Escrita por
C. Carson Parks, e foi originalmente gravada por ele e sua esposa
Gaile Foote. A nossa escolha no entanto é pela versão que ficou
mais conhecida, que é a de Frank Sinatra com a filha dele Nancy
Sinatra, lançada em março de 1967 no compacto que tinha I will wait
for you como Lado B. A versão dos Sinatra chegou ao número 1 dos
charts pop americanos e britânicos. Robbie Williams e Nicole Kidman
gravaram uma versão em 2001, que chegaria ao número 1 dos charts
britânicos.
Frank tocou
o disco de Park para o produtor da sua filha Nancy. Frank perguntou
se ele havia gostado. O produtor respondeu, que havia gostado muito e
se Frank não a gravasse com Nancy, ele mesmo iria. Eles gravaram-a
em 1 de fevereiro de 1967. Al Casey tocou guitarra e Hal Blaine
bateria,
A letra:
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
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
