Frank Sinatra - If I Should Lose You (Reprise 84)

Frank Sinatra
Reprise Recordings
(L.Robin, R.Rainger)
[Recorded April 17, 1984, New York]



If I should lose you,
the stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you,
leaves would wither and die
The birds in May-time - they'd sing a mournful refrain
And I would wander around - hating the sound of rain

With you beside me,
the rose would bloom in the snow
With you beside me,
no winds of winter would blow
I gave you my love
and I was living a dream
But living would seem - in vain if I

If I ever lost you


(Full Orch. Int.)


The birds in May-time - they'd sing a mournful refrain
And I would wander around - hating the sound of rain,

(Full Orch. Int.)

I gave you my love
and I was living a dream
But living would seem - in vain if I

Hating the rain - if I
All is in vain if I
If I ever lost you..

This was arranged by Sammy Nestico, Quincy Jones hired out all but one chart for that album, the somewhat embarrasing (today) Disco-esqe "LA is my lady" other charts were written by Frank Foster, Torre Zito and Joe Parnello. It's too bad that Qunicy does not write many charts since he became more of an executive, but hey--that pays much better!

this is from Frank's LA is my Lady album. It was his last solo studio album. It was arranged and produced by Quincy Jones.

hard to believe that Frank was almost 70 when he recorded this tune. still swinging to the end.
