Way back in 1981, Frank Sinatra recorded what turned out to be his final album for the record label he founded: Reprise Records.

The title of Sinatra's album was "She Shot Me Down" taken from Cher's hit "Bang Bang" written by Sonny Bono.

The LP was a thought-provoking set of torch songs focusing on loss and regret.
Two of my favourites became "Monday Morning Quarterback" because as everybody knows,
he would never make those same bad plays on Sunday again.

<<< But Then A Monday Morning Quarterback Never Lost A Game >>>

Then there's another song which reminds me of Caryn, the girl I knew before Julie.

<<< She Was Mozart / I Was Kingston Trio >>>

Things didn't work out because of our differences and yet => don't "opposites" attract?

Anyhow, this Frank Sinatra song, "I Loved Her" was written by his conductor & musical arranger, Gordon Jenkins:

She was Boston, I was Vegas
She was crepe suzette, I was pie
She was lectures, I was movies
But I loved her

She was Mozart, I was Basie
She was afternoon tea, I was saloon
She was Junior League, I was Dodgers
But I loved her morning, night and noon

She was polo, I was race track
She was museums, I was TV
She did her best to change me
Though she never knew quite how
But I loved her almost as much as I do now

She was Wall Street, I was pawn shop
She was French champagne, I was beer
She knew much more than I did
But there was one thing she didn't know
That I loved her
'Cause I never told her so
