Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra
Was Frank Sinatra a better actor or singer? Now what kind of a trick question is that! He excelled in both. He acted in some fine movies alongside fine actors like Cary Grant, Marlon Brando, Dean Martin, and Steve McQueen. I'll always remember one of America's most popular crooners for his performance in From Here to Eternity with Burt Lancaster and On the Town with Gene Kelly.
But this post is not about Sinatra's films; it's about his songs, in particular Strangers in the Night, the title song from his 1966 album Strangers in the Night. Since then no one has sung this song as well as Sinatra. It's a beautiful love song and it makes your day...
Strangers in the night, exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances, we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes, was so inviting
Something in your smile, was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know

Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
And
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night.

Do dody doby do
A warm embracing dance away

I LOVE Frank. No one sang a song like he could. But my husband doesn't see it at all.
ReplyDeleteSinatra's other solo hits I like are "Somethin' Stupid" (with daughter Nancy Sinatra), "Fly Me to the Moon", and "The Way You Look Tonight".
