Vol. 2 - Popular Frank Sinatra

This love of mine goes on and on,
Tho' life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, tho' out of sight
It's lonesome thru the day,
But oh! the night.

I cry my heart out it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
The stars that shine,
What's to become of it, this love of mine.

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 starlit 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.

Be careful, it's my heart,
It's not my watch you're holding, it's my heart.
It's not the note that i sent you that you quickly burn,
It's not a book i lent you that you never return.
Remember, it's my heart.
The heart with which so willingly i part
It's yours to take, to keep or break,
But please, before you start,
Be careful, it's my heart.

Take me, i'm yours if you'll take me, i want you to make me a part of your heart.
And hold me, i dreamed you would hold me, now really enfold me, say we'll never part.
All the love i have to give, i want to give to you,
And as long as i shall live, i'll only live for you,
Take me, and never forsake me,
My darling, please take me and make your own, and make me your own.

Let's take a boat to bermuda
Let's take a plane to saint paul.
Let's take a kayak to quincy or nyack,
Let's get away from it all.

Let's take a trip in a trailer
No need to come back at all.
Let's take a powder to boston for chowder,
Let's get away from it all.

We'll travel 'round from town to town,
We'll visit ev'ry state.
I'll repeat, "i love you sweet!"
In all the forty-eight.

Let's go again to niag'ra
This time we'll look at the fall.
Let's leave our hut, dear,
Get out of our rut, dear,
Let's get away from it all.

Daybreak, another new day,
The mist on the meadow is drifting away,
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now,
And flowers break through their blanket of dew,
Sunrise, how lovely it seems
To see from my window a sky full of dreams,
As the white clouds sail on through the blue,
At daybreak i did dream of you.

I like new york in june, how about you?
I like a gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.
How about you?

I like potato chips, moonlight motor trips, how about you?

I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And james durante's looks give me a thrill

Holding hands in the movie show, when all the lights are low
May not be new, but i like it, how about you?

<instrumental strings intro>

I'll wake each morning and i'll promise to laugh
I'll say "good morning" to your old photograph
Then i'll speak to you, dear, just as though you were here

When purple shadows start to welcome the dark
I'll take the same old stroll we took through the park
And i'll cling to you, dear, just as though you were here

But i know so well that distance and time will finally tear us apart
The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts in my heart

Each night before i wander off into sleep
I'll bring to light the tears i've buried so deep
Then i'll kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here

<instrumental break-horns, harp, and strings>

And when i hear a lonesome train, i'm afraid
I'll think of all those trips we never quite made
Fragile dreams that we planned
Then i'll reach for your hand
Just as though, just as though you were here

I guess i'll to dream the rest
If you can't remember the things that you said
The night that my shoulder held your sleepy head
If you believe that parting's best,
I guess i'll have to dream the rest.
I guess i'll have to dream alone
Of honeymoon cruises once dear to my heart,
Of one room apartments that we said we'd start
Of foolish things we planned to own,
I guess i'll have to dream alone.
I can see that your heart has gone astray,
As for me, i love you the same old way.
I guess i'll have to dream the rest,
There'll be no friends waiting to throw shoes and rice
Those heavenly moments will never come twice
I'm thankful for the hours you've blessed,
I guess i'll have to dream the rest.

It started all over again
The moment i looked in your eyes
It started all over again
The thrill we can never disguise

The day that we parted, so broken hearted
Will never return again
Dreams i've delayed, promises made
Are starting anew, just for you

It started all over again
The moment i held you so tight
It started all over again
When we kissed away the night - till dawn's early light

Now were together, sweethearts forever
We'll build our romance anew
It started all over again
The moment i looked at you

Light a candle in the chapel at the closing of each day,
Keep it burning while you're yearning, for the one who went away.
Say a pray'r and ask the angel to guide and to watch from above
Light a candle in the chapel for the one you love.
