Frank Sinatra Wedding Songs for Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Dance
Here are some Sinatra classics that can make any wedding unforgettable:
1. All Or Nothing At All
All or nothing at all
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I’d rather have nothing at all
2. All The Way
When somebody needs you
It’s no good unless she needs you
All the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all those in between years
Come what may
3. As Time Goes By
And when two lovers woo
They still say “I love you”
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
4. Cheek to Cheek
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you will carry me through to…
Heaven
I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find that happiness I seek
When we’re out together swinging cheek to cheek
5. Come Dance With Me
And while the rhythm swings
What lovely things I’ll be sayin’
‘Cause what is dancing
Making love set to music, playin’
6. Come Fly With Me
Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We’ll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there, I’ll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer ’cause we’re together
7. Fly Me To The Moon
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love you
8. It Had To Be You
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
9. I Get A Kick Out Of You
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
10. I’ve Got The World On A String
I’ve got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I’m in love
11. I’ve Got You Under My Skin
I’d sacrifice anything, come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
12. Love And Marriage
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell ya, brother, you can’t have one without the other
13. (Love Is) The Tender Trap
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
14. My Funny Valentine
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favourite work of art
15. Nice ‘n’ Easy
Hey baby, what’s your hurry?
Relax and don’t you worry
We’re gonna fall in love
16. Somethin’ Stupid
The time is right, your perfume fills my head,
The stars get red, and, oh, the night’s so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying somethin’ stupid like, “I love you”
17. Some Enchanted Evening
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room
And night after night, as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams
18. Strangers In The Night
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
19. Take Me
Take me, I’m yours if you’ll take me,
I want you to make me a part of your heart
And hold me, I dreamed you would hold me,
Now really enfold me, say we’ll never part
20. The Best Is Yet To Come
Come the day you’re mine
I’m gonna teach you to fly
We’ve only tasted the wine
We’re gonna drain the cup dry
21. The Girl From Ipanema
But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
22. The Way You Look Tonight
Some day, when I’m awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
23. Witchcraft
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It’s witchcraft
And I’ve got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
24. You Make Me Feel So Young
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung
And a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I’m old and gray
I’m gonna feel the way I do today
‘Cause you make me feel so young
25. Young At Heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart, or on it’s way
26. The Summer Wind
The summer wind, came blowin’ in – from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair – to walk with me
27. They Can’t Take That Away From Me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, they can’t take that away from me
28. It’s All Right With Me
It’s the wrong time, and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it’s the wrong face
It’s not her face, but such a charming face
That it’s all right with me
29. 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
30. That’s Life
That’s life (that’s life), that’s what all the people say
You’re riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I’m gonna change that tune
When I’m back on top, back on top in June
31. Night and Day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
32. Embraceable You
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
33. For Once in My Life
For once in my life I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it’s hurt me before, for once I have someone I know won’t desert me
I’m not alone anymore
34. Where or When
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can’t remember where or when
35. My Blue Heaven
When Whippoorwills call and evening is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven
A turn to the right, a little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven
36. Moonlight Serenade
I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night
37. Call Me Irresponsible
Call me irresponsible, yes I’m unreliable
But it’s undeniably true, I’m irresponsibly mad for you
38. You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me
If the nightingales could sing like you
They’d sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me
39. You Go To My Head
You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning ’round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
40. One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)
It’s quarter to three, there’s no one in the place
Except you and me
So set ’em up, Joe, I got a little story
You oughta know
41. The Nearness of You
It’s not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you
