Your Sunday Sinatra: ?Moonlight in Vermont? ? Frank Sinatra, John ...

?Pennies in a stream??Falling leaves a sycamore??Moonlight in Vermont?

Though you may not notice it, the lyrics to the ?Moonlight in Vermont? do not rhyme. And excluding the bridge, the rest of the song is composed of haiku, the verses consisting of 17 syllables in phrases of 5, 7 and 5, respectively.

The song was originally recorded in 1944 by Margaret Whiting though it has been covered numerous times over the years by the likes of Rosemary Clooney, Jo Stafford, The Dorsey Brothers, Nat King Cole, Charlie Byrd, Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, Johnny Mathis, and Willie Nelson, whose version off the 1978 album Stardust is probably my second favorite after Sinatra?s. You also may remember it as the number Diane Keaton and Sam Shepard sway to during the town dance scene in 1987?s Baby Boom.

Sinatra?s version of the serenade to the natural beauty of our fourteenth state follows below, from the album Come Fly With Me (1958)
