Songtexte The Gal That Got Away / It Never Entered My Mind (Live At the Golden Nugget, Las Vegas/1987) - Frank Sinatra
Like to do a medley of two songs for you
The first song was written by, um, Harold Arlen and, uh
And who?
Ira Gershwin
I'm glad you're here, Lou
Otherwise I wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about
I thought it was Jilly Rizzo and, uh, and, uh, and Nifty
Thought they looked the same
Rodgers and Hart wrote this song, a lovely orchestration by Nelson Riddle
The first one is the Rodgers and Hart song
No, the Harold Arlen
Brought to life by the great Judy Garland, originally
The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
Winds get colder
Suddenly you're a lot older
And all because
Of the gal who got away
No more her eager call
The writing is on the wall
All those dreams you dreamed
Have all gone astray
Because the gal that won you
She's run off and undone you
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning
I don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game
No more that old time thrill
Because you have been put though the mill
And never a new love
Will ever be the same
This is Rodgers and Hart
Part of the medley
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order a orange juice for one
That never entered my mind
You have 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 lovers prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of hers you are on to
But fools will be fools
And where's she gone?
Where has she gone?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and it's tougher
With hope you burn up
Maybe tomorrow she'll turn up
There ain't no let up
You'll live long night and day
Ever since, ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A long lost loser
Lookin' for his gal who got away
Please come back
Won't you come back?
