Eagerly I wished the morrow; -- vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow -- sorrow for the lost Lenore -- For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore -- Nameless here for evermore.
My Way by Frank Sinatra. This originated as the French song called Comme D'Habitude (translation: As Usual), written by the composers Jacques Revaux and Gilles Thibault. They took it to the French pop star Claude Francois, who tweaked it a bit (earning a co-writer credit) and recorded the song in 1967, where it was a hit in parts of Europe.
Written by Paul Anka, based on the music of French song âComme dâhabitudeâ, Frank Sinatra recorded the song âMy Wayâ on 30Th of December, 1968. My Way was not a worldwide hit when it first came out, but as Frank Sinatra got older, and as Sinatraâs fans got older, My Way became much more important.y Way can be considered as the most popular song of Frank Sinatra, just like Strangers In The Night can be. My Way is actually an English version of the French song âComme dâhabitudeâ, the French and English lyrics are not related to each other though.
