"(Love Is) The Tender Trap" is a popular song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn.[1]
It was written for the 1955 film The Tender Trap, where it was introduced by Debbie Reynolds and Frank Sinatra, who each sing the song separately.[1] It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" from the film of the same name.[1]
A version by Frank Sinatra became a major hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at no. 2 in February 1956.[2] It reached no. 7 in the US charts.[3]
