In Remembrance of Frank Sinatra

These days his death is being commemorated...
This is our part in it....
For more information about him

For practising your English a little bit...

My way
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way...

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption,
I planned each charted course,
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way...

Yes, there were times,
I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off
More than I could chew
But through it all,
When there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way...

I've loved, I laughed and cried
I had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, Oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way...

Yes, it was my way...

And also a tribute to the incredible city of Nerw York...

New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news,
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it,
New York, New York...
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it,
New York, New York...

I wanna wake up in a city
That never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill,
Top of the heap...

My little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it,
In old New York...
If I can make it there,
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you,
New York, New York...

New York, New York...

I want to wake up in a city
That never sleeps
And find I'm A-number-one,
Top of the heap,
King of the hill,
A-number-one...

These little town blues
They are melting away
I'm gonna make
A brand new start of it
In old New York
A-a-a-nd if I can make it there,
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you,
New York, New York...
New York...

And my favorite one....

I've got you under my skin
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart
That you're really a part of me.

I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself:
This affair never will go so well.

But why should I try to resist
When, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything
Come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice
That comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:

"Don't you know, little fool,
You never can win?
Use your mentality,
Wake up to reality."

But each time that I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.

[ instrumental ]

I would sacrifice anything
Come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warnin' voice
That comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:

"Don't you know, little fool,
You never can win?
Why not use your mentality,
Step up, wake up to reality?"

But each time I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.
