Johnny Mathis - Long Ago And Far Away Lyrics






Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day
And now, that dream is here beside me
Long, the skies were overcast, but now the clouds have passed
You're here at last

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was never denied me
One look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

That all I longed for long ago
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

    Excelente @@) Eu tenho outra gravação, porém imersa em um conjunto maior, formando um vídeo dedicado a este título.

  3. D.... O....

    I guess I'm the only one listening to this beautiful song in December 2019

  4. F.... A....

    A SIMPLE BALLAD FINELY DONE BY JOHNNY....A HAUNTING RENDITION

    I love every song that Johnny Mathis sings. If he sang Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, I would love it all over again.

  8. K.... M....

    There never was and will never be, another Johnny Mathis

  9. P.... ....

    I listen to this every evening before going to sleep - just so lovely - 'night all :-)

  10. R.... H....

    an old favorite song from my childhood sung by one of my favorite singers. thank you ms.newton.

  11. M.... H....

    Johnny Mathis,..Is totally the best in my opinion..Unbelievable

    M.... H....

    Marilyn Hudson Johnny Mathis is the best in the whole universe

  12. J.... P....

    Well I'll take issue not with Mathis or the arrangement which are flawless. The words are weak. The melody has awkward phrases. The first eight bars are actually broken into
    3, 2,1,2 Yes! that adds up to 8 but awkwardly. There is word Ira gave up on the tune and submitted his perhaps 50th version. I think he was stumped at Kern's oddball melody.

  13. m.... ....

    Still LOVE this AMAZING singer and this after so many years.....He's fabulous....!!!!

  14. M.... v....

    it just astounds me how these jewish men could write such awesome and beautiful lyrics when the were being percecuted. If you think about it so many composers/lyricists were jews and i will never stop loving them for the joy they have given me. I will listen to their songs forever !

  15. M.... M....

  20. J.... C....

    now age is upon me,words of this song me such a lot ------IF ONLY

  21. R.... G....

     Long Ago and Far Away.....A lot of his songs were just made for him.

  22. D.... B....

    Very true Leonore...Jerome Kern came up with a terrible dummy lyric, so that Ira would finally turn in this beautiful lyric!

  23. P.... ....

    Our country would have missed out on so much wonderful music if it hadn't been for Johnny Mathis.  What a voice. What a terrific talent. 

    P.... ....

    the world really- . His influence goes beyond our borders-- . how true though. very lucky us.
