Johnny Mathis More Johnny's Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Small World

Lyrics:Stephen Sondheim
Music:Jule Styne

Funny, you're a stranger who's come here
Come from another town
Funny, I'm a stranger myself here
Small world, isn't it?

Funny, you're a girl who goes trav'lin'
Rather than settlin' down
Funny, 'cause I'd love to go trav'lin'
Small world, isn't it?

We have so much in common it's a phenomenon
We could pool our resources by joining forces from now on

Lucky, you're a girl who likes children
That's an important sign
Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children
Small world, isn't it?

Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine

Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children
Small world, isn't it?

Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine


2.Someone

Lyrics:William J.Tennyson/Jr
Music:William J.Tennyson/Jr

Someone really loves you guess who?
Someone really needs you guess why?
Someone wants to kiss you and hold you tight
Someone wants to love you each and every night.

Someone wants to say 'Hello'
I know he'll never let you go
When he looks into your eyes I know that you will realize
And guess just who that someone must be
I know you'll know that someone i-i-is me


Someone wants to kiss you and hold you tight
Someone wants to love you each and every night.

Someone wants to say 'He-e-e-ello'
I know he'll never let you go
When he looks into your eyes
When he looks into your eyes I know that you will realize
And guess just who that someone must be
I know you'll know that someone
I know you'll know that someone i-i-is me


3.Very Much In Love

Written:Al Stillman/Raymond S.Ellis

Oh, I was young and starry-eyed and very much in love
So very much in love with you
And I was shy in many ways and very much in love
And nothing but your love would do

For you were sweet and wonderful to set my heart aglow
Oh, that was long ago when life was new
Now I'm not so young or starry-eyed, I know a thing or two
I'm know I'm very much in love with you


Now I'm not so young or starry-eyed, I know a thing or two
I'm know I'm very much in love with you


4.You Are Everything To Me

Lyrics:Carl Sigman/Percy Faith
Music:Carl Sigman/Percy Faith

Everywhere you go, that's where I simply have to be
For you are everything to me
Everything you touch at once is sacred, divine
Can I hold you? Be mine

Kiss me and I'm strong enough to turn the strongest tide
Just sigh and I go wild inside
I'll be everything you ever want me to be
For, my darling, you are everything to me


I'll be everything you ever want me to be
Oh, darling, you are everything to-oo me


5.Let It Rain

Lyrics:Sid Wayne/Al Frisch
Music:Sid Wayne/Al Frisch

Let it rain, let it pour
I just don't care anymore
Skies are gray from day to day
Since you've gone away

Hours come, hours go
Time seems to move so slow
All I do is dream of you
All the long night through

'Pitter patter' go the raindrops on my window pane
They fall with ev'ry tear
Through the trees I hear the breeze still echoing your name
For, in my imagination, you're still here

See the clouds high above
Dark is my world without love
Till you're mine the sun won't shine
So, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain


6.The Flame Of Love

Lyrics:Lee Pockriss/Paul Vance
Music:Lee Pockriss/Paul Vance

The flame of love is burning low
And soon the flame will die
And then, my love, the time will come
To kiss and say 'Goodbye'

The flame burned bright and oh, so fast
It never had a chance to last

But let there be no tears for us
Let's keep the mem'ry of
The warm excitement when we met
And lit the flame of love

The flame burned bright and oh, so fast
It never had a chance to last

But let there be no tears for us
Let's keep the mem'ry of
The warm excitement when we met
And lit the flame of love

The flame of love the flame of love


7.A Certain Smile

Lyrics:Paul Francis Webster
Music:Sammy Fain

A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase
A fleeting glance can say so many lovely things
Suddenly you know why my heart sings

You love awhile and when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again

But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again


8.Call Me

Written:Clyde Otis/Belford C.Hendricks

Call me if your arms are lonely
Call me if you're feeling blue
If you don't believe me, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll come to you

Call me if your dreams should tumble
I will help you start anew
If you don't believe me, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll run to you

Call me if things look hopeless and gray
I'll come and change the view
Call me when Spring seems farthest away
I'll change the season for you

Call and say you want me near you
I'll be there before you're through
If you don't believe, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll fly to you

Call and say you want me near you
I'll be there before you're through
If you don't believe, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll fly to you


9.You Are Beautiful

Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rogers

You are beautiful, small, and shy
You are the girl whose eyes met mine just as your boat sailed by
This I know of you, nothing more
You are the girl whose eyes met mine passing the river shore

You are the girl whose laugh I heard
Silver and soft and bright
Soft as the fall of lotus leaves
Brushing the air of night

While your flower boat sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
'You are the girl I will love some day'


While your flower boat sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
'You are the girl I will love some day


10.Teacher,Teacher

Lyrics:Al Stillman
Music:Robert Allen

Teacher, teacher
There's so much I'm longin' to know
'cause my heart has been all aglow
From the moment we met
Teacher, make me, make me
Make me the teacher's pet

Teacher, teacher
Educate me with a caress
Teach me nothin' less than a lesson
I'll never forget
Teacher, make me, make me
Make me the teacher's pet

I read more in your lovin' eyes
Than in any book from the shelf
I don't have to tell you
You're in a class by yourself

Kiss me, kiss me
After that, please kiss me again
Show me all that special attention
You'll never regret
'cause I'll do my home work diligently
Till we're both at least a hundred and three
Teacher, hold me, kiss me
Make me the teacher's pet


I read more in your lovin' eyes
Than in any book from the shelf
I don't have to tell you
You're in a class all by yourself

Kiss me, kiss me
After that, please kiss me again
Show me all that special attention
You'll never regret
'cause I'll do my home work diligently
Till we're both at least a hundred and three
Teacher, hold me, kiss me
Make me the teacher's pet !!

Show me that you love me

Oh, teacher, make me yourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr pe-et!!


11.Stairway To the Sea(Scalinatella)

Written:Enzo Bonagura/Albert Askew Beach/Giuseppe Cioffi


Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea
And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me,
watching the sea
I see us there upon the stairway to the sea
Where the mist softly kissed two lovers, hiding from others our
love by the sea

CHORUS
Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me?
I'm just a lonely pris'ner of the stairway to the sea
And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring 'Adore me'
there by the sea


And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring 'Adore me'
there by the sea

There by the sea
There by the sea!


12.Let's Love

Written:Norman Kaye/Richard J.Ferraris

Let's love while the night is young
Let's love, life has just begun
To become a dream, a dream of reality

Let's love, press your lips to mine
Let's kiss for that thrill divine
As we realize there's no one but you and me

I find your arms so inviting to me
So what am I to do?
The thrill of your touch is exciting to me
While our hearts are reeling, while we have this feeling

Let's love till the end of time
Let's love, leave the world behind
Now that we have found the wonderful glory of
Two magic words, ' Let's love'

Ahhh, let's love
Let's love, life has just begun
To become a dream, a dream of reality

Ahhh, let's love
Let's kiss, for that thrill divine
As we realize there's no one but you and me

I find your arms so inviting to me
So what am I to do?
The thrill of your touch is exciting to me
While our hearts are reeling, while we have this feeling

Let's love till the end of time
Let's love, leave the world behind
Now that we have found the wonderful glory of
Two magic words ' Let's love'

Let's love
Let's love
