NOTHING BUT THE BEST

Frank Sinatra NOTHING BUT THE BEST Lyrics
1.Come Fly With me

Come fly with me
lets fly lets fly away
If you can use
some exotic booze
Theres a bar in far bombay
Come fly with me
lets fly lets fly away

Come fly with me
lets float down to peru
In lama land
theres a one man band
And hell toot his flute for you
Come fly with me
well float down in the blue

Once I get you up there
where the air is rarefied
Well just glide
starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may here
angels cheer
because were together
Weather wise its such a lovely day
You just say the words
and well beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect
for a flying honeymoon they say
Come fly with me
lets fly lets fly away

Once I get you up there
where the air is rarefied
Well just glide
starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may here
angels cheer
because were together
Weather wise its such a lovely day
You just say the words
and well beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect
for a flying honeymoon they say
Come fly with me
lets fly lets fly away

Come fly with me


2.The Best Is Yet To Come

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum

You came along and everything's startin' to hum

Still it's a real good bet
the best is yet to come

Best is yet to come and babe
won't that be fine

You think you've seen the sun
but you ain't seen it shine

a-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come and babe
won't it be fine

Best is yet to come
come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine

I'm gonna teach you to fly

We've only tasted the wine

We're gonna drain the cup dry

Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround

You think you've flown before but baby
you ain't left the ground

a-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
a-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come and babe
won't it be fine

The best is yet to come
come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine

And you're gonna be mine


3.The Way You Look Tonight

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

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


4.Luck Be A Lady

They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out
Your on this date with me
The pickins have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if youve been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way youve treated other guys youve been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady never leaves her escort
It isnt fair it isnt nice
A lady doesnt wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
Im the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way youve treated other guys youve been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady never leaves her escort
It isnt fair it isnt nice
A lady doesnt wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
Im the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady

Luck be a lady

Luck be a lady tonight


5.Bewitched

She's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have her charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms

Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this silly situation
Has me on the blink
Frank Sinatra - Bewitched
I'm wild again beguiled again
A simpering whimpering child again
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

Couldn't sleep wouldn't sleep
Then love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

Lost my heart but what of it
She is cold I agree
She might laugh but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to her bring spring to her
And long for the day when I'll cling to her
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I


6.The Good Life

It's the good life
full of fun
seems to be the ideal
Yes the good life
lest you hide all the sadness you feel
You won't really fall in love
'cause you can't take the chance
So be honest with yourself
don't try to fake romance
Yes the good life
to be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartache when you learn
you must face them alone
Please remember I still want you
and in case you wonder why
Well just wake up
kiss that good life goodbye

Please remember I still want you
and in case you wonder why
Well just wake up
kiss that good life goodbye


7.The Girl From Ipanema

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
each one she passes goes ah

When she walks shes like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes
each one she passes goes ooh
(ooh) but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me
Tall (and) tan (and) young (and) lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesnt see (doesnt see)
(Tom Jobim:)

(Sinatra:)
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
(Tom Jobim:)

(Sinatra:)
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
(Tom Jobim:)
Por causa do Amor
(Sinatra:)
She just doesn't see
(Tom Jobim:)
Nem olha para mim
(Sinatra:)
She never sees me
(Tom Jobim:)
Por causa do Amor


8.Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)

Fly Me To The Moon
Let me play among the 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

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
In other words I love you


9.Summer Wind

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


10.Strangers In The Night

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondring in the night
What were the chances wed 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 weve 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 and
Ever since that night weve been together
Lovers at first sight in love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night


11.Call Me Irresponsible

Call me irresponsible
call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I'm not too clever
I just adore you
Call me unpredictable
tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible
yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you

Call me irresponsible
yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you


12.Somethin' Stupid

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'

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')


13.My Kind Of Town

Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town chicago is
My kind of town chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam chicago is
Calling me home chicago is
Why I just brim like a cload
It's my kind of town

My kind of town chicago is
My kind of town chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz
And each time I leave chicago is
Tuggin my sleeve chicago is
The wrigley building chicago is
The union stockyard chicago is
One town that wont let you down
It's my kind of town


14.It Was A Very Good Year

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 are 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


15.That's Life

That's life that's what all the people say
You're riding 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 said that's life
and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it
let it get me down
'Cause this fine ol' 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 ya I can't deny it
I thought of quitting 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 and 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 cutting 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


16.Moonlight Serenade

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

The stars are aglow
And tonight how their light sets 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 stray 'til break of day
In love's valley of dreams
Just you and I a summer sky
A heavenly breeze kissin' the trees
So don't let me wait
Come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song my darling a moonlight serenade


17.Nothing But The Best

I like a new Lincoln with all of its class
I like a martini and third on the glass
I'm gonna start living you wait and see
Nothing but the best is good enough for me
I like to eat lobster directly from Maine
I like to see bullfights in sunny old Spain
I'm gonna start living you wait and see
Nothing but the best is good enough for me
Talley ho off we go who can wait another day
You and me out on a spree
let's get started right away
We're gonna go charlin' and have us a fling
We'll visit a palace and dine with the king
We're gonna start living you wait and see
Nothing but the best is good enough for me

You and me on a spree
let's get started right away
We're a-gonna go charlin' and have us a fling
We'll visit a palace and dine with the king
We're gonna start living you wait and see
Nothing but the best is good enough
Nothing but the best is good enough for me


18.Drinking Again

Drinkin' again and thinkin' of when
when you loved me
I'm havin' a few and wishin' that you were here

Makin' the rounds
accepting a round from strangers
Bein' a fool just hopin' 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 drinkin' again
it's always the same
That same old story
After the kicks there's little old mixed-up me
Tryin' to lose a dream that used to be

Look at me
I'm drinkin' again
drinkin' all over town
Yeah I'm drinkin' again


19.All My Tomorrows

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

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


20.My Way

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend Ill say it clear
I'll state my case
of which Im certain
I've lived a life thats full
I've traveled each and evry highway
And more much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets I've had a few
But then again
too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
But more much more than this
I did it my way
Yes there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all
when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved Ive laughed and cried
I've had my fill my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no oh no not me
I did it my way
For what is a man
what has he got
If not himself then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way


21.Theme From New York New York

Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New york new york
These vegabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New york new york
I wanna wake up in the city
That doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap

This little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old new york

If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New york new york

New york new york
I wanna wake up in the city
That never sleeps
And find I'm a number one
Top of the list
King of the hill a number one

This little town blues
Are melting away
I gotta make a brand new start of it
In old new york
And if I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New york new york
New york


22.Body & Soul

My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh for you dear only
Why havent you seen it
Im all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longin
And wondering why its me youre (ogling)
I tell you I mean it
Im all for you body and soul
I cant believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
And less I could have one more chance to prove dear
My life a wreck youre making
You know Im yours for just the taking
Id gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

My life a wreck youre making
You know Im yours for just the taking
I would gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
