Greatest Love Songs

Frank Sinatra Greatest Love Songs Lyrics
1.My Funny Valentine

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Patrick William

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day


2.What Is This Thing Called Love?

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?


3.Like Someone In Love

Lyrics:Johnny Burke
Music:Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Lately,
I find myself gazing at stars,
hearing guitars like someone in love.

Sometimes the things I do astound me,
mostly whenever you're around me.

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
bump into things like someone in love.

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
and feeling like someone in love.


4.I've Got A Crush On You

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Patrick Williams

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell

I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush on you

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you


5.Let's Fall In Love

Written:Ted Koehler/Harold Arlen
Arranger:Johnny Mandel

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know
why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it

Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love


6.You'd Be So Easy To Love

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Johnny Mandel

You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for

And we would be so grand at the game
Carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love

You'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep all the home fires burning for

We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love

Easy to love
Easy to love


7.Fly Me To The Moon

Written:Bart Howard
Arranger:Quincy Jones/Patrick Williams
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Count Basie/His Orchestra

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you


8.In The Blue Of The Evening

Lyrics:Tom Adair
Music:Al D'artega
Arranger:Axel Stordahl/Tommy Dorsey/Sy Oliver

In the blue of evening when you appear close to me, dear one,
There in the dusk we'll share a dream reverie
In the blue of evening while crickets call and stars are falling
There 'neath the midnight sky you'll come to me

In the shadows of the night we'll stand
I'll touch your hand and then
Softly as your lovely eyes entreat
Our lips will meet again

In the blue of evening, night winds above whisp'rin' 'I love
you'
There will we find romance in the blue of evening


In the blue of evening, night winds above whisp'ring 'I love
you'
There will we find romance in the blue of evening


9.Moonlight Serenade

Lyrics:Glenn Miller Orchestra
Music:Mitchell Parish
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I stand at your gate.
And the song that I sing is of moonlight.
I stand and I wait
For a touch of your hand in a June night.
The roses are sign of moonlight serenade.

The stars are all aglow.
And tonight how their light set me dreaming.
My love, do you know
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you, and I sing you a moonlight serenade.

Let us trace 'til break of day
In love's valley of dreams.
Just you and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze, kiss on a tree.

So don't let me wait.
Come to me tenderly in a June night.
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in a moonlight.
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade.


10.I'm Getting Sentimental Over You

Lyrics:Ned Washington
Music:George Bassman
Arranger:Sy Oliver

Never thought I'd fall, but when I hear you call,
I'm getting sentimental over you.
Things you say and do just thrill me through and through,
I'm getting sentimental over you.
I thought I was happy I could live without love,
Now I must admit, love is all I'm thinking of.
Won't ypu please be kind, and just make up your mind
That you'll be sweet and gentle, be gentle with me
'Cause I'm getting sentimental over you.


11.In The Still Of The Night

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Neal Hefti/Billy May

In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
When I say to you

Do you love me
Just like I love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Will it fade way out of sight

Just like that moon growing dim
Way out on the rim of the hill
In the still of the night


12.You And The Night And The Music

Lyrics:Howard Dietz
Music:Arthur Schwartz
Arranger:Johnny Mandel

You and the night and the music fill me with flaming desire,
Setting my being completely on fire!
You and the night and the music thrill me but will we be one
After the night and the music are done?
Until the pale light of dawning and daylight, our hearts will be
throbbing guitars,
Morning may come without warning, and take away the stars.
If we must live for the moment, love till the moment is through!
After the night and the music die, will I have you?


13.Don't Take Your Love From Me

Lyrics:Henry Nemo
Music:Henry Nemo
Arranger:Heinie Beau/Don Costa

Tear a star from out the sky
And the sky feels blue
Tear a petal from a rose
And the rose weeps too

Take your heart away from mine
And mine will surely break
My life is yours to make
So please keep the spark awake

Would you take the wings from birds
So that they can't fly
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh

All this your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me


14.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


15.My Heart Stood Still

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland
Was my heart's domain
I saw your eyes
Now castles rise in Spain!

I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still

Through all my school days
I hated boys
Those April Fool days
Brought me loveless joys
I read my Plato
Love, I thought a sin
But since your kiss
I'm reading Missus Glyn!


16.The Very Thought Of You

Lyrics:Ray Noble
Music:Ray Noble
Arranger:Robert Farnon

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love


The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love


17.The Way You Look Tonight

Written:Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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.


18.You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me

Written:Pierre Norman Connor/Sammy Fain/Irving Kahal
Arranger:Axel Stordahl/Nelson Riddle

If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me

And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
You brought a new love to me

I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen
Still you can understand that underneath it all
You're a maid and I am only a man

I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
You brought a new kind of love to me


19.Night And Day

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Joe Beck

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you

Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you

Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day


20.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


21.All The Way

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

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may

Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way


22.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
