Nice N' Easy

Frank Sinatra Nice N' Easy Lyrics
1.Nice 'N' Easy

Written:Alan Bergman/Marilyn Bergman/Lew Spence
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Let's take it nice 'n' easy
It's gonna be so easy for us to fall in love
Hey, baby, what's your hurry?
Relax 'n' don't you worry, we're gonna fall in love

We're on the road to romance, that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now, of course, is to simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime 'cause nice 'n' easy does it every time


We're on the road to romance, that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now, of course, is to simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime 'cause nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it every time

'Like the man says, 'one more time' '

Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it every time


2.That Old Feeling

Written:Sammy Fain/Lew Brown
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart


There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart


3.How Deep Is The Ocean(How High Is The Sky)

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

How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?


How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How high is the sky?


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.You Go To My Head

Lyrics:Haven Gillespie
Music:Fred Coots
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my
plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head


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.Nevertheless


8.She's Funny That Way(I Got A Woman Crazy For Me)

Written:Neil Moret/Richard Whiting
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm livin' and happy to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
She'd never holler, she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way

Though she'd love to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away

But why should I leave her, why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me, I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way


When I hurt her feelin's once in a while
Her only answer is one little smile
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way


9.Try A Little Tenderness

Written:Harry Woods/Reg Conolly/Jimmy Campbell
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

INTRO:
In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realize

She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness

She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
But a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness


10.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


11.Mam'selle

Lyrics:Mack Gordon
Music:Edmund Goulding
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

A small Caf Mam'selle, our rendezvous, Mam'selle.
The violins were warm and sweet, and so were you Mam'selle.
And as the night danced by, a kiss became a sigh,
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way that mine does for you.
And yet I know too well someday you'll say goodbye,
Then violins will cry, and so will I Mam'selle.


12.Dream(When You're Feeling Blue)

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Johnny Mercer
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Get in touch with that sundown fellow
As he tiptoes across the sand
He's got a million kinds of stardust
Pick your fav'rite brand, and

Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings in the air
You'll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things are never as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream


13.The Nearness Of You

Lyrics:Ned Washington
Music:Hoagy Carmichael
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you

It isnt your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you

When youre in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If youll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you


14.Someone To Watch Over Me

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

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told, 'Seek and ye shall find'
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me


15.Day In-Day Out(Ballad Version)

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Rube Bloom
Arranger:Neal Hefti/Billy May

Day in - day out
That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think of you
And baby I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out - day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in - day out


16.My One And Only Love

The very thought of you makes
My heart sing
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendour
My one and only love

The shadows fall
And spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night
While you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

My one and only love
