Frank Sinatra Songs...ONLY (Moderators, please monitor. Thanks)

You've gotta accent-tcu-ate the positive, eli-my-nate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between.
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum.
Have faith or pandemonium's li'ble to walk upon the scene.
To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the Ark,
What did theyou do just when everything looked so dark,
Man, they said we better
Accent-tchu-ate the positive, elim-my-nate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between,
Don't mess with Mister In-between.

Cool thread Eros!!! I'm a huge fan of the "Chairman of the Board".


This is not only my favorite song of his, but one of my all time favorite songs period.

The Summer Wind

The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind and the winter winds, they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind

The summer wind
Warm summer wind
Mmm, the summer wind

 

[SPAGo 98]

We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather,
The flies and spiders get along together,
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.

Beyond the suns that guard this roof,
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths,
Beyond your latest ad campaigns,
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps.
He saves what others throw away.
He says that he'll be rich some day.

We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.

We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather,
The flies and spiders get along together,
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.

Witchcraft
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do


Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo


When you arouse the need in my
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to


It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
Cause there's no nicer witch than you

 

[Patrick IL.]

My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
Chorus:

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

Some like the perfume from Spain
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you

( Some like the bop-type refrain )
( I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff )
( It would bore me terrifically too )
( But I get a kick out of you )

( Some they may go for cocaine )
( I'm sure that if, I took even one sniff )
( It would bore me terrifically too )
( But I get a kick out of you )

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you

[EROS]

The likes of you may never be attracted to the likes of me,
But accidents will happen and I'll be around,
And maybe there'll be no one else but me around.
Forevermore may never start, you may ignore my hopeful heart,
And chances are not the one to make you fall,
But accidents will happen after all.
A smile may show it, your eyes may glow
Before you know it, I'm sure I'll know.
So if you fall in just that way, oh wouldn't I be thrilled to hear you say
I had a lovely accident today.
Your eyes may glow, I'm sure I'll know.

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond 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'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you - New York, New York


What can I tell ya!

 

[EROS]

Unaccustomed as I am to getting married,
I am taking this occasion here to say
That me and Adelaide are finally naming the day.
Though she knows deep in her heart
I'm a phoney and I'm a fake,
She wants five children to start,
Five's a difficult point to make, but..
Chorus:
Adelaide, Adelaide, ever-loving Adelaide,
Is taking a chance on me,
Taking a chance I'll be respectable and nice,
Give up cards and dice, and go for shoes and rice,
So gentlemen, deal me out, do not try to feel me out,
I got no more evenings free (you may scratch me)
Since Adelaide, Adelaide, ever loving Adelaide
Is taking a chance (talk about your long shot)
Taking a chance on me.

Song: I've Got You Under My Skin
Artist: Frank Sinatra
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin


I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin


I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear


Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you under my skin


This is a fav in our house...
Just love FRANK!

Holycow

I've always loved this one:

HIGH HOPES

Writer(s): Cahn/Van Heusen


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

I Wish I Were In Love Again

The sleepless nights - the daily fights
The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
The broken dates - the endless waits
The lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again

No more pain - no more strain
Now I'm sane - but I would rather be punch- drunk

The pulled out fur - of cat and cur
The fine mismating - of a him and her
I've learned my lesson - but I wish I were
In love again

The furtive sigh - the blackened eye
The words: I love you - 'til the day I day
The self deception - that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again

When love congeals - it soon reveals
The faint aroma - of performing seals
The double-crossing - of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again

No, no more care - no, no despair
Now I'm all there (now) - but I'd rather be punch-drunk

Believe me sir - I much prefer
The classic battle - of a him and her
I don't like quiet - and I wish I were
In love again - in love again - in love again

 

[EROS]

Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering,
Our love was born with our first embrace,
And each page was torn out of time and space.
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity.
So take my hand with a fervent pray'r
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember.

 

[Michelle]

My dear departed uncle used to sing this to me when I was little, and it holds a special place in my heart.

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you

 

[Poohbear123]

Strangers in the night....exchanging glances, wondering in the night...what were the chances...we'd be sharing love...before the night was thru.....strangers in the night...two lonely people we were strangers in the night...up till that moment when we said our first hello...little did we know..love was just a glance away a warm embracing dance away.......

For my Sweetie!


The Way You Look Tonight


Some day, 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 you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.


KISSES!!

The Lady Is A Tramp
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp


She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp


Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp

What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do, I was so wrong, right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
So what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry,
Baby I'm so, I'm sorry. got to prove that I'm so sorry
I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear, what can I say dear, what can I do
What can I say, what can I do after I say I'm sorry

I dont have lyrics but I feel my post is fitting.

There was a man who lived in a beach house on the boardwalk in Pt. Pleasant NJ who, much to the delight of passers by on the boardwalk, played Frank Sinatra music through his outdoor speakers so everyone who walked by could enjoy it.
I always looked forward to walking by there. In all the years he did this, he never had any complaints from neighbors.
I post this because he passed away this week.RIP and hopefully,
through his family members, the music will live on.

**Oops, I apologize. I didnt see where it said post songs only! Mods, feel free to delete as I tried to delete but cant.

 

[EROS]

Allicat, your post is quite touching. Since apparently the Opening Poster gets to dictate "appropriate" content on his/her threads, your post should..........STAY ........
