Sinatra, Frank - When You Awake Lyrics
When you awake, the day takes a bow at your door,
When you awake, the sun shines like never before,
Cloud soaked with rain find it hard to explain to the earth below,
They can't let it rain for then it would stain a heavenly show, you make it so,
When you awake, you open the eyes of my heart,
All the winds and the birds join the simple refrain of a rippling stream,
My world becomes a midsummer night's dream, when you awake.

Sinatra, Frank When You Awake Comments
according to ava's book, Ava: My Story (pg 186), he sang this to her as they drove a jeep in africa while she suffered morning sickness. this was supposedly their 2nd child together that she aborted because of her career and their unsuitability as parents, not someone else's child.
I remember bumping across the Africa plain with him one day in a jeep, feeling sick as the devil. Right on the spot, for the first and only time in our relationship, Frank decided to sing to me. I know people must think that he did that sort thing all the time, but the man was a professional and the voice was saved for the right occasions. This must have been one of them, because he sang to me, oh so beautifully, that lovely song, ‘When You Awake.’ -Ava Gardner
According to James Kaplan's audiobook "Frank: The Voice" (which I highly recommend) he sang this to her in person, not over the phone, as they drove in Africa and she was deathly ill from an illegitimate pregnancy she was about to abort (having already aborted one of Frank's own children without telling him until much later). He obviously didn't know she was pregnant by another man as he sang to her. Sad & strange relationship.
Weak, sentimental lyric, and boring tune, unworthy of Frank. Disappointing he used it, especially to serenade a pregnant Ava over the phone. Even the great man (and I love him) can't lift this dead weight. "God bless you Nanicia, you didn't choose freedom.
