IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON (F)

I never feel a thing is realWhen I'm away from youOut of your embraceThe world's a temporary parking place

Mmm, mm, mm, mmA bubble for a minuteMmm, mm, mm, mmYou smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it

Say, its only a paper moonSailing over a cardboard seaBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in me

Yes, it's only a canvas skyHanging over a muslin treeBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in me

Without your loveIt's a honky-tonk paradeWithout your loveIt's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey worldJust as phony as it can beBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in me

A FOGGY DAY (F)

A foggy day, in London town, it had me low, and it had me down

I viewed the morning, with much alarm, the British Museum, had lost its charm

How long I wondered, could this thing last, but the age of miracles, it hadn't past

And suddenly, I saw you standing right thereAnd in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere

Page 5: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

ALL OF ME (C)

All of me - why not take (come on get) all of meCan't you see - I'm no good (just a mess) without you

Take my lips - I want to lose themTake (Get a piece of) my (these) arms - I'll never use them

Your good-bye - left me with eyes that cryHow can I - get along (ever make it) without you

(You know) You took (got) the part - that once was (used to be) my heartSo why not - why not take all of me

Page 6: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

AS TIME GOES BY (D)

You must remember thisA kiss is still a kissA sigh is still (just) a sighThe fundamental things applyAs time goes by

And when two lovers wooThey still say: "I love you"On that you can relyNo matter what the future bringsAs time goes by

Moonlight and love songs - never out of dateHearts full of passion - jealousy and hateWoman needs man - and man must have his mateThat no one can deny

It's still the same old story A fight for love and gloryA case of do or dieThe world will always welcome loversAs time goes by

Page 7: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

BEST IS YET TO COME

Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumYou came along and everything started to humStill it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come, and babe won't that be fineYou think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

Wait till the warm-up is underwayWait till our lips have metWait till you see that sunshine dayYou ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fineThe best is yet to come, come the day that your mine

Come the day that you're mineI'm gonna teach you to flyWe've only tasted the wineWe're gonna drain that cup dry

Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surroundYou think you've flown before, but baby you ain't left the ground

Wait till you're locked in my embraceWait till I draw you nearWait till you see that sunshine placeAin't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fineThe best is yet to come, come the day that you're mine

Come the day you're mineAnd you're gonna be mine.

BLACK MAGIC

That old black magic has me in its spell,That old black magic that you weave so wellThose icy fingers up and down my spine,The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine,The same old tingle that I feel inside

And then that elevator starts its slide,Down and down I go,Round and round I go,Like a leaf that's caught in the tide.

I should stay away but what can I do,I hear your name, and I'm aflame,A flame with such a burning desire,That only your kiss can put out the fire.

'Cause you're the lover I have waited for,The mate that fate had me created for,

And every time your lips meet mine,Darling, down and down I go,Round and round I go,In that spin of love that I am in,Under that old black magic of love.

BLUE MOON (D)

Blue MoonYou saw me standing aloneWithout a dream in my heartWithout a love of my own

Blue MoonYou knew just what I was there forYou heard me saying a prayer forSomeone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before meThe only one my arms will (ever) holdI heard somebody whisper please adore meAnd when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue MoonNow I'm no longer aloneWithout a dream in my heartWithout a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before meThe only one my arms will ever holdI heard somebody whisper please adore meAnd when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Blue moonNow I'm no longer aloneWithout a dream in my heartWithout a love of my own

Blue moonNow I'm no longer aloneWithout a dream in my heartWithout a love of my own

CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE (F)

Call me irresponsible - call me unreliableThrow in undependable tooDo my foolish alibis bore youWell I'm not too clever - I just adore you

Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impracticalRainbows I'm inclined to pursueCall me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliableBut it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you

Page 13: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

CHEEK TO CHEEK (C)

Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd my heart beats so that I can hardly speakAnd I seem to find the happiness I seekWhen we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd the cares that hung around me through the weekSeem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streakWhen we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountainAnd reach the highest peakBut it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out fishingIn a river or a creekBut I don't enjoy it half as muchAs dancing cheek to cheek

(Come on and) Dance with meI want my arm(s) about youThat (Those) charm(s) about youWill carry me through...

(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heavenAnd my heart beats so that I can hardly speakAnd I seem to find the happiness I seekWhen we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)Out together dancing cheek to cheek

COME FLY WITH ME (B)

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly awayIf you can use some exotic boozeThere's a bar in far BombayCome fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to PeruIn llama-land there's a one-man bandAnd he'll toot his flute for youCome fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up thereWhere the air is rarefiedWe'll just glideStarry-eyedOnce I get you up thereI'll be holding you so nearYou may hearAngels cheer, 'cause we're together

Weather-wise, it's such a lovely dayJust say the words and we'll beat the birdsBack to Acapulco BayIt is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they sayCome fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Once I get you up thereWhere the air is rarefiedWe'll just glideStarry-eyedOnce I get you up thereI'll be holding you so nearYou may hearAngels cheer, 'cause we're together

Weather-wise, it's such a lovely dayIf you say the word, we will beat those birdsBack to Acapulco BayIt is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say

Page 16: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

Come fly with me, let's fly, let,s fly,Pack up, let's fly away

Page 17: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

CLOSE TO YOU

Close to you - I will always stayClose to you - though you're far away

You'll always be near - as though you were hereBy my sideNo matter where - in my dreams, I'll find you there

Close to me - sharing your caressCan't you see - you're my happiness

Where ever you go - my heart will go tooWhat can I doIt only wants to be - close to you

Page 18: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

COME RAIN OR COME SHINE

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved youCome rain or come shineHigh as a mountain, deep as a riverCome rain or come shine

I guess when you met meIt was just one of those thingsBut 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 meCome rain or come shineWe'll be happy together, unhappy togetherNow won't that be just fine

The days may be cloudy or sunnyWe're in or we're out of the moneyBut I'm with you alwaysI'm with you rain or shine

Page 19: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY (G)

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

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

If I had it in my powerI'd arrange for every girl to have your charmThen every minute, every hourEvery boy would find what I've found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometimeAnd although my dream was overdueYour love made it well worth waitingFor someone like you

Page 20: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

FLY ME TO THE MOON (C)

Fly me to the moonLet me play among the starsLet me see what spring is likeOn Jupiter and Mars

FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE (D)

For once in my life I have someone who needs meSomeone I've needed so longFor once unafraid I can go where life leads meAnd somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream ofLong before I knewSomeone warm like youWould make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt meNot like it's hurt me beforeFor once I have something I know won't desert meAnd I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say: "This is mine you won't take it"Long as I know I have love I can make itFor once in my life I've got someone who needs me

For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it"Long as I know I have love I can make itFor once in my life I've got someone For once in my life I've found someone For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

GIRL FROM IPANEMA (A)

(Sinatra:)Tall and tan and young and lovelyThe girl from Ipanema goes walkingAnd when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah

When she walks, she's like a sambaThat swings so cool and sways so gentleThat when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh

(Ooh) But I watch her so sadlyHow can I tell her I love herYes I would give my heart gladlyBut each day, when she walks to the seaShe looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovelyThe girl from Ipanema goes walkingAnd when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)

(Tom Jobim:)

Olha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graça É ela menina que vem e que passaNum doce balanço a caminho do mar...

Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema

Page 24: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

O seu balançado parece um poema É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar...

(Sinatra:)Ooh) But I watch her so sadly(Tom Jobim:)(Ahh) porque tudo é tão triste(Sinatra:)Yes I would give my heart gladlyBut each day, when she walks to the seaShe looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovelyThe girl from Ipanema goes walkingAnd 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...

HAVE YOU MET MISS JONES

"Have you met Miss Jones?" someone said as we shook hands,She was just Miss Jones to me.

And then I said, "Miss Jones, you're a girl who understandsI'm a man who must be free."

And all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death,And all at once I owned the earth and sky.

And now I've met Miss Jones, and we'll keep on meeting till we die,Miss Jones and I.

(musical interlude)

And all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death,And all at once I owned the earth and the sky.

Now I've met Miss Jones, and we'll keep on meeting till we die,Miss Jones and I, Miss Jones and I, Miss Jones and I

HELLO DOLLY

Hello Dolly, well hello Dolly,It's so nice to have you back where you belong.You're looking swell, Dolly, we can tell, Dolly,You're still glowing, you're still crowing, you're still going strong.

We feel the room swaying 'cause the band's playingOne of your old favorite songs from way back when,Take a rap, fellows, find her an empty lap, fellows,Dolly'll never go away, Dolly'll never go away...Again

(instrumental by Louie Armstrong playing his saxophone)

Hello Sax(Satch not Sax), this is Francis, Louie,It's so nice to see you back where you belong,You're back on top, Louie, never stop, Louie,You're still singing, you're still swinging, you're still going strong,You get the room swaying when you start in playingOne of your great songs, your songs from way back when,Blow your horn, Louie, sing up a great big storm, Louie,Promise you won't go away, promise you won't go away,Promise you won't go away again.

I’LL BE SEING YOU

I'll be seeing you;In all the old, familiar places;That this heart of mine embraces;All day through.

In that small cafe;The park across the way;The children's carousel;The chestnut tree;The wishing well.

I'll be seeing you;In every lovely, summer's day;And everything that's bright and gay;I'll always think of you that way;I'll find you in the morning sun;And when the night is new;I'll be looking at the moon;But I'll be seeing you

I’VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING (D)

I've got the world on a stringI'm sitting on a rainbowGot the string around my fingerWhat a world, what a life - I'm in love

I've got a song that I singI can make the rain go Any time I move my fingerLucky me, can't you see - I'm in love

Life is a beautiful thingAs long as I hold the stringI'd be a silly so-and-soIf I should ever let it go

I've got the world on a stringI'm sitting on a rainbowGot the string around my fingerWhat a world, what a life - I'm in love

Life is a beautiful thingAs long as I hold the stringI'd be a silly so-and-soIf I should ever let it go

I've got the world on a stringI'm sitting on a rainbowGot the string around my fingerWhat a world,

Page 30: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

Man, this is the lifeHey now, I'm so in love

Page 31: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN (E)

I've got you under my skinI've got you deep in the heart of meSo deep in my heart, that you're really a part of meI've got you under my skin.

I tried so not to give in I said to myself this affair never will go so wellbut why should I try to resist, when baby I know so wellI've got you under my skin.

I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of having you nearIn spite of a warning voice that comes in the nightAnd repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know little fool, you never can winUse your mentality, wake up to reality,But each time that I do, just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin,Because I've got you under my skin

I would sacrifice anything come what mightfor the sake of having you nearin spite of a warning voiceThat comes in the night and repeats, how it yells in my ear

Don't you know little fool, you never can winWhy not use your mentality,step up wake up to realityand each time I do, just the thought of youMakes me stop just before I begin'Cause I've got you under my skinyes I've got You under my skin..

Page 32: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU

Verse:

My story is much to sad to be toldBut practically everything leaves me totally coldThe only exception I know is the caseWhen I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennuiThen I suddenly turn and seeYour fabulous face

Chorus:

I get no kick from champagneMere alcohol doesn't thrill me at allSo tell me why should it be trueThat I get a kick out of you

Some, they may go for CocaineI'm sure that if I took even one sniffIt would bore me terrifically tooBut I get a kick out of you

( Some like the bop-type refrain )( I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff )( It would bore me terrifically too )( But I get a kick out of you )

( Some they may go for cocaine )( I'm sure that if, I took even one sniff )( It would bore me terrifically too )( But I get a kick out of you )

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a planeFlying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to doBut I get a kick out of you

I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO (B)

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay,The glory that was Rome is just another day,I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan,I'm going home to my city by the bay.

I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hill it calls to meTo be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care.

My love waits there in San Francisco, above the blue and windy sea,When I come home to you, San Francisco, your golden sun will shine for me.

Page 35: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU

Are the stars out tonight?I don't know if it's cloudy or bright'Cause I only have eyes for you, dearThe moon may be highBut I can't see a thing in the sky'Cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a gardenOr on a crowded avenueYou are here, so am IMaybe millions of people go byBut they all disappear from viewAnd I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a gardenOr on a crowded avenueYou are here, so am IMaybe millions of people go by(they all disappear from view)And I only have eyes For You

Page 36: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

I WANNA BE AROUND

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart,Somebody twice as smart as I.Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me,Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company, wait and see.

I wanna be around to see how he does it when he breaks your heart to bits,Let's see if the puzzle fits, so fine,And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine.

That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine,Like you, like you broke mine.

Page 37: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

I WONT DANCE

I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, Madame, with you My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what?, you're lovely You know what?, you're so lovely And, oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 'specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

And that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance, So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance

Page 38: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

I won't dance, don't ask me, I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, Madame, with you My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do

You know what?, you're lovely, Ring-a-ding-ding, you're lovely And, oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 'specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

and that's why I won't dance, I won't dance I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance!!

Page 39: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

IF

If a picture paints a thousands wordsThen why can't I paint you?The words would never showThe you I've come to know

If a ship is launched a thousands timesThen where am I to go?There's no one here but youYou're all that's left me too

And when - my love - for life - is running dryYou come - and pour - yourself - on me

If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with youTomorrow and today Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolvingSlowly spinning down to dieI'd spend the end with youAnd when the world was through

Then one - by one - the stars - would all go outAnd you - and I - would simply fly away

Page 40: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

IT HAD TO BE YOU (A)

Why do I do, just as you sayWhy must I just, give you your wayWhy do I sigh, why don't I try - to forget

It must have been, that something lovers call fateKept me saying: "I have to wait"I saw them all, just couldn't fall - 'til we met

It had to be you, it had to be youI wandered around, and finally found - the somebody whoCould make me be true, and could make me be blueAnd even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others I've seen, might never be meanMight never be cross, or try to be bossBut they wouldn't doFor nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you stillIt had to be you, wonderful youIt had to be you

Page 41: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

JUST IN TIME

I was resting comfortably, face down in the gutterLife was serene, I knew where I was at"There's no hope for him," my dearest friends would mutterI was something dragged in by the cat. Then ...

Just in timeI found you just in timeBefore you came my timeWas running lowI was lostThe losing dice were tossedMy bridges all were crossedNowhere to go

Now you're hereAnd now I know just where I'm goingNo more doubt or fear'Cause I found my wayFor love came just in timeYou found me just in timeAnd saved my lonely lifeThat lovely day

Page 42: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT (EB)

Some days, when i'm awfully lowWhen the world is coldI will feel a glow, just thinking of youAnd the way you look, Tonight

Yes your lovely, with your smile so warmAnd your cheek so softThere is nothing for me but to love youAnd the way you look tonight

With each word you tenderness growsTearing my fear apartAnd that laugh, wrinkles your noseTouches my foolish heart

Lovely, never never changeKeep, that breathless charmWont you please arrange itCause I love youA just the way you look tonight

Page 43: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

LET’S FALL IN LOVE

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

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

Let's fall in loveWhy shouldn't we fall in loveOur hearts are made of it, let's take a chanceWhy be afraid of it

Let's close our eyesAnd make our own paradiseLittle we know of it, still we can tryTo make a go of it

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

Let's fall in loveWhy shouldn't we fall in loveNow is the time for it, while we are youngLet's fall in love

Page 44: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

LOVE AND MARRIAGE

Love and marriage, love and marriageGo together like a horse and carriageThis I tell you brotherYou can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriageIt's an institute you can't disparageAsk the local gentry And they will say it's elementary

Try, try, try to separate themIt's an illusion Try, try, try, and you will only comeTo this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriageGo together like the horse and carriageDad was told by motherYou can't have one, you can't have none, you can't have one without the other!

No Sir!

Page 45: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

LOVE ME TENDER

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go,You have made my life complete and I love you so.Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled,For my darling, I love you and I always will.

Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart.For it's there that I belong and we'll never part.Love me tender, love me sweet, all my dreams fulfilled,For my darling, I love you and I always will.

Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine,I'll be yours through all the years till the end of time.Love me tender, love me sweet, all my dreams fulfilled,For my darling, I love you and I always will.

MACK THE KNIVE

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dearAnd he shows 'em, pearly whiteJust a jack knife has Macheath dearAnd he keeps it way out of sight

When that shark bites with his teeth, dearScarlet billows they begin to spreadFancy white gloves has Macheath dearSo there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, one Sunday morningLies a body, oozin' lifeSomeone's sneaking 'round the cornerCould that someone perhaps, per chance be Mack the Knife

From a tugboat, on the river going slowA cement bag is dropping down You know that cement is for the weight dearYou can make a large bet Macheath's in town

My man Louis Miller, he split the scene babeAfter drawing out all the bread from his stashNow Macheath spends like a sailor

Page 47: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

Do you suppose this guy, he did something rash

Old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby DarrinThey did this song nice, Lady Ella tooThey all sang it, with so much feelingThat Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new

But with this big, fat band, jumping behind meSwinging hard, Jack, I know I can't loseWhen I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babeIt's an offer, you can never refuse

We got Patrick Williams, Bill Miller playing that pianoAnd this wonderful, great big band, bringing up the rearAll these bad cats, in this band now They make the greatest sounds, you're ever gonna hear

Oh Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu Brown

Hey the line forms, on the right dearNow that Macheath,that bum is back in townYou'd better lock your doors, and call the lawBecause Mackie's back in town

Page 48: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

MISTY

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kittenUp a tree, And I feel like I'mClinging from a cloudI can't understandI get mistyJust holding your hand’

Walk my wayAnd a thousand violins begin to playOr it might be the sound of your helloThat music I hearI get mistyThe moment you're near

You can say that you're leading me onBut it's just what I want you to doDon't you notice how hopelessly I'm lostThat's why I'm following you

On my ownWould I wander through this wonderland aloneNever knowing my right foot from my leftMy hat from my glove

Page 49: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

I'm too mistyAnd too much in love

Page 50: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME

My baby don't care for shows, my baby don't care for clothes,My baby just cares for me.My baby don't care for furs and laces,My baby don't care for high toned places.My baby don't care for rings, or other expensive things.She's sensible as can be.My baby don't care who knows it, my baby just cares for me.

Page 51: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

MY FUNNY VALENTINE

My funny ValentineSweet comic ValentineYou make me smile with my heartYour looks are laughableUnphotographableYet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than GreekIs your mouth a little weakWhen you open it to speakAre you smart?

But don't change a hair for meNot if you care for meStay little Valentine stayEach day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than GreekIs your mouth a little weakWhen you open it to speakAre you smart?

But don't you change one hair for meNot if you care for me

Page 52: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

Stay little Valentine stayEach day is Valentine's day

NEARNESS OF YOU

It's not the pale moon that excites meThat thrills and delights me, oh noIt's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversationThat brings this sensation, oh noIt's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to meAll my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant meIf you'll only grant me the rightTo hold you ever so tightAnd to feel in the night the nearness of you

Page 53: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

NEW YORK NEW YORK

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving todayI want to be a part of it - New York, New YorkThese vagabond shoes, are are longing to strayRight through the very heart of it - New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleepAnd find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting awayI'll make a brand new start of it - in old New YorkIf i can make it there, I'll make it anywhereIt's up to you - New York, New York

New York, New YorkI want to wake up in a city that never sleepsAnd find I'm a number one, top of the listKing of the hill, a number one

These little town blues, are melting awayAnd I'm gonna 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

NIGHT AND DAY

Night and day, you are the oneOnly you beneath the moon or under the sunWhether near to me, or farIt's no matter darling where you areI think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it soThat this longing for you follows wherever I goIn the roaring traffic's boomIn the silence of my lonely roomI think of you day and night

Night and day,under the hide of meThere's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of meAnd this torment won't be throughUntil you let me spend my life making love to youDay and night, night and day

ONE NOTE SAMBA

This is just a little sambaBuilt upon a single noteOther notes are bound to followBut the root is still that note

Now this new note is the consequence of the one we've just been throughAs I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk and just say nothing or nearly nothingI have used up all the scale I know and at the end I've come to nothing or nearly nothing

So I come back to my first note as I must come back to youI will pour into that one note all the love I feel for youAny one who wants the whole show dó-ré-mi-fá-sol-lá-si-dóHe will find himself with no show better play the note you know

OVER THE RAINBOW

When all the world is a hopeless jumbleAnd the raindrops tumble all aroundHeaven opens a magic lane

When all the clouds darken up the skywayThere's a rainbow highway to be foundLeading from your windowpane

To a place behind the sunJust a step beyond the rain

Somewhere, over the rainbowWay up highThere's a land that I dreamed ofOnce in a lullabye

Somewhere, over the rainbowSkies are blueAnd the dreams that you dare to dreamReally do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds arefarbehind meWhere laughter falls like lemon drops away above the chimney topsThat's where you'll find me

Somewhere, over the rainbowSkies are blueAnd the dreams that you dare to dreamReally do come true

If happy little bluebirds flyBeyond the rainbowWhy, oh, why can't I?

SOUTH OF THE BORDER

South of the border - down Mexico wayThat's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to playAnd now as I wander - my thoughts ever straySouth of the border - down Mexico way

She was a picture - in old Spanish laceJust for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gaySouth of the border - Mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"Never dreaming that we were partingThen I lied as a whispered "manjanna"'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border - I jumped back one dayThere in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to prayThe mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't staySouth of the border - Mexico way

SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET

Grab your coat and snatch your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep.Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune in your step.Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with the blues on parade.BUT I'M NOT afraid the rover, crossed over.

If I never had a cent I'll be rich as Rockfeller.The gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade.But I'm not afraid 'cause the rover, he got over.

If I never had a cent I'd be rich as Rockfeller.All those chicks 'round my feet,On the sunny side of the street.

SUMMERWIND

The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the seaIt lingered there, to touch your hair- and walk with meAll summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sandTwo sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin' byThe world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella skyThen softer than, a piper man - one day it called to youAnd I lost you, i lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and goneAnd still the days, those lonely days - they go on and onAnd guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never endMy fickle friend, the summer wind

the summer wind warm summer wind mmm the summer wind

SWINGIN ON A STAR

Would you like to swing on a starCarry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a mule

A mule is an animal with long funny earsHe kicks up at anything he hearsHis back is brawny - and his brain is weakHe's just plain stupid with a - stubborn streak

And by the way, if you hate to go to schoolYou may grow up to be a mule

Would you like to swing on a starCarry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a pig

Page 62: ALEX's SINATRA SONGBOOK

A pig is an animal with dirt on his faceHis shoes are a terrible disgraceHe ain't got no manners when he eats his foodHe's fat and lazy - and extremely rude

But if you don't care a feather or a figYou may grow up to be a pig

Would you like to swing on a starCarry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a fish

A fish won't do anything but swim in a brookHe cant write his name or read a bookAnd to fool the people is his only thoughtThough he slippery - he still gets caughtBut then if that sort of life is what you wishYou may grow up to be a fish

And all the monkeys aren't in a zooEvery day you meet quite a fewSo you see it's all up to youYou can be better than you areYou could be swinging on a star

THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU

The very thought of you and I forget to doThe little ordinary things that everyone ought to do.I'm living in a kind of daydream, I'm happy as a king,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.

WITCHCRAFT

Those fingers in my hairThat sly come hither stareThat strips my conscience bareIt's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for itThe heat is too intense for itWhat good would common sense for it do

'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraftAnd although, I know, it's strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in meMy heart says yes indeed in meProceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitchBut one I wouldn't switch'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

Strangers in the night exchanging glancesWondering in the nightWhat were the chances we'd be sharing loveBefore the night was through

Something in your eyes was so invitingSomething in your smile was so excitingSomething in my heart told me I must have you

Strangers in the night, two lonely peopleWe were strangers in the nightUp to the moment when we said our first hello[. From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/f/frank-sinatra-lyrics/strangers-in-the-night-lyrics.html .]

Little did we knowLove was just a glance awayA warm embracing dance away

And ever since that night we've been togetherLovers at first sight, in love foreverIt turned out so right for strangers in the night

Love was just a glance awayA warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night we've been togetherLovers at first sight, in love foreverIt turned out so right for strangers in the night
