Johnny Mathis - A Certain Smile Lyrics






A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart
On a merry chase
Afleeting 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 bitter sweet refrain
Comes that certain smile
To haunt your heart again

    Rolling Stone called it "Music to Get Horny By".

  44. D.... D....

    It was 1958, I was a Senior in High School, and this song was everywhere. This song definitely was the high point of the movie which was a good movie but itself forgettable. This song was and still is on the radio, it brings back lots of pleasant memories of times and people lost forever, a better time for me, and for the world as a whole I think.

    D.... D....

    very well said

  92. J.... B....

    Reminds me when I was a young boy and next door played this record on sundays in the summer and it was played on a very good stereogram every one in the street could hear it it was great.

  93. A.... K....

    I´ve heard him very often in my youth years

  94. H.... J....

    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

  95. N.... D....

    So beautiful. Reminds me of my Mum. X

  96. H.... T....

    I have backed up Johnny several times (I was first horn on a short tour years ago) and he's the best stage personality i know. The audiences love him and even now he's a fantastic performer, like a 5 year old having a blast on stage. I had a great moment a few years ago when he was singing a song I didn't have a part in and he caught me smiling on stage and sang the song to me. And in my few interactions with him he has been the nicest man you could imagine. A class act from top to bottom.

    H.... T....

    Such a nice thing to share.

    H.... T....

    He. is. the best there is. I loved him as a teenager and still love him now.

  97. B.... H....

    My heart melts as soon as this song starts, WHAT a fantastic voice, always loved Johnny Mathis

  98. J.... C....

    Johnny Mathis, never sang anything but a great song. He was the best.

    O QUE FALAR DE TAMANHA MUSICALIDADE.
