Johnny Mathis - Memory Lyrics






Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory, she is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then
I remember a time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory, too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days, the stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun

    Simply perfection.

  15. T.... S....

    This is so right..I love Johnny's version. Very operatic. I listened to Deniece Williams version which she did in 1989 in honor of the author. It was done so sweet and tenderly I loved her version too. This is why the two of them did many duets together. The two go hand in hand..Perfect.

  16. A.... S....

    amo este cantor

  17. J.... E....

    Every song Dr. Mathis sings, he snatches it from the original artist and make it his own. He is truly a gift from our Savior, himself.

    Love this guy and his music. Got to see him live in concert in the mid seventies and what a concert he put on for us. One of the best nights I have spent.

  25. A.... M....

    Jhonny Mathis es el mejor ejemplo de disciplina de un cantante que ama lo que hace y cuida el don que el altisimo le dio que Dios lo bendiga y cuide

  26. R.... S....

    This beautiful song is from the musical Broadway Musical Cats. Johnny Mathis has a good version of this song. Richard Shaw is the author of Music Education In The Schools (Audible.Com).

    Have you heard Barbara Strisand's version? She does a great job also. Chris - Atlanta

  27. C.... b....

    There is no song that he can not make sound beautiful. He has been my memory for
    a lot of years. Just a perfect voice. Thank you, God. for bringing him to us.

    Uma das vozes mais bonita.

  30. s.... ....

    I love Johnny Mathis version of this song the best. What a beautiful voice. I was fortunate to have seen him in concert and I was completely mesmerized. A beautiful man with a silvery voice that can shame the roses.

  31. A.... P....

    Ainda tem vozes bonitas mas igual a Johnny Mathis não ha´e não haverá.

  32. J.... M....

    Sempre converso com alguns amigos que apreciam a boa música, Johnny Mathis é um dos maiores intérpretes da música mundial, sem dúvidas.

    J.... M....

    Estou inteiramente de acordo c/ suas palavras, sr Milton. Porém, há cantores no mesmo naipe tais como Neil Diamond, Paul Anka, Engelber Humperdinck, Al Martino, Andy Williams, Barry White, Nat King Cole, Tonny Bennet, Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow, Barry Gibb, Don Maclean, Roy Orbinson, Elvis e tantos outros. Entretanto, Johnny se sobressai com louvor. Um abraço.

  33. x.... ....

    une voix en or formidable

  34. H.... L....

    Realmente uma  viagem!

  35. L.... L....
