Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What more can I say?
From the bottom of my heart I need you
You're part of my day

My inspiration is you alone
To call my own
I love you, I love you
From the bottom of my heart I want you
It's you I adore
Ev'ry moment we're apart I miss you
And, darling, what's more

I'd be on my way to heaven
If you'd say "I love you from the bottom of my heart"

From the bottom of my heart I want you
It's you I adore
Ev'ry moment we're apart how I miss you
And, darling, what's more





I'd be on my way to heaven
If you'd say "I love you from the bottom of my heart"

This is a priceless and rare find. Whatever the rumors or facts about his personal life, Sinatra's subtlety, style, voice and overall musical genius were unsurpassed by any other popular male vocalist of his generation. Thanks for sharing!

Jeff, I am sure you've heard the story of Frank meeting the Pope. Well, Frank's unofficial biography relates that at the meeting the exchange went something like this: His Holiness: You look very familiar, son. FS: Thank you, your Holiness, I am an actor and a singer as well. In fact, I began my career in show business as a singer. His Holiness: Oh, that's nice. Are you a tenor? FS: No, Father, I am a baritone. His Holiness: A baritone? Are you Mr. Bing Crosby?

Mark Thompson

I'm lucky enough to have a 78 copy of this, but its an English Columbia pressing, so not quite a first-edition gem. Nonetheless, I was chuffed to bits finding it!

Gina Sue Macconi

May I have it in your will please?

Nice baritone with a clean, sweet head voice, and crystal-clear diction (as always)! A pity he didn't use that head voice more, like Billy Eckstine did his. But then, it's Frank Sinatra, so to paraphrase Simon Cowell, I might as well criticize him for not wearing a tie clip.
