Albert Anka OC (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter,
and actor. Anka became famous during the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s with hit
songs like "Diana", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My
Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby". He wrote such
well-known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and
one of Tom Jones's biggest hits, "She's a Lady", as well as the
English lyrics for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way", which
has been covered by many including Elvis Presley. He was inducted into Canada's
Walk of Fame in 2005.
"You
Are My Destiny" is a song written and performed by Paul Anka. It was
recorded in September 1957 and released in late fall 1957 and reached number
seven on the US Billboard 100 early that year and number fourteen on the
R&B chart. The song was also released in the UK, where it reached number
six.
In
the same year, Dalida released a French version called "Tu m'étais
destinée". In 1959, the Argentine vocal group Los Cinco Latinos released a
Spanish version under the title "Tu eres mi destino".
For
the 2007 album Classic Songs, My Way, Anka re-recorded the song as a duet with Michael
Bublé.
In 2009, Greek artist Vassilikos
released his own cover of the song in his debut solo album "Vintage: Songs
I Wish I Had Written".
You
are my destiny
You
are what you are for me
You
are my happiness
That's
what you are
You
have my sweet caress
You
share my loneliness
You
are my dream come true
That's
what you are
Heaven
and Heaven alone
Can
take your love from me
'Cause
I'd be a fool
To
ever leave you dear
And
a fool I'd never be
You
are my destiny
You
share my reverie
You're
more than life to me
That's
what you are
You
are my destiny
You
share my reverie
You're
more than happiness
That's
what you are
