tonight

(Instramental)

And that laugh, that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, dont you ever change
keep that breathless charm
Wont you please arrange it
cause I love you
A just the way you look tonight
Hmmmm, hmmmm
Just the way you look tonight

Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me, I don't wanna leave her now.
You know I believe in how.....

Somewhere in her smile she knows, that I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me. I don't wanna leave her now.
You know I believe in how.....

You're askin' me will my love grow, I don't know, I don't know?
Just stick around now, it may show. I don't know, I don't know?

Something in the way she knows, and all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me. I don't wanna leave her now.
You know I believe in how.....

You're askin me will my love grow. I don't know, no I don't know?
You stick around now, it may show. I don't know, I don't know?

Something in the way she knows me, and all I have to do is just think
of her. Something in the things she shows me. I don't wanna leave her
now. You know I believe in how.....

Don't want to leave her now.....

Spring was never waiting for us, girl, it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance,
Between the parted pages that were pressed,
A love hot fevered like a striped pair of pants,
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain,
I don't think I could take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!
I still see the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave upon the ground.
Around your knees, and the birds like tender babies in your hands,
And the old men playing checkers by the trees.
There will be another song for me, for I will sing it.
There would be another dream for me, someone will bring it.
Oh, I will drink the wine while it is warm,
And never let you catch me looking at the sun.
But after all the loves of my life, after all the loves, you'll still be the one.
I would take my life into my hands and I will use it,
I will win the worship in their eyes, and I will lose it.
I will have all the things that I desire, and my passions flow like rivers in the sky,
And after the loves of my life, after all the loves of my life,
You'll still gonna be the one.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down,
Someone left the cake out in the rain,
I don't think I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no, oh no!

Start spreadin' the news, i'm leavin' today. I want to be a part of it
New York, New York.

These vagabon shoes, are longing to stray, right through the very
heart of it, New York, New York.

I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep. And find i'm King of the
Hill, Top of the Heap.

These little-town blues, are melting away. I'll make a brand new start
of it in old New York. If I can make it there, i'll make it anywhere.

Its up to you New York, New York.

New York, New York. I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps.
And find i'm A-number-1, top of the list. King of the Hill, A-number-1.

These little town blues, are melting away. I'm gonna make a brand new
start of it, in old New York. And, if I can make it there, i'm gonna make
it anywhere.

It's up to you New York, New York. New York!

Summer me, winter me
And with your kisses
Morning me, evening me
And as the world slips
Far away, star away
Forever me with love

Wonder me, wander me
Then by a fire
Pleasure me, peaceful me
And in the silence
Quietly, whisper me
Forever me with love

Forever me with love
And ev'ry day I'll
Gentle you, tender you
And oh, the way I'll
Velvet you, clover you
I'll wrap you up and
Ribbon you, rainbow you
And shower you with shine!

Suddenly, magically
We found each other
There we were, here we are
I plan to let you
Happy me, summer me
Winter me, always be mine!

[No lyrics]

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on a-turnin'
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning

{Lay your head upon my pillow}
{Hold your warm and tender body close to mine}
Hear the whisper of the raindrops flowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

{Lay your head upon my pillow}
{Hold your warm and tender body close to mine}
Hear the whisper of the raindrops flowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

(For the good times)

{For the good times}

{For the good times}

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go,
You have made my life complete and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled,
For my darling, I love you and I always will.

Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong and we'll never part.
Love me tender, love me sweet, all my dreams fulfilled,
For my darling, I love you and I always will.

Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine,
I'll be yours through all the years till the end of time.
Love me tender, love me sweet, all my dreams fulfilled,
For my darling, I love you and I always will.

One day as I walked with my son hand in hand,
He said, there are things that I don't understand,
How high is the sky? what makes it so blue?
And tell me, dad, what does God look like to you?
I said, He looks like a rainbow, just after the rain,
He's as golden as wheat dancing over the plain.
He looks like the star when the night's crystal clear,
He looks like a baby when mother is near.
His face is the moonlight reflected on snow,
His hair like garden where all flowers grow,
He's heavenly eyes are as true as the sea,
My son, that's what God really looks like.
His heart like a mountain so vast and so strong,
That's why all his children have room to belong.
His smile is the morning we waken to see,
But you, my son, you are what God really looks like to me.

My name is Francis Albert (Francis Albert Sinatra)
And I sing love songs mostly after dark, mostly in salons.
I've had some very good years.
I haven't missed a whole lot in those firecracker years,
And I don't want to miss a thing when the future appears.
I like to sit outside on a summer night with a drink in my hand.
And a little moonlit music on the stereo, and look at the stars.
Then I get an urge to travel to that fabulous sky,
If they can do it in the movies, why can't I?
"Seats are now available on the Satellite Special",
"leaving for Mercury and Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune."
What time is the next miracle, I want to be on board,
Save me a seat by the window where I can see
All those marvelous things to be seen out there.
(The things to be seen out there, all there)
What time does the next miracle leave?
Let's get this show on the road,
And when the Satellite Tours begin,
Count me in, count me in , count me in
Count me in, count me in , count me in
Count me in, count me in , count me in
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."

When I arrive at Venus, it will surely be spring,
And the girl I have waited for, will be waiting for me,
And she'll dance with me all the afternoon,
Comfort me when the darkness falls,
And she'll still be there in the morning when I need her the most.
Maybe when I get to Venus, I will never be lonely again.
"The Satellite Special leaving for Jupiter, Saturn,"
"Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn," (Jupiter, Saturn)
Jupiter makes with the rain, Saturn makes with the crop,
A nicer trade was never made, and hopefully never stops.
If Saturn's fields are dry, Jupiter won't stay fat,
So Jupiter leaves its fortunes on and
"Next stop, Pluto where the devils dwell, hahahahahahaha"
Pluto is a rotten place an evil place they got in space,
It's Hades (it's Hades) filled with rats for self-defense,
A sordid flock of ? Nomen.
And ladies (ladies? Ladies, ladies, ladies)
It's pure hell when your journey ends there,
But you can bet your ass I'll lead a lot of friends there,
(We're getting R A )
"Next stop, Mercury, Mercury, Neptune"
Mercury will lead us out to Neptune and her deep blue sea.

(And then) And then to Uranus (Uranus)
Uranus is heaven,
(Heaven, heaven, oh you know indeed, is it really heaven?)
How will I know? I will know, if they need me at the station,
With some cheese and some Mayo pizza,
Well done (well done), and a little red wine.
"The Satellite Special now leaving non-stop for earth, non-stop for earth"
(Move along, move along, it's time we were getting on board.)
Please let me off at the desert, where I can see
All those wonderful things to be seen down there.
(to be seen down there, all there)
(coda)

Where I live in the desert, it's so peaceful and warm.
And the cares of the world drift by, like clouds reflected in a quiet pool
But there always comes a time, when a man has to think of the future,
(War, war, war!) Has to think of his children, (war, war, war!)
And the world they will live in (war, war, war, war!),
I'm not sure if I can do anything to help them, but I can try, I can try.
Time to build us a fire, seven hundred feet high,
We can fashion a fire (fire) that will reach the sky (reach the sky)
We can feed the flames with the unkind deeds we've done (with the fire),
'Cause we've got to get ready, for World War None.
(What we want is to burn our sins in a sort of furnace,)
(We'll be stoking the fire with the lies we know)
All our false suspicions we can burn them one by one
That will help us get ready for World War None.
(A little love is more effective than a rifle,)
(A little faith will take you farther than it can)
(The rule we follow is the one forever spoken)
(They haven't got the truth on their lips).
Keep on feeding the fire, till the fire is hot,
With those un-neighborly feelings we deny we've got.
Keep on trying for peace, until that peace is won.
Then you're practically ready for World War None.
(A whispered word or touch is louder than a bugle)
(A silent prayer is so much stronger than a sword,)
(And the bombs that can't replace the stained glass window)
For which we should thank the good Lord, thank the good Lord)
(Thank you, thank you, thank you)
If we cherish our fire (if we cherish our fire)
It could possibly be (it could possibly be),
Bright enough to be seen, (bright enough to be seen)
Far across the sea (far across the sea),
When those other countries (when those other countries)
what we have done (what we've done)
Maybe they'll help us get ready (get ready, get ready)

(World War None!)

[Alto solo by Beverly Jenkins]
(chorus)
[Gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told,]
[I'm gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told.]
[I'm gonna say please, missus gypsy, tell me what the future will hold.]
(Hurry your deck of cards and your crystal ball)
(For there you will see that you will pray for light)
(The future will almost certainly be whatever you want it to be,)
(But with rockets and picks, from music and jetsam)
(There's no butt that you can push, and push,)
(Let your imagination burst into flame)
(And it will let you do whatever you damn well to do, do,do).

Given a choice I would choose to have a magic wand that I could use,
To draw a melody, from that enchanted blade of grass
And cheese and wood and wind and sea.
I would stand there, dig a grave, and quietly say,
Ladies and Gentlemen, play for me, play for me.
(and the orchestra plays a beautiful melody)

Frank with (chorus)

(If the future proves sweet, would it tell us to leap before we move,)
(Would it care for us to live with danger or face the final foe,)
(If tomorrow brings us love, you can bet,)
(We will need all the help we can get.)
(And to tell me how this moves everyone of us to you.)
(How you're glad its winter, how you're glad to say it's true.)

When I see a young couple walking slowly through the trees,
I don't have to follow them to know how far they'll go,
I've been there.
If the boy is sulking and the girl is close to tears,
I know it doesn't matter, who is right or who started the fight,
I've been there.
I've been there when the music played old songs,
Young songs, good songs, bad songs, sweet songs, sad songs.
I've been there when a pretty smile made it difficult to breathe,
But so easy to fly and a pleasure to cry,
So to all of you in the throes of early love,
Where delightful confusion reigns supreme,
Let me try to help you rearrange your dream,
Let yourself live, let yourself love, let yourself go.
I've been there, and I know.

[Alto solo by Beverly Jenkins] (chorus)

(Your imagination has an awful lot to give)
(If our right to live were yours hauntingly)


(full musical interlude with chorus)

(brief transition)
If a man has a story that he badly needs to tell,
A man's imagination makes a lovely wishing well,
(make a wish, make a wish)
I wish I could write a song everyone alive could understand,
(A song that a Frenchman could sing to a Spaniard)
(A song that a German could sing to a Russian)
(A song that if ever you'd sing, you are king)
(Wouldn't it be wonderful, won't it be grand)
To write a song that the whole wide world could understand.
(lala , lalala, lala, lala, lalala, lala)
(lalalala, lalalala, lala, lalala, lalala)
lalala, lalalala, lala, lalala, lalalala, lala)
lalala, lalalala, lala, lalala. lalala)
(music and repeat)
[Gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told,]
[I'm gonna say, please missus gypsy, tell me what the future will hold]
(Tell us what the future will hold.)

Frank with (chorus)

I reached the age of forty somewhat sooner than expected,
Living at a fairly hectic pace.
When I count the years that I have happily collected,
The future shows its apprehensive face.
(But now, Francis, what the hell do you do now, Francis?)
Quite a different song must be sung
When the singer is no longer young.
Before the music ends, before it fades away,
There are several very necessary things I must do.
Friends, I must be again certain places where I must be again.
Before the music ends, I must go to Hoboken one more time.

I wanna run down that street where that thin Italian kid ran.
Then slow down at the school,
Where those nice old ladies tried to teach me,
Unaware that I knew much more than they did.
And stop at the poolroom for a beer,
And sadly say to myself, I don't know anybody here.
(Francis, don't go home again.)
One thing I'd like to do, before the music ends,
Is to thank some wonderful life-long friends,
I've never met but have known so well.
(background: Liszt's Liebensraum)
From one Frank to another, thank you for your dream,
Your dream is now my own.
And thank you Ludwig Van (background: a snatch of the Fifth Symphony)
For the flight of fancy you sent me on.
Thank Mrs. Verdi, for Joe and a special thanks to Jackelo (Jackelo, Jackelo).
(background: Verdi's opera)
All of you took turns in delivering sunrise a little sooner to my window.

Before the music ends, with company by Dino and Clark,
I'd like to make one more charge at Baker's.
You won't find me at that idiot wheel that spins, and spins and spins.
I won't play the slot machine, the management always wins.
Not for me the game where the jack is called black,
And meet them dikes that stand back.
(And you're actually down the line, and a hundred on the drum)
(Is enough to make you shy, load the truck with speaker's drum)
You won't hear me talk about saving new shoes, baby's got 57 pairs,
All I ask is Time, just plain and simple Time
(just a little tiny boo, just a little business free)
(time, time, time, time, time. time, time, time, time, time) Time!

In years to come, I may forget if I lost or if I won,
But I'll always remember how much fun it was.
(just concentrate on five and four, just stick to six and three).

And when the music ends, I'd like it to end this way,
I'll ask Chester to write me one more song.
I'll get Lesty to make me one more chart,
And I'll make one more record with the best musicians in the world.
(Fanfare)
And when that cat with the sight comes tugging at my sleeve,
I'll be singing as I leave (Sandra, Sandra, Sandra).
