Perfectly Frank

Frankly, he was a man
Though not very tall,
His voice made him seem
Very big to us all ...

He could be an actor
He could even dance,
With a photogenic smile
And a dapper stance

Gentle and sweet
Known for his eyes,
Donning a fedora 
With suits and ties

He was generous ...
If you needed something, 
Gave you his all ...
Even when he'd sing

The lonesome road
Didn't always go his way,
With twists and turns
That's life, he'd say ...
