Frank Sinatra Sinatra And Strings Lyrics
1.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


2.Night And Day

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Don Costa

Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath 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 longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' 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 yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day


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

Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
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 burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day


3.Misty

Lyrics:Johnny Burke
Music:Erroll Garner
Arranger:Don Costa

Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud,
I can't understand
I get misty, just holding your hand,

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
The music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near

You can say that you're leading me on,
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.


4.Stardust

Lyrics:Mitchell Parish
Music:Hoagy Carmichael
Arranger:Don Costa

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart

You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain


5.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


6.It Might As Well Be Spring

Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Don Costa

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
O why should I have spring fever
When it isn't even spring

I keep I were someone else
Walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never head
From a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams
Spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giggy as a baby on a swing

I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
It might as
Well be
Spring


7.Prisoner Of Love

Lyrics:David West
Music:Cyril Ornadel
Arranger:Don Costa

There could never be a portrait of my love,
For nobody can paint a dream.
You will never see a portrait of my love,
For miracles are never seen.

Anyone who sees her, soon forgets the Mona Lisa.
It would take I know, a Michaelangelo,
And he would need the glow of dawn,
To paint the skies above,
To try and paint the portrait of my love.


8.That's All

Lyrics:Alan Brandt
Music:Bob Haymes
Arranger:Don Costa

I can only give you love that lasts forever
And the promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own, for you and you alone
That's all, that's all.

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night.
That's all, that's all.

There are those who would offer the moon, dear.
They would give you the world as a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore, now and evermore.
That's all, that's all.


9.All Or Nothing At All

Written:Arthur Altman/Jack Lawrence
Arranger:Don Costa

All or nothing at all
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I'd rather (rather) have nothing at all

All or nothing at all
If it's love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No I'd rather (rather) have nothing at all

But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall

And if I fell (I fell) under the spell of your call
I would be, caught in the undertow
So you see, I've got to say no, no
All or nothing at all


10.Yesterdays

Lyrics:Otto Harbach
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Don Costa

Yesterdays, Yesterdays, days I knew as happy sweet sequestered
days
Olden days, golden days, days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine, and truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life forsooth was mine

Sad am I, glad am I, for today I'm dreaming of, of yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine, the truth was mine
Sad am I, glad am I, for today I'm dreaming of, of yesterdays
