he said, you never wrote me that song. i came back to new york, sitting up in my apartment 1:00 in the morning and i still cannot get my arms around the fact that sinatra is leaving. i started typing. i was a journalist back in canada, a cub reporter, and i said, what would frank do with this if he were writing it. met forricly, i started creating this song as if frank were writing it, and now the end is near, the final curtain, wrote it until 5:00 in the morning. and at the end of it i knew i had something that i wouldn t be afraid to give him. i did a demonstration record, flew out to vegas where he was at caesar s, played it to him. i knew by the reaction that he gave me he was going to do it. fade out, fade in. i m in new york two months later, the phone rings, mr. sinatra on the phone. he said, kid, listen to this. took the phone, put it up to the speaker, i heard my way for the first time. amazing.
