Popular Frank Sinatra 1

Love lies have a way of sounding true,
When love lies comes from one as sweet as you,
I know i'm not an angel, dear,
But when you say that i am,
Hh how i love to hear you.
Tell me, are you thrilled each time we meet,
And tell me, how i sweep you off your feet,
Although i don't believe a word,
They're the sweetest love lies that i have ever heard.

Verse:

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

Chorus:

Sometimes i wonder why i spend
The lonely nights
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, and now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.
Beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though i dream in vain, in my heart you will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

Say it over and over again,
Over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.
Say it,
Ever and ever so sweet,
Ever and ever so sweet just like an old valentine.
When you say i love you,
The same old i love you,
They whisper in stories and plays,
You can change i love you,
The same old i love you,
To oh such a heavenly phrase.
So say it,
Softly and gently and then,
Over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.

Our love affair will be such fun,
We'll be the envy of everyone,
The famous lovers, we'll make them forget,
>from adam and eve, to scarlett and rhett.
When you have had its merry fling,
We'll spend our evenings remembering,
Two happy people who say on the square,
"wasn't ours a lovely love affair."

Do i worry `cause you're stepping out,
Do i worry `cause you've got me in doubt
Though your kisses aren't right,
Do i give a bag of beans,
Do i stay home every night,
And read my magazines,
Am i frantic `cause we've lost the spark,
Is there panic when it starts turning dark,
And when evening shadows creep,
Do i lose any sleep over you.
Do i worry, you can bet your life i do.

Just a melancholy echo ling'ring when the day is through,
It's the call of the canyon, once again i'm dreaming of you.
Every night i search the moonlight up and down the river shore,
It's the call of the canyon, maybe i will find you once more.
Standing there alone by the ashes of the fire we said would never die,
Will i ever find an ember burning from the days gone by.
Then i hear a lonely whisper as a little spark i see,
It's the call of the canyon, bringing back your answer to me.

I'll never smile again
Until i smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through
I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know i will never start
To smile again
Until i smile at you
Within my heart
I know i will never start
To smile again
Until i smile at you

You know the one i love belongs to somebody else,
That's why she sings her songs to somebody else,
And even when you have your arms around her
You know her thoughts are with somebody else,
And when i hold her hand they belong to somebody else
And you can bet they're not so cold to somebody else,
It's tough to be alone on a shelf,
And it is worse to fall in love by yourself
When the one you love belongs to somebody else.

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And i'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill i could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why i'm so proud i'm bustin' my vest

So i'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes i'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And i'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

And i never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill i could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud i'm bustin' my vest

So i'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes i'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!

I make a date for golf -
You can bet you life it rains.
I try to give a party -
And the guy upstairs complains.
I guess i'll go thru life;
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains,
Ev'rything happens to me.

I never miss a thing -
I've had measles and the mumps.
And ev'ry time i play my ace -
My partner always trumps.
I guess i'm just a fool;
Who never looks before he jumps,
Ev'rything happens to me.

At first my heart tho't;
You could break this jinx for me.
That love would turn the trick;
To end my despair.
But now, i just can't fool;
This head that thinks for me.
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.

I've telegraphed and called;
I sent "air mail special", too;
You answer was goodbye -
And there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once;
And then it had to be with you,
Ev'rything happens to me.
