Johnny Mathis - It Was Almost Like A Song Lyrics






Once in ev'ry life someone comes along;
And you came to me - it was almost like a song.

You were in my arms just where you belong;
We were so in love - it was almost like a song.

January through December
We had such a perfect year;
Then the flame became a dying ember,
All at once, you weren't here.

Now my broken heart cries for you each night,
And it's almost like a song, but it's much too sad to write.

Now my broken heart cries for you each night,
And it's almost like a song, but it's much too sad to write,

It's much too sad to write.

  7. K.... H....

    One of the most beautiful love songs ever wrote and nobody sings it better.

  8. A.... H....

    Beautiful JOHNNY.........You are Awesome......Much love and GOD BLESS YOU xxxxxxxxx

  9. N.... P....

    A beautiful man with a truly truly beautiful voice....

  10. K.... H....

    Best version of this song I’ve ever heard a beautiful song sung so beautifully by a true legend

  11. V.... Z....

    Nossa, uma música melhor que a outra. ..que voz abençoada por Deus! Amo Johnny Mathis 💜🎤🎶🙇

  12. K.... H....

    I’ve heard so many versions of this song but for me this is without doubt the best,the perfect song for the perfect voice.

  13. M.... H....

    JOHNNY Mathis Love your music. Thank You for being in my life for so many years. You are the best Mary

  14. J.... N....

    ❤️❤️

  15. m.... c....

    How very beautiful, but sad!¡¡!♡♡♡

  16. R.... W....

    Johnny Mathis is one great singer without a doubt.

  17. �.... �....

    Ronnie mislap s the original

  18. V.... J....

    reminds me of Washington state near my land.

  19. a.... p....

    I admit he did a great job-but Ronnie milsap was perfect for this song! Johnny was perfect for the song"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". ...TONY

  20. G.... B....

    I love you Johnny Mathis ❤

  21. T.... C....

    Love both artists but this one is Milsaps and only Milsaps only!!!!

    T.... C....

    Ronnie definitely owns this one...

  22. W.... S....

    Who are the deaf people with thumbs down???

    W.... S....

    They are people who may have lost loves and Jonny Mathis tears their hearts apart with what is the best voice ever

  23. E.... B....

    Ronnie Milsap actually sang it with emotion and it sounded good, I don't know why the heck this crap is!

    E.... B....

    Johnny sings EVERY song with emotion; he pours himself into his music. Yes, Ronnie's rendition is awesome, but so is Johnny's. Nobody forces you to listen to this version.

    E.... B....

    Milsap's version was just about ok, but Mathis The Master shows him how to REALLY sing!......

    E.... B....

    Crap? Do you recognize a beautiful voice?  You do not have to listen.

  24. g.... M....

    Johnny has so much class yet paradoxically he's in a class of his own.

  25. A.... S....

    Oh Johnny, you sung this so beautifully, you brought tears to my eyes, I love it. Thank you for all your music. I love you much.

  26. C.... H....

    This man is a National Treasure and should get every award from Kennedy Center Honors to a Grammy award. He has been a part of my life since 1958. My late husband took me to see him in 1962 at the Carter Baron Ampitheater in Washington, DC.

    C.... H....

    I’m with you Connie. Though he has gotten many awards I have spent the last three years partitioning along with others for him to receive the KCH Award.(which will come sometime we hope) and like you my late husband was wonderful in taking me to see him often. I have continued so far these three years since his passing. I have seen our “Treasure” 11 times now. He gets better each time. John Royce Mathis is “The Best of All The Rest.” ❤️🦋

  27. A.... S....

    OMG, I hope Johnny re record this song, this is so beautiful and just touched my heart I have tears. Johnny sings this with so much tenderness, I love it. I will send a request for him to rerecord this and release another album.

  28. i.... d....

    He gave up finding his one true love for his fans.

    i.... d....

    +i dont understand

    He's the best!

  29. J.... B....

    ronnie milsap sings it better.

    J.... B....

    Dickie Rock recording is the definitive reading

    J.... B....

    No he doesn't

  30. B.... S....

    A lovely song<3

  31. W.... ....

    It's been nearly 6 years since 'we' lost 'us'. The very heart of me. I miss you my gorgeous man. I cannot wait for my final day on Earth. Life without you, simply isn't life.

  32. G.... K....

    This is my favourite Johnny Mathis song I prefer this version to Ronnie Milsap's

  33. a.... ....

    BEAUTIFUL...,xxxx

  34. L.... S....

    Love this so, so much!!!

  35. a.... p....

    Its a good version of the song-but lacked the punch the original had.Milsap really blew it out of the water!!

    a.... p....

    Not true!!! I loved Milsap's version, but he doesn't have the depth and passion of Mathis!! Not by far!!!

  36. s.... ....

    such a sad song........

  37. B.... N....

    Johnny Mathis still remains SUPREME no matter what year!! I love him and his music! Bette

  38. s.... ....

    Fantastic,as always,by Johnny Mathis. Thank you.

  39. g.... ....

    johnny you were the song that came along for all of us to behold and listen to now for 76 yrs...just lovely.

  40. A.... ....

    By far the betther version of this song, beats Ronnie Milsap hands down! - The 'Master' shows how it should be done!

    A.... ....

    Yeah.....Johnny totally failed to hit the soaring high note at the end that Milsap hit with ease and made the song the classic it is. MILSAP FOREVER!

  41. c.... ....

    he says purr feck , that's what makes him great ,no one else interpets song like he does , I can't imagine him not being discovered , ,he said in an interview their were others like him , I would not have thought it arrogant at all if he had said their was no one out there like him , he has a beautiful soul and it comes through in his voice , I hope that he has gotton as much pleasure from his singing as I have , I don't even want to think of a day when he might not be around

  42. D.... L....

    First time I have heard this song and I thought I had heard everything Johnny had sung. Thank you for putting this on youtube. I love J.M. more than anyone and this song was such a great surprise,

  43. L.... ....

    Love, love, love this!!!

  44. M.... ....

    I absolutely LOVE this song!!! I remember my mother having on an LP where Johnny was relaxing in a chair. always have love it. Thanks for posting.

  45. N.... N....

    For me this song just brings out the quality in Johnny' superb voice. (it also reminds me of a certain someone that I'm not gonna go in to detail about) we had a perfect year too! Thanks for posting.

  46. M.... ....

    @cymboi I've searched for this song many times and have never been successful. The only ones I have ever found were with Ronnie. He sings it well but I do prefer Johnny. Thanks for posting this. Mark

  47. M.... ....

    I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!

  48. p.... ....

    @conyelp it sure is, do you happen to have the cd of him doing the song "don't give up on us baby" I had it on a album but forgot to transfer it on cd, thanks

  49. R.... ....

    Beautiful.

    Dan, What a beautiful video. I love Johnny Mathis, we saw him at the Palace Theater 5-6 years ago, what a wonderful show. He is not showy, he's just a fantastic singer. So romantic. I loved your black and white version in the beginning. Great Job!
