Johnny Mathis Best Of Johnny Mathis[75-80]

1.Too Much, Too Little, Too Late

Written：Nat Kipner／John Mcintyre Vallins
Vocal：Johnny Mathis／Deniece Williams

JOHNNY：
Guess it's over, call it a day
Sorry that it had to end this way
No reason to pretend
We knew it had to end some day, this way

DENIECE：
Yes, it's over, the kids are gone
What's the use of tryin' to hang on？
Somewhere we lost the key
So little left for you and me and it's clear to see

BOTH： Too much, too little, too late to lie again with you
Too much, too little, too late to try again with you
We e in the middle of ending something that we knew

JOHNNY： It's over
DENIECE： Oh, it was over

BOTH： Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end

DENIECE; Ah, it's over
JOHNNY： It's over

DENIECE：
Yes, it's over, the chips are down (whoa)
Nearly all our bridges tumbled down
JOHNNY：
Whatever chance we try, let's face it widened-eye
It's over (It's over)
It's over ＜ DENIECE shrieks＞

BOTH： Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end

JOHNNY： And it's over
DENIECE： And it's over
JOHNNY： And it's over

FADE
BOTH： Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends


2.What I Did For Love


3.You Light Up My Life

Lyrics：Joe Brooks
Music：Joe Brooks

So many nights I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now you've come along

CHORUS
And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turnin' for home？
Finally a chance to say 'Hey, I love you'
Never again to be all alone

CHORUS

'cause you, you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'cause you？.you light up my life


4.Ninety-Nine Miles From L.A.


5.When A Child Is Born



A ray of hope, flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

The silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble toss and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You get the feel, you're on solid ground
Hm-for a spell or two no one seems for lorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happens because the world is waiting
Waitin' for one child, black, white, yellow, no one knows
But the child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's
Neighbour and misery and suffering will be worth to
Be forgotten - forever
It's all a dream an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon, some how
Hm- All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born






















































6.Just The Way You Are

Lyrics：Billy Joel
Music：Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.


7.With You I'm Born Again

Written：David Shire／Carol Connors

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again
