Close To You

Frank Sinatra Close To You Lyrics
1.Close To You

Written:Jerry Livingston/Carl Lampl/Al Hoffman
Arranger:Don Costa

Close to you, I will always stay.
Close to you, though you're far away.

You'll always be near as though you were here by my side.
No matter where - in my dreams I'll find you there
Close to me, sharing you're caress.
Can't you see you're my happiness?

Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.
What can I do?
It only wants to be close to you.

(Musical interlude)

Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.
What can I do?
It only wants to be close to you.


2.P.S I Love You

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Gordon Jenkins
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Hollywood String Quartet

What is there to write? What is there to say?
Same things happen everyday, not a thing to write, not a thing
to say,
So I take my pen in hand and start the same old way.

Dear, I thought I'd drop a line, the weather's cool, the folks
are fine,
I'm in bed each night at nine, P. S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain, but all in all, I can't complain,
Was it just beyond the train, P. S. I love you.
Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able,
They came around to call, and I burned a hole in the dining room
table,
And let me see, I guess that's all.
Nothing else for me to say, and so I'll close but by the way,
Everybody's thinking of you, P. S. I love you.
I do my best to obey all your wishes, I put a sign up 'Think'
But I gotta buy us a new set of dishes, or wash the ones that
are piled in the sink.
Nothing else to tell you dear, except each day seems like a
year,
Every night I'm dreaming of you, P. S. I love you.


3.Love Locked Out


4.Everything Happens To Me

Lyrics:Tom Adair
Music:Tom Adair/Matt Dennis
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

I make a date for golf -
You can bet you life it rains.
I try to give a party -
And the guy upstairs complains.
I guess I'll go thru life;
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains,
Ev'rything happens to me.

I never miss a thing -
I've had measles and the mumps.
And ev'ry time I play my ace -
My partner always trumps.
I guess I'm just a fool;
Who never looks before he jumps,
Ev'rything happens to me.

At first my heart tho't;
You could break this jinx for me.
That love would turn the trick;
To end my despair.
But now, I just can't fool;
This head that thinks for me.
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.

I've telegraphed and called;
I sent 'Air Mail Special', too;
You answer was goodbye -
And there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once;
And then it had to be with you,
Ev'rything happens to me.


5.It's Easy To Remember


6.Don't Like Goodbyes

Written:Harold Arlen/Truman Capote
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Don't like good-byes, tears or sighs.
I'm not too good at leavin' time.
I got no taste for grievin' time. No, no - not me.

You've been my near ones, always my dear ones.
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a different kind, but it came to be.

Well, if you think I'm tellin' you lies,
Go try your luck and look into her eyes.
But remember, you must remember she's mine,
And my world over head has a clear new shine.

Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you.
It's travelin' time and I must move on.
Found the girl to lean upon.
And If I could arrange it,
Oh would I care to change it? Not me!

(Musical interlude)

Don't wanna leave you, sorry to grieve you.
It's travelin' time and I must move on.
Found the gal to lean upon.
And If I could arrange it,
Oh would I care to change it? Not me!

11.I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night(From The Film:Higher And Higher)


Lyrics:Harold Adamson
Music:Jimmy Mchugh
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

I couldn't sleep a wink last night
Because we had that silly fight
I thought my heart would break the whole night through
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry, too

I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night


I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
