Sinatra, Frank - Good Thing Going Lyrics






It started out like a song, we started quiet and slow with no surprise,
Then one morning I woke to realize we have a good thing going.
It's not that nothing went wrong, some angry moment of course, but just a few,
And only moments no more because we knew we had a good thing going.
And if I wanted too much, was that such a mistake?
Half the time you never wanted enough, oh wake up, I don't make that a crime,
And while it's going along, you take for granted some love will wear away,
We took for granted a lot, and still I say, it could have kept on growing,
Instead of just kept on, we had a good thing going, going, gone.

[musical interlude]

And if I wanted too much, was that such a mistake?
Half the time you never wanted enough, oh wake up, I don't make that a crime,
And while it's going along, you take for granted some love will wear away,
We took for granted a lot, and still I say, it could have kept on going,
Instead of just kept on, we had a good thing going, going, gone.

    Better than My Way... one of his best top fifty ... still miss " ole blue eyes"... he gave out .. to some and most ... the good.. the bad .. and vulnerable and poor.. Bob Hope couldn't do Franks shoe laces up for genorsity!

    Il fatto è che ogni interpretazione di Sinatra rende ogni canzone unica, grazie alla sua profondità nel capirla ed adattarla al suo stile inconfondibile ed incomparabile.

    A great song! And a wonderful performance!

  16. L.... B....

    titre parmis mes préférés de THE VOICE..... mais il y en a beaucoups et pas forcément les plus connus.
    pensée pour cet homme magique qui à failli avoir 100 ans il y a quelques semaines mais est parti au ciel en 1998.
    ce document est de 81.

  17. R.... R....

    Thank you so much for posting this. It's one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite Sinatra records, and I'd been wondering if he ever performed it live. Sinatra + Sondheim = Sublime. :)

  18. D.... B....

    "Good Thing Going" is one of the most beautiful Broadway show songs written for Stephen Sondheim's marvelous show "Merrily We Roll Along". Frank Sinatra has had a profound impact on my life. He has literally saved my life through his music and spirit. I only wish that I had seen him more than once in concert, and yet I feel as though he is always around me. Thank you Frank for saving my life.

  19. s.... c....

    thank you very much, was always perplexed this did not become a hit. I had forgotten about this song from his early 80s album.

  20. N.... J....

    BEAUTIFUL!!!! Frank is The Man!!!!

  21. w.... ....

    From 1981's She Shot Me Down. Opening song, if I recall. Good one.
