I SEE IT NOW
Alec Wilder & William Engvick

Frank Sinatra


That year in Oakland High.....
when I was seventeen.....
the grass from there to San Jose was high and cool and green.....
I see it now.....

Too brash and young was I.....
to know what time could mean.....
the old acacia, long cut down, was felt but never seen.....
I see it now.....

That world I knew.....
is lost to me.....loves have come and gone.....

The years go racing by.....
I live as best I can.....
and all at once I know it means the making of a man.....
I see it now.....I see it now.....I see it now......
