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.
My all time favourite song, been that way ever since release back in the late 80's. Have heard many attempts at it on tv here in the UK and nobody could even come near to Ann Wilson's power. Being a Brit, I'd not even heard of Carrie Underwood until reading these comments.
