Before The Music Ends - Frank Sinatra (法兰克·辛纳屈)

I reached the age of forty somewhat sooner than expected

Living at a fairly hectic pace

When I count the years that I have happily collected

The future shows its apprehensive face

(But now Francis what the hell do you do now Francis )

Quite a different song must be sung

When the singer is no longer young

Before the music ends before it fades away

There are several very necessary things I must do

Friends I must be again certain places where I must be again

Before the music ends I must go to Hoboken one more time

(pause)

I wanna run down that street where that thin Italian kid ran

Then slow down at the school

Where those nice old ladies tried to teach me

Unaware that I knew much more than they did

And stop at the poolroom for a beer

And sadly say to myself I don't know anybody here

(Francis don't go home again )

One thing I'd like to do before the music ends

Is to thank some wonderful life-long friends

I've never met but have known so well

From one Frank to another thank you for your dream

Your dream is now my own

And thank you Ludwig Van

For the flight of fancy you sent me on

Thank Mrs Verdi for Joe and a special thanks to Jackelo (Jackelo Jackelo)

All of you took turns in delivering sunrise a little sooner to my window

Before the music ends with company by Dino and Clark

I'd like to make one more charge at Baker's

You won't find me at that idiot wheel that spins and spins and spins

I won't play the slot machine the management always wins

Not for me the game where the jack is called black

And meet them dikes that stand back

(And you're actually down the line and a hundred on the drum)

(Is enough to make you shy load the truck with speaker's drum)

You won't hear me talk about saving new shoes baby's got 57 pairs

All I ask is Time just plain and simple Time

(just a little tiny boo just a little business free)

(time time time time time time time time time time) Time

(pause)

In years to come I may forget if I lost or if I won

But I'll always remember how much fun it was

(just concentrate on five and four just stick to six and three)

(pause)

And when the music ends I'd like it to end this way

I'll ask Chester to write me one more song

I'll get Lesty to make me one more chart

And I'll make one more record with the best musicians in the world

(Fanfare)

And when that cat with the sight comes tugging at my sleeve

I'll be singing (Sandra Sandra Sandra) as I leave (Sandra)
