Frank SINATRA - If You Go Away (Reprise® Recordings 1969)

Frank Sinatra
Reprise® Recordings
(J.Brel, R.McKuen)
[Recorded February 20, 1969, Hollywood]

If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away;
All the birds that flew in the summer sky,
When our love was new and our hearts were high;
When the day was young and the night was long,
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away,
if you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again;
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain,
We'll talk to the trees worship the wind.

Then if you go, I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away,
if you go away..

If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left, in the world to trust,
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
Like the empty look I see on your face.
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought it might have kept me by your side.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away,
Please don't go away..

SINATRA IS THE BEST NO ONE WILL EVER COME CLOSE.

[Thorneycroft1937]

Sometimes - specially when i hear this song by him - i like to think that he was the best male singer of all times.

Even better than legends like Elvis, Andy Williams, Tom Jones, etc.

This is what a legend is!

who can dislike this?

[SillyWillyFan47]

wow! Didn't know Frank covered this one too!

Love the desolation & credibility of his voice in his tender rendering here - nice!! ☆〜

[timmay301]

[Stevo15101960]

This is rather good...my mother was a big fan of Frank Sinatra...I'm not sure he was the best singer of his day, but he sure knew how to handle a song....a particular favourite of mine is 'Something Stupid'...
