The Lyrics for both songs are the exact same but the arrangement of the words are different because the style and structure and groove of the songs are different which and the emphasis in the lyrics is also different because each artist wanted to display a different feeling from the song. The melody of the song is the exact same in the aspects of following the same pattern but the tonal qualities are different because they are both played on different instruments and one is sang to a full on jazz band while the other is sang just to a Ukulele. The Melodic tones of the Frank Sinatra are fuller than the sounds of the Jason Mraz song because there is a larger sound backing up the sounds. The Musical Qualities of these songs are perfect for their own styles, The rhythm of the first song is very smooth and jazz like which causes a swing feeling and a smooth transitioning song. The second song is one that has more pop and spring to it which also allows for a good transition in the song but not as smooth as the first song. The Timbre for the songs are  completely opposing though, The first song had a great amount of timbre because of the overlaying sounds of the jazz band mixed with Frank Sinatra's singing and the overall intensity inside of the piece is much higher than the cover. In the Second song the timbre is much less because the only sound occurring is the Ukulele and Jason Mraz singing which also allows for a much lower intensity. The version of the song that I like better is the Frank Sinatra Version because it has much more feeling behind it and has overall a better sound behind it because the sound is fuller and the speed is perfect to emphasize certain lyrics inside of the song. Also the Jazz Groove of the song allows for me to be able to dance around whenever I hear the song playing which in my opinion means the song is better than other versions and covers of the song.
