Johnny's Greatest Hits

Johnny Mathis Johnny's Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Chances Are

Lyrics:Al Stillman
Music:Robert Allen

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you

Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

BRIDGE
In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, 'Hold me close, dear'
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my
eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my
eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

The chances are your chances are awfully good


2.All the Time

Lyrics:Jay Livingston/Ray Evans
Music:Jay Livingston/Ray Evans

I want you with me all the time
Sunrise and sunset and all the time
Your are the one love I am living for
Had we just begun love could I love you more

Warm as the May wine, wild as the sea
These are the feelings you waken in me
I've had my moments and a dream or two
But I needed someone all the time
And all the time it was you


Warm as the May wine, wild as the sea
These are the feelings you waken in me
I've had my moments and a dream or two
But I needed someone all the time
And all the time it was you


3.The Twelfth Of Never

Written:Paul Francis Webster/Jerry Livingston

You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time

Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time


4.When Sunny Gets Blue

Lyrics:Jack Segal
Music:Marvin Fisher

When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, love is gone so what can matter?
No sweet lovin' man comes to call

When Sunny gets blue, she breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' like some violins are
playin'
Weird and haunting melodies

People used to love to-o-o hear her laugh, see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair she's lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she's not the same

But mem'ries will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue


5.When I Am With You

Written:Al Stillman/Benjamin Weisman

When I am with you any dream that I may dream comes true
Any star in the sky I can buy with a sigh when I am with you
Whenever we meet, whatever the sweet occasion
Where angels won go, I go with no persuasion.

When I am with you I am nothing I was before
I am everything I ever wished I could be and more
So it not just for what you are yourself that I love you as I do
But for what I am when I am with you.


So it not just for what you are yourself that I love you as I do
But for what I am when I am with you.


6.Wonderful! Wonderful!

Lyrics:Ben Raleigh
Music:Sherman Edwards

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

The world is full of wond'rous things it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet ev'ning I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
'It's wonderful, wonderful'
'Oh, so wonderful, my love'

And I say to myself
'It's wonderful, wonderful'
'Oh, so wonderful, my love'


7.It's Not For Me To Say

Lyrics:Al Stillman
Music:Robert Allen

It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last

As far as I can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say


8.Come To Me

Lyrics:Peter Lind Hayes
Music:Robert Allen

Come to me now that I have found you
Come to me, wrap my love around you
Look in my eyes, hear what they say
Don't run away
Stay, stay, stay

I'm on fire, let your lips caress me
My desire is that you possess me
Don't be afraid for love to come to you
My lover, come to me
Lover, come to me
Come to me


Don't be afraid for love to come to you
My lover, come to me
Lover, come to me
Come to me


9.Wild Is the Wind

Written:Dimitri Tiomkin/Ned Washington

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me, and with your kiss the world begins
You're Spring to me, all things to me
You're life itself

Like a leaf clings to a tree
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind, the wind
Wild is my love for you


10.Warm and Tender

Lyrics:Hal David/Burt Bacharach
Music:Hal David/Burt Bacharach

Make me yours, make me yours, make me yours

When my lips are touching yours, my love
Heaven opens up its doors, my love
Warm and tender soul, warm and tender love
Lips that you grant me just seem to enchant me
We kiss and I know I've been kissed

When I'm lost in your embrace, my love
It's like flyin' into space, my love
Warm and tender soul, warm and tender your
Arms hold me tightly, they thrill and excite me
And I'd be a fool to resist you

The moment you're near my life can start
When we're apart, my life is through
Each single tingle deep down in my heart
Just beats for you, beats for you, beats for you!

With each yearning burning in my soul
Loving only you will be my goal
Warm and tender in sweet surrender I
Offer my lips and I offer my arms and I
Offer my heart that implores
Won't you make me yours?

Make me yours
Make me yours


11.No Love(But Your Love)

Lyrics:Billy Myles
Music:Billy Myles

No love but your love can set my world on fire
No love but your love can fill me with desire

No love but your love can shape my destiny
No love but your love can make a slave of me

No arms but your arms can banish all my fears
No charms but your charms could last a thousand years

No love but your love will ever thrill me so
No love but your love will my heart ever know


No love but your love will my heart ever know

No love


12.I Look At You

Written:Johnny Mathis/Jessie Mae Robinson

I look at you and I say to myself
'What more could I want if I had you?'
But I wouldn't dare to speak it out loud
I stand and I stare, my head in a cloud

I look at you and I say to my heart
'What chance would I have, why let the fire start?'
I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you


I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you
