It Had To Be You

Jazz is one genre which I have yet to explore thoroughly, although the tunes I like range from fast jazz like Chicago's (the musical, not the band) "All That Jazz" to slow jazz like those from Nat King Cole.

The reason I like jazz is because the songs and tunes are rather catchy, and a lot of them have touching lyrics which tell a story, which is so rare in modern songs nowadays. Anyway, I came across this song entitled "It Had To Be You" by old blue eyes himself.

This song has been remade many times over, as the original version came out around the late 1910s or something, but the tune and lyrics have never really swayed much from the original version. So while listening to it, I started swaying to the music. Jazz is one genre of music that can go right to your core, and you just start swaying and moving away to the tune!

It Had To Be You ~ Frank Sinatra

Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget

It must have been,
That something lovers call fate
Kept me saying, "I have to wait"
I saw them all,
Just couldn't fall till we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true,
And could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others I've seen,
Might never be mean
Might never be cross,
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I
Love you still

It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
