Frank Sinatra渀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced until three
The way you changed my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

La manera en que llevas tu sombrero, la manera que bebes tu te.
El recuerdo de todo eso,no, no pueden tomar eso de mi.
La manera en que tu sonrisa resplandece, la manera que cantas desafinada, la manera en que rondas mis sueños, no, no pueden tomar eso de mi.
Quizás nunca, nunca nos veamos de nuevo en la abultada ruta al amor, aún así yo siempre, siempre guardaré el recuerdo de... la manera que sostienes tu cuchillo, la manera que bailamos hasta las 3, la forma en que cambiaste mi vida, no, no pueden tomar eso de mi, no, no pueden tomar eso de mi.

This is the last song my uncle listened to the night he passed away. I looked through his web history and this was the last result just few hours a stroke took him away from us forever. Now I'm crying listening to the lyrics of this song. Nothing can take away the memories he made with us. the way he smiled, he talked, his kindness... nothing. The way he used to read me stories when I was a kid... He went through so much it's just not fair he met his end this way. I will continue to make you live through the music you loved so much. We will never forget you. We love you so much. Stay bright up there.
