Selection Of Frank Sinatra 2

I'm not much to look at, i'm nothing to see
I'm just glad i'm living, lucky to be
I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way

I can't save a dollar, i ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got a woman, crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way

Though she loves 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've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

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 know i should pity me
But i don't because, you see
I have loved and i have learned
And as far as i'm concerned

I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping

Strangely enough i sleep well
'cept for a dream or two
But, then, i count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can tell you to sleep, so

I should care
I should let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn't get me

Maybe i should find
Someone as lovely as you
But i should care
And i do

I feel the autumn breeze
It steals cross my pillow
As soft as a will-o'-the-wisp
And in its song there is sadness because
There's no you
The lonely autumn trees
How softly they're sighing
For summer is dying they know
That in my heart there's no gladness because
There's no you
The park that we walked in
The garden we talked in
How lonesome they seem in the fall
The stormy clouds hover and falling leaves cover
Our favorite nook in the wall
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture
The summertime rapture
We knew
And from that day never more will i say
There's no you
The stormy clouds hover and falling leaves cover
Our favorite nook in the wall
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture
The summertime rapture
We knew
And from that day never more will i say
There's no you

I tried,
Tried to impress you,
My love,
I gave it all
Each hour ever at your beck and call.
I tried,
Tried to caress you,
My soul,
Filled with desire,
Two arms craving the one i admire.
Your charm was so appealing,
I loved you from the start,
There's still that same old feeling,
Concealed here in my heart.
I tried making you love me,
And you couldn't decide,
But i'll never regret that i tried,
And tried and tried.

Whenever it's early twilight
I watch 'til a star breaks through
Funny, it's not a star i see
It's always you

Whenever i roam through roses
And lately i often do
Funny, it's not a rose i touch
It's always you

If a breeze, caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If i hear, a melody
It's merely the way you sigh

Wherever you are you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time i fall in love
It's always you

You better get up and do it now, you better get up, my friend, and how,
The land that you love the best, is asking you to invest,
With a personal request from mr. morgenthau.
Dig down deep, to buy the bonds that buy the tanks,
Palmers for our fighting yanks, dig down deep.
Dig down deep to buy the bonds that keep us free, supply the sky, the land and sea,
Dig down deep. put your hand on your gismo, citizen, everybody must do his part,
It's the easiest piece that the citizen to show the world we finish what we start,
Dig down deep, the boys are giving all for you, so the least that you can do,
Is dig down deep.

Two in love can face the world together,
Hearts that cuddle up will muddle through,
The world may rock and rumble,
Crowds may groan and grumble,
Thrones may even tumble too,
Darling, two in love can face the stormy weather,
Laugh aloud at every cloud above,
And so we'll show them all what love can do,
For you and i are two in love.

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

The sky fell down when i met you,
The green of the countryside has turned to blue,
I had the moon right on my fingertips,
And when first we kissed, there were stars on your lips.
To be with you just made it seem
That walking on snowy clouds was not a dream,
You gave to me all this and heaven too,
When the sky fell down and i met you.

In the blue of evening when you appear close to me, dear one,
There in the dusk we'll share a dream reverie,
In the blue of evening while crickets call and stars are falling,
There 'neath the midnight sky you'll come to me.
In the shadows of the night we'll stand, i'll touch your hand.
And then, softly as your lovely eyes entreat, our lips will meet again.
In the blue of evening, night winds above whisper i love you,
There will we find romance in the blue of evening.

What is america to me
A name, a map, or a flag i see
A certain word, democracy
What is america to me

The house i live in
A plot of earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
Or the people that i meet

The children in the playground
The faces that i see
All races and religions
That's america to me

The place i work in
The worker by my side
The little town the city
Where my people lived and died

The howdy and the handshake
The air a feeling free
And the right to speak your mind out
That's america to me

The things i see about me
The big things and the small
That little corner newsstand
Or the house a mile tall

The wedding and the churchyard
The laughter and the tears
And the dream that's been a growing
For more than two hundred years

The town i live in
The street, the house, the room
The pavement of the city
Or the garden all in bloom

The church the school the clubhouse
The millions lights i see
But especially the people
- yes especially the people
That's america to me

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

You're lonely and i'm lonely,
So why can't we be lonely together?
The night is young and while it grows older
We can't forget crying on each other's shoulder.
The sky's cloudy 'cause we're lonely,
But soon we'll see a change in the weather,
Two lonely hearts beating as one,
Can be miserable and still have a lot of fun.

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be

The winds of march that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

The smile of turner and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you
