Sadly my dad died on Wednesday, The vicar asked us what song we want to play , we do know one but cannot think of the name.!

He loved Frank Sinatra and we believe it was by him, he had looked for it for ages and eventually did find it! but we cannot remember it.

We would love to play it for him so can anyone help?

It tells the story of the singers life..going throught different stages. Unfortunately that is all I know. Sorry for being so vague.

Thanks Alison

was it" when i was twenty one it was very good year"

Condolencies to you and your family Alison


If its the right one I think it is called...

"When I was Seventeen" and goes on with "I had a very good life"

I was going to suggest the same as Claire and Shirley.

Thankyou Shirley Claire, Linda. I don't know it by name but my sound. I will look for it and hopefully it be the right one.

Thankyou very much
Alison

Sorry for your loss Alison.

Could it have been ' My Way' ?


Marion

it starts when I was seventeen

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
Wed 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
Wed ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
Im 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
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years

So sorry to hear about your dad, I hope you find what you are looking for..

Just added to my post to try Frank Sinatra Lyrics. xxx

Marion - I dont think it was although we have thought about that. We would just like to find this song for him. He loved it and its sad we cannot think of it!

He never did mention the names. He just played them alot!!

My sincere condolences for your loss

Shirley

Dear Alison

regards
Bronwyn

We had 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra, for my fil, as this was him to a tee, He did everything his way.

Thankyou Bronwyn

It wasnt 'My Way' Although we have thought of that.

Thankyou Alison

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.

Marion

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

Try this Alison...

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

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"
