You'll Never Know
Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so

A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you

I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
(You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer)

If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how




You'll never know if you don't know now
You'll never know if you don't know now

You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now


You said good-bye, no stars in the sky refuse to shine
Take it from me, it's no fun to be alone
With moonlight and memories

I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

You'll never know if you don't know now

Nunca sabrás cuánto te extraño
Nunca sabrás cuánto me importa
Y si lo intentara, todavía no podría ocultar mi amor por ti
Deberías saber, porque no te lo he dicho A millones o más de veces?

Te fuiste y mi corazón se fue contigo
Digo tu nombre en cada oración
Si hay alguna otra manera de demostrar que te amo
Te juro que no sé cómo
Nunca lo sabrás si no lo sabes ahora

Dijiste adiós, ninguna estrella en el cielo se niega a brillar
Tómalo, no es divertido estar solo
Con la luz de la luna y los recuerdos

Pronuncio tu nombre en cada oración
Si hay alguna otra manera de probar que yo te amo
Te juro que no sé cómo
Nunca lo sabrás si no lo sabes ahora

I've always felt that Frank Sinatra was at his vocal peak in the 1940's, when he had such a pure and lilting voice.

Josh Shackelford

I love every era of his career, but a lot of his songs sound best in his first recording, "East of the Sun" and "Oh! Look At Me Now!" come to mind. Although, I will say I think he had some better compositions to work with later in his career, ergo Count Basie, Nelson Riddle, etc.

Jerry Donnelly

@LRN_News Yes, you could tell it was in the early forties, because even in the later forties his voice started to darken.

LRN_News

I'm pretty sure this recording is from 1943, or perhaps early 1944
