Portrait Of Sinatra-columbia C

Don't cry, joe,
Let her go, let her go, let her go,
Don't cry, joe,
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
You got to realize this is the wind-up,
You're gonna feel much better once you made your mind up.
Don't cry, joe,
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
So you lost your gal,
It's happened many times before,
So you sit and mope like a dope,
What's that good for,
Get a hold of yourself,
Forget her,
You lived long before you met her.
There're lots of other girls,
So i say,
Don't cry, joe,
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
Don't cry, joe,
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
You got to realize this is the wind-up,
You'll feel much better once you made your mind up.
Don't cry, joe,
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
Take a look around and see just what you're missing,
You'll soon forget your troubles, joe,
If you'd only listen.
So don't cry, joe,
Let her go, let her go, joe, let her go.

Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm

It's something daring, the continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra-new
It's very subtle, the continental
Because it does what you want it to do

It has a passion, the continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance

You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so sentimental

You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the continental all the time

<brief instrumental>

You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the continental all the time

Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm

The continental!

There's no business like show business like no business i know
Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow

There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show

The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause.
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything theatrical and why?

There's no business like show business and i tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling, standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's your billing out there in lights

There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no attack
Where could you get money that you don't give back? let's go on with the show

(there's no business like show business like no business i know)
You get word before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on

(there's no people like show people, they smile when they are low)
Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star, let's go on with the show!!

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, i wonder if you find love
An optical illusion, too?

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause i only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But 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 garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am i
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And i only have eyes for you

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and i ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All i do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything i had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and i ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

I hear music when i look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream i ever knew.
Down deep in my heart i hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.

I hear music when i touch your hand;
A beautiful melody
>from some enchanted land.
Down deep in my heart, i hear it say,
Is this the day?

I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't i let it go,
Why can't i let you know,
Why can't i let you know the song
My heart would sing?

That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true -
The song is you.

Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'cause that's the night that my sweetie and i
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind sunday night at all
'cause that's the night friends come to call
And monday to friday go fast
And another week is past

But saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that i sang for the memories i usually seek
Until i hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week

Mmmm... saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that i sang for the memories i usually seek
Until i hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week

Until i hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week

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

Take my lips - i want to lose them
Take (get a piece of) my (these) arms - i'll never use them

Your good-bye - left me with eyes that cry
How can i - get along (ever make it) without you

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

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do i see

Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

All the days are hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath 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 longing for you follows wherever i go
In the roaring 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 yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day

Why was i born, why am i livin'?
What do i get, what am i givin'?
Why do i want a thing i daren't hope for?
What can i hope for? i wish i knew

Why do i try to draw you near me?
Why do i do i cry? you never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can i do?
Why was i born to love you?

<instrumental-first two lines of second verse>

I'm a poor fool, but what can i do?
Why was i born to love you?


Some other versions may include an intro:
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
But to live in dreams that i make up all by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me, i picture the prettiest stories
Only to wake up all by myself what is the good of me by myself?

Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
(that) my sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
(that) my someplace is here

If i had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what i've found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you

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

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

Once i laughed when i heard you saying
That i'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind

And once you told me i was mistaken
That i'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You had what i lack, myself
Now i even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind

The torch i carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

When i want rain, i get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, i can't get myself together
Guess i'll hang my tears out to dry

My friend ask me out, but i tell them i'm busy
I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: "where is she?"
Guess i'll hang my tears out to dry

Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes

Then somebody says, just forget about her
But i gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, i got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess i'll hang my tears out to dry

Lovers depend on moonlight for a love affair
Babies depend on mothers for their tender care
Flowers depend on sunshine, and the morning dew
Each thing depends on something, and i depend on you

I can be happy, i can be sad
I can be good, i can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, i can be proud
It all depends on you

I can save money, or spend it
Go roght on living, or end it
You're to blama, baby, for what i do
I know that i can be beggar, i can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you

Isn't it sweet to know, dear, you can help me on?
Wouldn't it hurt, to know, dear, all my hopes were gone?
Wouldn't it make you proud, dear, if i made a name?
But if i failed to win, dear, would you want all the blame?

Put your dreams away for another day
And i will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start

When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then i'll have the right
To adore you

Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
