Something Stupid (Frank Sinatra & Nancy Sinatra - with Lyrics)

I like both the lyrics and the melody of this song.

In my memory the melody has been reused in many old-day "magic" shows. I just cannot remember which shows they were.

In this video, I believe the male voice is Frank Sinatra, and the female voice is his daughter, Nancy Sinatra.
More information about this song is on Wikipedia.

Lyric Source: Somethin' Stupid Lyrics - Frank Sinatra
Songwriters: HART, LORENZ / RODGERS, RICHARD

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lies you heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with you
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 something stupid like "I love you"

[instrumental]

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 sayin' something stupid like "I love you"

I love you
I love you
I love you

[Fade]
I love you
