Johnny Mathis - April In Paris Lyrics
I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris
What have you done to my heart?

Johnny Mathis April In Paris Comments
I first listened to JOHNNY MATHIS on the Radio here in Brazil around 1962 !
It was love at first audition !
Since then I have considered him the greatest singer of all times ever !
Many thanks for this post !
Best Regards from Art (SAO-SP, Brazil)
This song originally appeared on the album "Johnny's Mood." I love hearing this live version--the first time I've heard it (especially because they have a full orchestra, and they are taking it at such a lovely, leisurely tempo, and I love the nuances and emotion that Johnny brings to it); the original recording is also one of my favorites (of favorites), and it has been so nice to be "introduced" to this version. Thanks, Lenore for posting this, full of wondrous photos that do lend to the illusion of it being a live video, as someone wrote below.
you're weclome, Sherrie- i love this song- i think there is a live performance of it on YT but this is from the LP- from a 1970's Vegas peformance- i wonder if it's included in the new boxed set- it was never released in DVD. Enjoy:)
Yes, I saw it in the list of albums in the boxed set! The live performance of it on YT is from The Tonight Show. It featured the great Tonight Show band, but this version is much better (although the TS presentation was certainly wonderful) because the TS band featured a lot of brass and no strings---and this arrangement and presentation cries out for an orchestra with many stringed instruments along with the brass and woodwinds. That's why this is such a successful performance, besides what Johnny does with it. They made several interesting changes (like change of key near the end) which is a creative treat, because it expands on the original recording in wondrous ways. Johnny's voice has a remarkable way of "balancing" and combining with the sound of a full orchestra, something that few voices can do so excellently and dramatically.
@internetmimi - this is such a beautiful LP- I was fortunate that someone had their copy - LP - made into Mp3'- and gave it to me. You know you can download this with a youtube downloader and then convert it from a movie file to an mp3-. thank you very much for your kinds words- like you- i just love listening to this quintessential song of love and heart of Johnny's.
Thank you lenore for your response. There are certain songs that are unavailable on cd so I was so desparate that I resorted to buying vinyl and had to purchase a record player to play them. I will go to any lengths to hear JM. I love the video you put together, it's lovely.
@internetmimi this song epitomizes his capacity to take music and soul to an 'other worldly' level. Very glad you like it- how could you not? you're welcome. Please enjoy.
There has never been an entertainer who has brought out feeling so intense to his voice. Love this song and love JM . Thanks
@flodigarry1 - I heartily agree- this is a fabulous, fabulous album. Truly a wonderful performance- each song is perfection. Many have been uploaded on YT. I could not resist creating a visual video to go with this gorgeous piece. You're very welcome! Enjoy.
Another superlative performance by our gorgeous man. This is a wonderful album and should most certainly be released on CD. Many thanks once again for sharing with us all.
@mimibella12 - you're so welcome- it is a beautiful song- and it IS magic in Johnny's 'hands'- no one can bring such a level of expression to this- he really gets 'inside' the song. Enjoy.
That was wonderful! So much emotion! Johnny is always magic for me. Thanks for another great song from Johnny.
@maureen1938 - Thanks so much, Maureen- so glad you like it- I loved making it- it is such a wonderful song- I would've loved to have heard him sing it in concert- such as this concert- ) This brings me as close as I can get to that time-. Enjoy.
AWESOME......Thanks for posting this beautiful video.
So beautiful, and you are an artist with his pictures! It's almost as if it's a real live video! Wonderful interpretation of this lovely song. Wonderful, wonderful voice by the worlds most beautiful man. Your "bible-text for the day" at the top is elegant and informativ as always. Thank you. Berit. (my second try)
@theredeemed1013 - you're welcome.) oh, i so wanted to be at that concert... a bit of trek from the east coast- but I kept checking fares... what a great venue. If you've never seen him with a symphony- it's magic- and if you have- lucky you again.! Enjoy.
So very, very beautiful ... Thank you so very much. Johnny will be in San Francisco, CA. June 27 ... can hardly wait!!!
