Thinking of you and your family at this time

Sorry to hear of your loss. It's not an easy time and we found a month ago with mum that it was the music that was the hardest part of the arrangements.

Take care,
Jacky

Alison

Very sorry to hear your news, sending you my deepest sympathies.

Have you tried on here

wikipedia.org

has a list of songs that Frank recorded from 1939 -1994 (long list though) but hopefully it is there.

Good Luck!

Hi Alison

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, at my dad's funeral we played "That's Life" at the end of the service which was quite apt as it's about a journey through life. I've just been listening to it again on youtube and it's brought tears to my eyes.

Sarah

I think they have the one Alison, and I hope your dad hears it.
I'm sorry for you loss, bless you all.

Thankyou I will listen to them now.

Hopefully your suggestions will be correct!

Alison

Sorry to hear about your dad. My condolences.

On you tube: September of my years

Thankyou Bob.

I will get that one to and let my mum listen to them,

Alison

So sorry to hear of your loss Alison.....
my condolences to you all,

was it this one?

September of my years?

One day you turn around, and it's summer
Next day you turn around, and it's fall
And all the winters and the springs of a lifetime
Whatever happened to them all
As a man, who as always had the wandering ways
I keep looking back to yesterdays
'Til a long forgotten love appears
And I find, I'm sighing softly as I near
September, the warm September of my years
As I man, who has never pauses at wishing wells
Now I'm watching children's carousels
And their laughter's music to my ears
And I find, that I'm smiling gently as I near
September, the warm September of my years
- The golden warm September of my years

Bob

That was nice Maggy.

Well I looked to see what was number one when they were married it was - Hermans Hermits - Im into something good. Which is a bit upbeat for the occasion but we are looking for something that has some meaning like your Mum did.

Alison

Sorry to hear about your dad Alison. I lost my dad in April so know what you are going through. We couldn't make our minds up what song to have at dad's funeral, so eventually mum decided have one of the hymns from their wedding service.

Maggy

Haha Claire. I can join you today with that! My head seems to be in the shed!

I am that daft today that I was about to suggest I sing it to you DOH


Clairexxxxxxxxx ( who has lost the plot)

Alison type it into you tube to make sure its the right one.

Thankyou Claire. I will have to listen to it. Although that does sound right.

Alison

My condolances to you and your family.

You could go on youtube and type in Frank Sinatra and listen to his songs on there to see if you recognise it.

Although I think it was "It was a very good year"

Try this Alison...

Complimentary "It Was a Very Good Year" Ringtone


When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days are short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years

Thankyou Marion.

We are sure we will find the perfect one, but this one we would have liked.

Im sure he would like anyone we choose as you say,

Thankyou

If you dont find the exact one Alison, I'm sure he would be happy at whatever you choose for him.

You could maybe put up a thread for Frank Sinatra fans. I'm sure somebody will know all the song's.
That's if the others on here havent found it for you.

I had Scottish ones at my Dad's in April and I could hear him sing to them ;)) I'm sure he would have loved what we had chosen.
