Frank SINATRA - The Tender Trap

Frank Sinatra
Capitol
Comp ; (J. Van Heusen, S. Cahn)


You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

at this tv special , sinatra asked gordon jenkins (the maestro) how is going to hit the last note.

jenkins told him "u r frank sinatra, who else can hit that note?"

Sinatra seems to have been in especially fine voice for this '69 special. He not only hit the high F near the end, like Sammy Cahn insisted he do for the definitive 1955 recording, he sustained it for several seconds at the very end.  Superb!

there is no doubt in my mind that the four people who dislike this vid from Master Sinatra are Justin Bieber fans. In a few short years Bum bieber will be forgotten.. while O'l blue eyes will still resonate throughout eternity...

all you need to transport yourself to Heaven is to have a good Scotch at hand preferably Jack Daniel's (Frank's favorite) and listen to any of this wonderful man for a while. He was so clear and so expressive that listening to one of his songs for 3 minutes was like watching a Classic movie in its entirety.

truly deserves the singer of the century title. Never will we be blessed again with such a talent.
