Frank Sinatra
Reprise Recordings
[The Frank Sinatra Collection]
Watertown 1969
(B.Guadio, J.Holmes)
[Recorded August 27, 1969, New York]
There is no great big ending, no sunset in the sky
There is no string ensemble, and she doesn't even cry
And just as I begin to say that we should make another try
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
There is no big explosion, no tempest in the tea
The world does not stop turning round, there's no big tragedy
Sitting in a coffee shop with cheesecake and some apple pie
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye, said so easily, Good-bye, said so quietly
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, just two always strangers avoid each other's eyes
One still make believing, one still telling lies, she tells me that I'm not to blame
But when I ask the reason why
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye, said so easily. Good-bye, said so quietly
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Russia is listening to u, Frank

How in the world can anyone dislike this song?!! The lyrics are stunning! They have meaning, they tell a story and they are also carefully written . . . . unlike the lyrics that are being written in today's songs. I can picture Sinatra and the woman (whose name is Elizabeth which we find out on the album). I can picture the delicious cheesecake and apple pie sitting on the table. I can picture the scene when she leaves Sinatra and his face as she says these parting words to him . . . "Goodbye".
