On the Sunny Side of the Street - Frank Sinatra

The atmosphere on the streets tonight Is the driving beat of the world The word down here on the streets tonight Is the truest music you've heard So take your share of the gifts that are there They all belong to you And come what may at the break of each day We all begin anew once more We all begin anew Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate The other side of life tonight The lovers and the fighters And the risks they take Are on the other side of life tonight Let's lose our way Go completely astray And find ourselves again You know the only way to get there Is to take that step To the other side of life tonight The atmosphere on the streets tonight Is the driving beat of the world The word down here on the streets tonight Is the truest music you've heard So take your share of the gifts that are there They all belong to you And come what may at the break of each day We all begin anew once more We all begin anew Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate The other side of life tonight The lovers and the fighters And the risks they take Are on the other side of life tonight Let's lose our way Go completely astray And find ourselves again You know the only way to get there Is to take that step To the other side of life tonight (Lead guitar solo) Let's lose our way Go completely astray And find ourselves again You know the only way to get there Is to take that step To the other side of life tonight

At the dark end of the street That's where we always meet Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me At the dark end Of the street You and me I know time is gonna take its toll We have to pay for the love we stole It's a sin, and we know it's wrong Oh, but our love keeps coming on strong Steal away To the dark end Of the street They're gonna find us They're gonna find us They're gonna find us, Lord, someday You and me At the dark end Of the street You and me And when the daylight hours roll 'round And by chance we're both downtown If we should meet, just walk on by Oh, darling, please, don't cry Tonight, we'll meet At the dark end Of the street

On your side of the bed, there's a picture of our wedding day A clock that don't work and a bible that your daddy gave It's on the window side, where the moon creeps in at night Staring at the ceiling, lying here all alone I said a prayer for you, then I said one of my own But you don't reach for me, when you lie down quietly Tell me how, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? On your side of the bed On your side of the bed there's a burnt down candle flame A letter I've started but I didn't know what to say Now I couldn't write it down, so I try to say it now Tell me how, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? On your side of the bed Aren't you even gonna make a sound? Your side of the bed Turn the other way when I turn the lights down Your side of the bed Are you lonely? Like I'm lonely? How, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? Tell me how, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? On your side of the bed On your side of the bed Are you still awake, on your side of the bed

The stories of the street are mine The Spanish voices laugh The Cadillacs go creeping down Through the night and the poison gas And I lean from my window sill In this old hotel I chose Yes, one hand on my suicide One hand on the rose I know you've heard it's over now And war must surely come The cities, they are broke in half And the middle men are gone But let me ask you one more time Oh, children of the dust All these hunters who are shrieking now Oh, do they speak for us? And where do all these highways go Now that we are free? Why are the armies marching still That were coming home to me? Oh, lady with your legs so fine Oh, stranger at your wheel You are locked into your suffering And your pleasures are the seal The age of lust is giving birth And both the parents ask The nurse to tell them fairy tales On both sides of the glass And now, the infant with his cord Is hauled in like a kite And one eye filled with blueprints One eye filled with night Oh, come with me, my little one We will find that farm And grow us grass and apples there And keep all the animals warm And if by chance I wake at night And I ask you who I am Oh, take me to the slaughter house I will wait there with the lamb With one hand on a hexagram And one hand on a girl I balance on a wishing well That all men call the world We are so small between the stars So large against the sky And lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye

Like a leaf Caught in the wind he drifted a while With no purpose or direction To his life He tried to get himself together And pacify his mind And forget about the things he'd left behind A cryin' woman He left standing at his door With a two month old baby in her arms His little black book he left torn up on the floor God only knows he never meant to do her wrong A careless weekend On the other side of town Has torn the king of Oak Street's Castle down And all week long he's tried to phone her But she won't let him explain Now Sunday morning Finds him walking in the rain He sits down In a phone booth and he prays That she'll forgive him And she'll believe he's changed his ways With shaking hands He deposits his last dime And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time Then the sweetest voice He's ever heard says hello "Breakfast's almost ready baby, come on home" I've thought the whole thing over And I think I understand That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man I've thought the whole thing over And I think I understand That the king of Oak Street Is just an ordinary man
