Everything Happens To Me

Frank Sinatra Everything Happens To Me Lyrics
1.The Gal That Got Away/It Never Entered My Mind

a.The Gal That Got Away
Lyrics:Ira Gershwin/Harold Arlen
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're a lot older
And all because of the gal that got away

No more her eager call
The writing is on the wall
All those dreams you dreamed
They have all gone astray

The gal who won you
She's run off and undone you
That great beginning
Has seen its final inning
I don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game

No more - no more that all time thrill
Because you have been put though the mill
And never a new love
Will ever be the same

Good riddance good-bye
Every trick of hers you are on to
But fools will be fools
And where's she gone? - Where has she gone?

The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and it's tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow maybe she'll turn up
There ain't no let up
Live long night, night and day

Ever since, (since) this world began
There ain't nothin' sadder than
A long lost loser
Lookin' for his gal who got away

Please come back
Won't you come back

b.It Never Entered My Mind
Lyrics:Lorenz Hart Music:Richard Rodgers Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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


2.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.


3.Once Upon A Time

Lyrics:Lee Adams
Music:Charles Strouse
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago

Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again

Once upon a time
Never comes again


4.Summer Wind

Written:Johnny Mercer/Henry Mayer
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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


5.Once I Loved(O Amor En Paz)

Written:Antonio Carlos Jobim/Ray Gilbert/Vinicius Demoraes
Arranger:Claus Ogerman

Once, once I Loved
And I gave so much love to this world you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye

And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away


6.If I Had You

Written:Reg Connelly/Jimmy Campbell/Ted Shapiro
Arranger:Robert Farnon

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad - all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you

I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals - I'd never mind
I could start my life anew
If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side

I could be a king (dear) on crown
Humble or poor - rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
(- Baby If I had you)


7.What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?

Lyrics:Alan Bergman/Marilyn Bergman
Music:Michel Legrand
Arranger:Don Costa

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me

All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two

Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you


8.The Second Time Around

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Love is lovelier, the second time around
Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the
young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say, what brought us to this miracle we've found

There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around


9.I Hadn't Anyone Till You

Lyrics:Ray Noble
Music:Ray Noble
Arranger:Don Costa

I hadn't anyone
Till you
I was a lonely one
Till you
I used to lie awake and wonder
If there could be
A someone in this wide world
Just made for me
And now I see
I had to save my love
For you
I never gave my love
Till you
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone
Till you
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone
Till you


10.Come Rain Or Come Shine

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Don Costa

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine

The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine


11.More Than You Know

Written:Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans
Arranger:Billy May
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Vocal Chorus

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I am 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
I need you so
Much more than you'll 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


12.If You Go Away

Lyrics:Rod Mckuen
Music:Jacques Brel
Arranger:Don Costa

If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away;
All the birds that flew in the summer sky,
When our love was new and our hearts were high;
When the day was young and the night was long,
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again;
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain,
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.
Then if you go, I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

If you go, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop
turning
Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love
without loving you,
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slowly till
the next hello,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been, or will be again.
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.
But if you go, go, I won't cry,
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
Like the empty look I see on your face.
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.


13.Yesterday

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney
Arranger:Don Costa

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she woldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.


14.Drinking Again

Written:Johnny Mercer/Doris Tauber
Arranger:Claus Ogerman

Drinking again,
And thinking of when you loved me
I'm having a few
And wishing that you were here.

Making the rounds...
Accepting a round from a strangers
Being a fool
Just hoping that you'll appear.

Sure, I can borrow a smoke
Maybe tell some joker a bad joke
But nobody laughs,
They don't laugh at a broken heart.

Oh, yeah, I'm drinking again
It's always that same old story
After the kicks
There's little old mixed-up me
Tryin' to lose, a dream that used to be.


15.I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Torrie Zito

I'll only miss her, when I think of her
And I'll think of her, all the time
Likely I'll spend my days - hearing her turn of phrase
Things I found hard to praise - right now, would seem sublime

The truth is...

I'll Only miss her, when some stranger laughs
'Cause it's still her laugh - my hearts hears
Maybe in time - I guess, the longing will grow, the slightest
bit less
And there will be moments - yes - when it disappears

I'll bet I'll forget her completely - in about a hundred years


16.How Insensitive(Insensatez)

Written:Antonio Carlos Jobim/Ray Gilbert/Vinicius Demoraes
Arranger:Claus Ogerman

How insensitive I must have seemed
when she told me that she loved me.
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
when she told me so sincerely.
Why,she must have asked, did I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say? What can you say
when a love affair is over?

Now she's gone away and I'm alone
with the memory of her last look.
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still,
all her heartbreak in that last look.
How, she must have asked, could I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do? What can one do
when a love affair is over?


17.Didn't We?

Lyrics:Jimmy Webb
Music:Jimmy Webb
Arranger:Don Costa

This time we almost made the pieces fit, didn't we?
This time we almost some sense of it, didn't we?
This time I have the answer right here in my hand,
Then I touched it, and it has turned to sand.

This time we almost sang the song in tune, didn't we?
This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we?
This time, we almost made (almost made) a poem rhyme
And this time we almost made that long hard climb.
Didn't we almost make it this time... this time.


18.All My Tomorrows

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Don Costa

Today I may not have a thing at all
Except for just a dream or two
But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you

Right now it may not seem like spring at all
We're drifting and the laughs are few
But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you

No one knows better than I
That luck keeps passing me by ... that's fate
But with you there at my side
I'll soon be turrning the tide ... just wait

As long as I've got arms that cling at all
It's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, beg, or borrow
On some bright tomorrow they'll all come true

And all my bright tomorrows belong to you


19.Put Your Dreams Away

Written:Ruth Lowe/Stephen Weiss/Paul Mann
Arranger:Axel Stordahl/Nelson Riddle

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

(Musical Interlude)

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
