Bonita

"Bonita" is a song Frank Sinatra recorded alongside Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1967 for their album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. The song, however, was to set aside for their second album Sinatra-Jobim. This second album was later put off shelves shortly after its release, and so the song was never really released publicly.

This rendition of the song was never released until Sinatra's Complete Reprise Studio Recordings box set in 1995.

Lyrics
What can I say to you, Bonita, what magic word would capture you Like a soft salacious mist you are, Bonita, you fly away when love is new What do you ask of me, Bonita, what part do you want me to play, Shall I be the clown for you, Bonita, I will be anything you say. Bonita, don't run away, Bonita. Bonita, don't be afraid to fall in love with me, I love you, I tell you, I love you, I love you, Bonita. If you love me, life would be beautiful, Bonita. I love you, I tell you, I love you, I love you. If you love me, life would be beautiful, Bonita.
