Frankie Sinatra's Songs Collection + + + Introduction: Frankie, the song is you I hear music and when I look at you, the beautiful theme of every dream I ever knew. Down deep in my heart, I hear it play. I feel it start then melt away. I hear music when I touch your hand, a beautiful melody from some enchanted land. Down deep in my heart, I hear it say, is it today? I alone have heard this lovely strain. I alone have heard this glad refrain. Must it be forever inside of me? Why can't I let it go?

So the idea of collecting all these various writings hit me. I myself cannot come up with enough material. I decided to offer my...
