Favorite Frank Sinatra song

Frank Sinatra | Frank Sinatra

[FightThePower!]

The summer wind, came blowin in - from across the sea It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin by The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you And I lost you, to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter wind - have come and gone And still the days, those lonely days - go on and on And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end My fickle friend, the summer wind

[justshutupandtakeit]

Come Fly with me and Angel Eyes.

[cyborg]

HEH!

[HungarianGypsy]

My favorite is "Young at Heart". "Fairy tales can come true.

It can happen to you

If you're young at heart."

[supremedoctrine]

The movie YOUNG AT HEART with Frank and Doris Day (1954) is one of the very best Hollywood movies of the 1950s.
Frank is a depressive songwriter/piano player who comes to live with a cheery normal American family......oh,just see the movie. It is very underrated.

[Clemenza]

It would have to be a tie between "Everything Happens to Me" and "Summer Wind."

[Pharmboy]

Yep...my favorite also.

From the "Frank, WTF Were You Thinking?" Files:

and

"Moonlight in Vermont" duet with Linda Ronstadt (Great Nelson Riddle orchestration, but it couldn't put the lipstick on that pig)

From the "Frank, WTF Were You Thinking?" Files:

Mia was cute as hell.........couldn't sing too well at all, but I hear she could hum real well.

Ava Gardner was the one!

[beyond the sea]

The summer wind, came blowin in - from across the sea It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand Two sweethearts, and the summer wind Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin by The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you And I lost you, to the summer wind The autumn wind, and the winter wind - have come and gone And still the days, those lonely days - go on and on And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end My fickle friend, the summer wind

Lyrics from God

[beyond the sea]

"Cycles" always kills me:

****

So I'm down and so I'm out

But so are many others

So I feel like tryin' to hide

My head 'neath these covers

Life is like the seasons

After winter comes the spring

So I'll keep this smile awhile

And see what tomorrow brings

I've been told and I believe

That life is meant for livin'

And even when my chips are low

There's still some left for givin'

I've been many places

Maybe not as far as you

So I think I'll stay awhile

And see if some dreams come true

There isn't much that I have learned

Through all my foolish years

Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles

First there's laughter, then those tears

But I'll keep my head up high

Although I'm kinda tired

My gal just up and left last week

Friday I got fired

You know its almost funny

But things can't get worse than now

So I'll keep on tryin' to sing

But please, just don't ask me how
