Frank Sinatra Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Strangers In The Night

Written:Charles Singleton/Bert Kaempfert/Eddie Snyder
Arranger:Ernie Freeman

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night what were the chances
We'd be sharing love before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

and

Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night


Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night


2.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


3.It Was A Very Good Year

Lyrics:Ervin M.Drake
Music:Ervin M.Drake
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years


4.Somewhere In Your Heart

Written:Russell Faith/Clarence Kehner

Somewhere in your heart, try to find a place for me
Somewhere in your heart, I won't care where it might be
One little corner may not mean so much to you
But one little corner would be enough to see me through

Somewhere in your dreams, let my lips come close to you
Though they're only dreams, someday they may all come true
Is it so much to ask for such a tiny part?
Won't you find a place for me, somewhere in your heart?

(Somewhere in your dreams), let my lips come close to you
(Though they're only dreams), someday they may all come true
Is it so much to ask for such a tiny part?
Won't you find a place for me, somewhere in your heart?


5.Forget Domani

Written:Norman Newell/Rizero Ortolani
Arranger:Ernie Freeman

Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow for tomorrow never comes

Domani, forget domani
Let's live for now and anyhow who needs domani?
The moonlight, let's share the moonlight
Perhaps together we will never be again

Ah, che luna, oh, che mare
With such a moon and such a sea and you and me
I get so dizzy when you're standing near
It's not the music that you hear
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
Let's take the minutes as they speed away
And hope it's true what people say
'When you're in love, tomorrow never comes'

Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow for tomorrow never comes

Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow for tomorrow never comes

Domani,* madonne *, domani!
With such a moon and such a sea and you and me
Let's take the minutes as they speed away
And hope it's true what people say
'When you're in love tomorrow never comes'

Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow for tomorrow never comes

Oh, let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow
Let's forget about tomorrow for tomorrow never comes

Oh, let's forget about tomorrow


6.Something Stupid

Written:C.Carson Parks
Arranger:Billy Strange
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Nancy Sinatra

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: 'I love you'

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: 'I love you'
('I love you, I love you,...')


7.That's Life

Written:Kelly Gordon/Dean Kay
Arranger:Ernie Freeman

That's life - that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I say, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks steppin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet - a pawn and a
king
I've been up and down and over and out - and I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life - I tell you - I can't deny it:
I thought of quittin', baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy
it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird an then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet - a pawn and a
king
I've been up and down and over and out - and I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, laying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life. that's life, and I can't deny it:
Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball...
And die
My, my


8.Tell Her(You Love Her)

Written:Barry Sol' Parker/Hugh Halliday/Homer Denison
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Tell her you love her each day, you'll make her happy that way.
A simple 'I love you' means more than money,
And with a kiss or two her life is sunny.

Give her a reason to live, she needs the love that you give,
Always remember that is what she lives for
She hopes you love her ... tell her you love her! Tell her you
love her -- Today!

Give her a reason to live, she needs the love that you give.
Always remember that is what she lives for
She hopes you love her ... Tell her you love her! Tell her you
love her -- Today!


9.The World We Knew(Over And Over)

Lyrics:Carl Sigman
Music:Herbert Rehbein/Bert Kaempfert
Arranger:Ernie Freeman

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Once when you walked beside me
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
When we two were in love

And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold

Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me


And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took, it turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold

Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew


10.When Somebody Loves You

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Ernie Freeman

When somebody loves you, you feel it in your heart
When somebody loves you, you know it from the start
Every kiss becomes more than a kiss
Each look, each touch they mean so much
And that's when you discover how it feels to be a lover

When somebody loves you, it shows in every smile
When somebody loves you, your life becomes worthwhile
Always caring, always sharing everything you do
When somebody loves you like I love you

(When somebody loves you, it shows in every smile)
(When somebody loves you, your life becomes worthwhile)
Always caring, always sharing everything you do
When somebody loves you like I love you


11.This Town

Lyrics:Lee Hazelwood
Music:Lee Hazelwood
Arranger:Billy Strange

This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town

This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town


This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it's a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-down town

This town is a losin' town
It's a miserable town
It's a nowhere town
And I am leavin' this town
You better believe that I'm leavin' this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It's bound to be downtown


This town, bye-bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye


12.Softly, As I Leave You

Written:Hal Shaper/Antonio Devita/Giorgio Calabrese
Arranger:Ernie Freeman

Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there

(Softly, long before you kiss me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there
As I leave I you there
