Once I laughed when I heard you saying

That I'd be playing solitaire

Uneasy in my easy chair

It never entered my mind


And once you told me I was mistaken

That I'd awaken with the sun

And ordered orange juice for one

It never entered my mind

You had what I lack, myself

Now I even have to scratch my back myself


Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I'd say a lonely prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind


Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I'd say a lonely prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind

Reprise時代のシナトラについては別の機会にふれることにして,
ネルソン・リドルの繊細かつゴージャスな演奏を背景にして
何と俗っぽく歌う Capitol時代の彼か。


Columbia時代,シナトラは戦時の心のよりどころだった。

彼はラジオから,あるいは銃後の人々の前で
夢を語るようにあくまで優しく,
艶ややかな声で,清新に歌い続けた。

二百数十曲というレコーディングの数が彼の野心を示している,と言えば言えよう。
