Johnny Mathis - The Love Nest Lyrics
Many builders there have been
Since the world began;
Palace, cottage, mansion, inn,
They have built for man.
Some were small and some were tall:
But the best one of them all
Jack built long ago.
'Twas built in bygone days,
Yet millions sing its praise.
Just a love nest
Cozy with charm,
Like a dove nest
Down on a farm.
A veranda with some sort of clinging vine,
Then a small room,
Tea set of blue;
Best of all, room—
Dream room for two.
Better than a palace with a gilded dome,
Is a love nest
You can call home.
Building houses still goes on
Now as well as then.
Ancient Jack and Jill are gone,
Yet return again.
Ever comes the question old:
Shall we build for pride,
Or shall brick and mortar hold
Warmth and love inside?
The answer you may know:
Jack solved it long ago

Johnny Mathis The Love Nest Comments
OMG, this is so beautiful, makes me love him more and more, the voice is so romantic, I love the way he interprets this song. Gives me goose bumps, the voice is one of a kind.
I normally worship wonderful Johnny Mathis, but this take on this gorgeous chestnut is a bit slow and drippy for me. I much prefer Gogi Grant's simpler piano-only accompanied version from the soundtrack of "The Helen Morgan Story." Still this is lush and pleasant, and much better than the junk that passes for popular music today. How sad so many young people don't know this kind of musical beauty.
