Frankly Sentimental (1949)




















Body And Soul lyrics - Frank Sinatra

My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you, dear, only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, body and soul

I spend my days in longin'
And wond'ring why it's me you're wrongin'
I tell you, I mean it
I'm all for you, body and soul

I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending? It looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear

My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you, body and soul

My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I would gladly surrender
Myself to you, body and soul

Laura lyrics - Frank Sinatra

Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall

And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream

She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream

Fools Rush In lyrics - Frank Sinatra

"Romance is a game for fools", I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play

"Romance is a game for fools", I said and grinned
Then you passed by and here am I
Throwing caution through the wind

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love
My heart above my head

Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me
Then I don't care

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know

When we met I felt my life begin
So open up your heart
And let this fool rush in

Spring Is Here lyrics - Frank Sinatra

Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writng verses
Like yours and mine.

All the lads and girls would sing
When we set a little tables
And drank May wine.

Now April May and June
Are sadly out of tune
Life has stuck the pin in the baloon.

Spring is here!
Why doesn't my heart go dancing ?
Spring is here!
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me,
Maybe it's because nobody needs me.

Spring is here!
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear,
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me.
Spring is here I hear

One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) lyrics - Frank Sinatra

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story I think you should know
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road

I got the routine, put another nickel in the machine
I'm feelin' so bad, can't you make the music easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code
Just make it one for my baby and one more for the road

You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things I'd like to say
And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me
Till it's talked away

Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your gettin' anxious to close
And thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear
But this torch that I found it's gotta be drowned or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
The long, it's so long, the long, very long ...

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry lyrics - Frank Sinatra

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom

And when the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone, can't pull myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Friends ask me out, and I tell them I'm busy
Must get a new alibi
I stay at home, and ask myself "Where is she?"
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Hanging on a stream of dreams
Fly, little mem'ries, my little mem'ries
Remind her of our crazy schemes

Yes, somebody said "Just forget about her"
So I gave that treatment a try
And strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by
Oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

When You Awake lyrics - Frank Sinatra

When you awake, the day takes a bow at your door,
When you awake, the sun shines like never before,
Cloud soaked with rain find it hard to explain to the earth below,
They can't let it rain for then it would stain a heavenly show, you make it so,
When you awake, you open the eyes of my heart,
When you awake, my day really gets its great start,
All the winds and the birds join the simple refrain of a rippling stream,
My world becomes a midsummer night's dream, when you awake.

It Never Entered My Mind lyrics - Frank Sinatra

Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind

And once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You had what I lack, myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind

The Voice Of Frank Sinatra (1946)




















You Go To My Head lyrics - Frank Sinatra

You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne

You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought to my plea, cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be?

You go to my head
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes

Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

Someone To Watch Over Me lyrics - Frank Sinatra

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart I'll carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You) lyrics - Frank Sinatra

("The Voice Of Frank Sinatra" Version)

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

The smile of Turner and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you

Why Shouldn't I? lyrics - Frank Sinatra

Why shouldn't I take a chance when romance passes by?
Why shouldn't I know of love?
Why wait around when each age has a sage who has sung
That upon this earth love is all that is really worth thinking of?

It must be fun, lots of fun
To be sure when day is done
That the hour is coming when you'll be kissed
And then you'll be kissed again

All debutantes say it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I?

All debutantes say it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I?

I Don't Know Why (I Just Do) lyrics - Frank Sinatra

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why but I do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why but you do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why but I do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why but I do

Try A Little Tenderness lyrics - Frank Sinatra

In the hustle of the day, were all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, hes a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if hell just realize

She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when shes weary, try a little tenderness

She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While shes without them, try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
But a word thats soft and gentle makes it easier to bear

You wont regret it, women dont forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness

(I Don't Stand) A Ghost Of A Chance With You lyrics - Frank Sinatra

I need your love so badly, I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I'd found you but other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true but what's the good of scheming
I'm dreaming for I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
'Cuz I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

Paradise lyrics - Frank Sinatra

And then she holds my hand
And then I understand
Her eyes afire
With one desire
A heavenly kiss
Could I resist?

And then she dims the light
And then she holds me tight
One kiss, one fond caress
Will lead the way to happiness
She takes me to paradise

One kiss, one fond caress
Will lead the way to happiness
She takes me to paradise
