Love Songs

Frank Sinatra Love Songs Lyrics
1.Falling In Love With Love

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Billy May

I weave with brightly colored strings
To keep my mind off other things
So, ladies, let your fingers dance
And keep your hands out of romance

Lovely witches
Let the stitches
Keep your fingers under control
Cut the thread, but leave
The whole heart whole

Merrry maids can sew and sleep
Wives can only sew and weep
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool

Caring too much is juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just
For children in school
I fell in love with love one night
When the mood was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see

I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me


2.Just One Way To Say I Love You

Written:Harold Archer/Harlan Thompson
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I love you. I love you.
Is all that I can say.
I love you. I love you.
The same old worlds I'm saying in the same old way.

I love you. I love you.
Three words that are divine.
And now, my dear, I'm waitin' to hear
The words that will make you mine.

Little girl, I love you.
Can't you see I love you.
I love you. Can't you see I love you.

I love you. I love you.
Three words that are divine.
And now, my dear, I'm waitin' to hear
The words that make you mine.


3.I Fall In Love Too Easily

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

There are those who can leave love or take it
Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my fav'rite game

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been burned in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast


4.Embraceable You

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you

Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in you
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me

I love all, the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you

Don't you be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you


5.They Say It's Wonderful

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

They say that falling is love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say.
And with the moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me.

I can't recall who said it;
I know I never read it;
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say.

To leave your house some morning,
And without any warning,
You're stopping people shouting that love is grand, and
To hold the girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say.


6.Fools Rush In

Written:Johnny Mercer/Rube Bloom
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

(Instrumental opening-one full verse)

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me then I don't care

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love so how are they to know
When we met I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

(Instrumental close--one full verse)


7.Everybody Loves Somebody

Written:Irving Taylor/Ken Lane
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
(That) My sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
(That) My someplace is here

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you


8.Take My Love

Written:Frank Sinatra/Joel Herron/Jack Wolf
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

Take my love, hold me tight, take my love, share this night,
Share my lips, share my heart, say that we'll never part,
Take my love, hold me tight, in its thrill find delight,
Let each kiss build a dream, let our love be its theme.

True love, fate for your hand, mine is the true love,
My anxious heart await your command.
Take my love, hold me tight, take my love, say it's right,
Say that you feel as I, say we'll love till we die.

(musical interlude)

True love, fate for your hand, mine is the true love,
My anxious heart await your command.

Take my love, hold me tight, take my love, say it's right,
Say that you feel as I, say we'll love till we die,
Take my love.


9.I Am Loved

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

I am loved, I am loved by the one I love in every way,
I am loved, absolutely loved,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.

I'm adored, I'm adored by the one who first led my heart astray,
I'm adored, absolutely adored,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.

So ring out the bells, and let the trumpets blow,
And beat on the drums, 'cause now I know, I know,
I am loved, I am loved,
What a wonderful thing, what a beautiful thing,
What a glorious thing to be able to say.

What a wonderful thing, what a beautiful thing,
What a glorious thing, I am loved.


10.Every Man Should Marry

Written:Benny Davis/Abner Silver
Arranger:Hugo Winterhalter

Every man should marry, every girl should wed,
You will find no truer words ever have been said.
Every man is sentimental, he's just a dreamer at heart,
He needs someone soft and gentle to give his dream a start.

I don't know how to tell you, don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Yes, I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?

Don't know how to tell you, I don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Guess I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?


11.The Right Girl For Me

Lyrics:Adolph Green/Betty Comden
Music:Roger Edens
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

I'll hear heavenly music,
I'll hear bells start to chime,
I'll hear thunder, and I'll be struck with wonder
But I won't have to look a second time.

If her voice is a song, and her walk is a dance,
And if her laugh is warm and free,
If I suddenly seem to be seeing a dream,
She's the right girl for me.

If the glow in her eyes and the light in her smile
Could charm a bird right off a tree,
I'd be charmed as a bird and I'll know in a word,
She's the right girl for me.

She'll have a simple sweet appeal,
That wins my affection.
She'll be the kind who'll make me feel
She needs my protection.

If the sight of her face and the touch of her hand
Can make me happy as can be,
If my heart says 'Come in,
Darling, where have you been?'
She's the right girl for me.


If the sight of her face and the touch of her hand
Can make me happy as can be,
If my heart says 'Come in,
Darling, where have you been?'
She's the right girl for me,
She's the right girl for me.


12.My Girl

Lyrics:Charles Freed
Music:Charles Freed
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

My girl is violin and candlelight,
My girl is star-shine on a summer night.
Lucky heart to be part of a love like this,
Where every single kiss is a short-cut to heaven.

Heaven knows, she's everything that's dear to me,
She smiles, and cloudy days are clear to me.
Yes, the world is my oyster and I got the pearl,
And I'm happy 'cause I got my girl.

My girl is autumn days and skies of gold,
A fire to dream by, when the night is cold.
Yes, the world is my oyster and I've got the pearl,
I'm happy 'cause I've got my girl.


13.We Kiss In A Shadow

Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

He:We kiss in the shadow, we hide from the moon,
Our meetings are few and over too soon.
She: We speak in a whisper, afraid to be heard,
When people are near, we speak not a word.
He: Alone in our secret, together we cry
For one smiling day to be free.
To kiss in the sunlight, and say to the sky,
Behold and believe what you see,
Behold how my lover loves me.

(musical interlude)

She: We speak in a whisper, afraid to be heard,
When people are near, we speak not a word.
He: Alone in our secret, together we cry
For one smiling day to be free.
Both: To kiss in the sunlight, and say to the sky,
Behold and believe what you see,
Behold how my lover loves me.


14.Love Me

Lyrics:Ned Washington
Music:Victor Young
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

I'm so in love with you, please love me
Whatever else you do, just love me
Go your way and dance and play till dawn breaks though
If you'll just call up and say 'I love you, just you'

You're all that I desire, love me
I'd die if you should tire, oh, of me, love me
I'll be kind and I won't mind if you're not near
If you'll only love me, dear

(brief music interlude)

Love me
I'll be kind and I won't mind if you're not near
If you'll only love me, dear


15.I Hear A Rhapsody

Written:Dick Gasparre/Jack Baker/George Fragos
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Jeff Alexander Choir

And when I hear you call so softly to me,
I don't hear a call at all, I hear a rhapsody.
And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me,
Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away,
My heart longs for you, so won't you stay?
My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me
Then soft through the starry night I hear a rhapsody
