I am also a big fan of Hal David´s lyrics. In fact I find it very difficult to pick out any specific line as they are all more or less great ! So why not take this line from The Look Of Love: "The look of love is in your eyes a look your smile can´t disguise" http://app.box.com/s/7x0q43sfey2gn60sziyvCheers Dani

Now there's a blast from the past. I can remember as a kid hearing that song on the am radio of my folks' Pontiac.

Hi, guys !
Funny, but I never thought that those lines were ment for a father to sing with his daughter ? I doubt that it was the intention of the lyricists either ?

Perhaps we shouldn't be trying to read try to read too, too much into lyrics of a song eh?
Let's not get upset about what I'm sure the composer never, ever, ever intended.
Perhaps Frank was thinking about his wife, and Nancy was thinking about her boyfriend. Ain't that possible? No?
I've listened to that tune innocently for all those years, and now in one sentence you've gone and wrecked it on me. Damn!
Dani, you're on the right track.

“Something Stupid” was written by C. Carson Parks and he sang it with his wife Gaile Foote:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somethin%27_Stupid
Frank and Nancy’s version is the most popular and I doubt very very much that they sang it to each other.
PS -I'm still going to enjoy the song!

Some of my favorites:
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down If I could only find a voice I would speak
He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
I'll be there for you These 5 words I say to you When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
Saying goodbye is never an easy thing But you never said you'd stay forever
Don't wanna close my eyes Don't wanna go to sleep Cuz I'd miss you baby And I don't wanna miss a thing
(Yes, I love Diane Warren's writing)

From the musical Guys and Dolls with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser "More I Cannot Wish You" But More I Cannot Wish You Than to wish you find your love Your own true love this day With a sheep's eye And a lickerish tooth And a strong arms To carry you away. I love this tune and those wonderful lines especially as sung by the Singers Unlimited: http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=140630Cheers Dani

Reminds me of THAT'S LIFE:
That's life, that's what the people say Ridin' high in April, shot down in May But I don't let it, let it get me down Cause this old world, she keeps spinnin' round
Sung beautifully by Old Blue Eyes, or if you prefer, "The chairman of the board"

Sting is a genius.
Now she is gone, leavin' me too soon I'm as dark as December, I'm as cold as the man in the moon
That's from MERCURY FALLING. If you haven't heard it (song and the album) you should give it a listen. Awesome!!

How about A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME
I don't remember the exact lyrics but something like:
A chair is still a chair, even when no one's sitting there But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home when you're not there
That's the sentiment and logical/emotional flow anyway. Love it!!

She's no doubt brilliant. Diane Warren frequently occupies the small intersection of the sets "good songs" and "popular songs". UNBREAK MY HEART is great, as is IF YOU ASKED ME TO (simple but beautiful sentiment--"all you have to do is ask me too")
