FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Oh! What It Seemed To Be

(B. Benjamin, G. D. Weiss, F. Carle)



[Recorded April 30, 1963, Los Angeles]



It was just a neighborhood dance

That's all that it was

But, oh, what it seemed to be

It was like a masquerade ball

With costumes and all

'Cause you were at the dance with me

It was just a ride on a train

That's all that it was

But, oh, what it seemed to be

It was like a trip to the stars

To Venus and Mars

'Cause you were on the train with me

And when I kissed you, darling

It was more than just a thrill for me

It was the promise, darling

Of the things that fate had willed for me

It was just a wedding in June

That's all that it was

But, oh, what it seemed to be

It was like a royal affair

With everyone there

'Cause you said "Yes, I do" to me
