... Throughout the 1950s, Laine enjoyed a second career singing the title songs of Hollywood films and television shows, including: Gunfight At OK Corral, 3:10 To Yuma, Bullwhip, and Rawhide. His rendition of the title song for Mel Brooks' 1974 movie Blazing Saddles won an Oscar nomination for Best Song, and his recording of "Rawhide" for the television series of the same name has become a classic of the genre.
My Desire
Frankie Laine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And reminisce with you that's my desire.
To meet where gypsies play, down in that dim cafe,
And dance 'till break of day that's my desire.
We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine.
I'll feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine.
To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go,
The lyrics of Frankie Lane's song That's My Desire talk about a deep longing for a romantic encounter with a special someone. The singer expresses his desire to spend one night with the person he loves, in a place where gypsies play and where they can reminisce about their past. He wants to dance until the break of day with this person and sip wine with them, gazing into their eyes and feeling the touch of their lips. Before they leave, he wants to hear them whisper those three special words: "I love you."
The lyrics convey a sense of yearning and passion, as if the singer has been waiting a long time to be with this person. He describes the perfect setting for their encounter, down to the tiniest detail, and imagines how it would feel to finally be together. The song is a classic ballad that speaks to the universal human experience of longing for intimacy and connection with another person.
Line by Line Meaning
To spend one night with you in our old rendezvous,
I want to spend a night with you at our previous meeting place
And reminisce with you that's my desire.
And talk about the old memories we had together that's my wish.
To meet where gypsies play, down in that dim cafe,
I want to see you at the place where gypsies play, in a poorly lit cafe.
And dance 'till break of day that's my desire.
And we'll dance until the break of dawn, that's what I want to do.
We'll sip a little glass of wine, I'll gaze into your eyes divine.
We will drink a little wine, and I will look into your beautiful eyes.
I'll feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine.
I will feel your lips touching mine.
To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go,
And when it's time to go, I want to hear you whisper sweet nothings to me.
Cherie, I love you so, that's my desire.
My darling, I love you so much, that's what I desire above all.

Hey Mark,
Hope you're doing well. My real name is Bert by the way.. Who know's who saw the slap besides my mother, but I know the story was told many times. It happened back stage according to her. I can definitely see an Italian mother doing that back then, she was upset he didn't win, his Mom could have felt he disrespected her, who know's. One time my mother took my sister by the hair and pulled her down the street in front of all her friends just because she had eye makeup on, my sister was 16 at the time, now 69. That's just the way many of them were, very, very strict, and very prideful. I know, crazy!!
Now I'm going to have to ask my mother again, I'll see what she actually
remembers. By the way, her maiden name was Ventura, Mercedes Ventura. If you find anything out please let me know.
Thank so much for the email Mark, I really do apreciate it!!!
Bert

To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous
And reminisce with you
That's my desire
To meet where gypsies play
Down in some Dim Cafe
And dance till break of day
That's my desire
We'll sip a little glass of wine
I'll gaze into your eyes divine
I'll feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine
To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
"Cheri, I love you so"
"You're my desire"
To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
"Cheri, I love you so"
"You're my desire"
You're my desire

I was about 14 when one of my brothers brought home one of his LPs & I got 3 more later. I saw him perform in a small theater in Lathan, NY about 1975 & he was great.

@jojorenegade
My Dad was a nightclub entertainer in the 50s and 60s ... he was an "imitator" and Frankie Laine was his favorite. Listening to this is like listening to my Dad. I really miss him.
