Johnny Mathis - Wasn't The Summer Short? Lyrics
Wasn't the summer short?
Didn't it seem to fly?
Where are the nights we thought we'd find
Our love under summer skies?
Forget to find us?
Didn't the month of June
Fail utterly to remind us that...
Autumn comes all too soon.
Midsummer madness dies.
Nothing is quite the same when leaves
Turn gold 'neath September skies.
Why did we let this magic time go by?
Wasn't the summer short?

Johnny Mathis Wasn't The Summer Short? Comments

Beautiful and Rich

In Charleston,SC ,our summer is 5 months long.In fact it`s Feb.25th and 84 degrees today.
Poetry and musical magic - hand in hand.
Cada nota que brota de su garganta, como matríz creadora de la palabra, me transporta a un agradable estado espiritual.
Thank you so for the post. Ruth Lyons was a musical genius. I live just north of Cincy all my life and when I was growing up my mom watched her faithfully. Mom loved this song by both Johnny and pianoist Peter Nero.
Makes you want to go back when life was easy and tranquil. Love,love this song. Thanks.
This song was written by Cincinnati's famed Ruth Lyons especially for Johnny to record.
He never misses - a beautiful song sung beautifully............
@paulisarunner It's one of my favorites and lots of people never heard it by him and don't know it's here.
Yes, JM has a kind and wonderful essence. God bless.....
I remember ruth lyons and how Johnny Mathis was a frequent guest on her show. This song immortalizes Ruth and brings up such bittersweet memories in my own summer, now long past.
I am always singing this song. Johnny sings it so well.
@partridgelady Thanks, Sharon. It's one of my favorite songs by JM.
I just love this song, RMRY, in fact I used it a couple time on the MMM as a summer theme. You do such beautiful work, keep it up. Hugs, Sharon
@Molly1932 Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's a song that not many know by Johnny and one of my favorites.
I love it. A sad yet beautiful song, sung perfectly by Johnny. The images were just right too.
@26greenrose I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by. It's a song that not many people know he did and it was too beautiful not to share.
@inihcram51 Yes, the song does imply that too in a poetic way.
I'm happy that this song has a special meaning to you. I just love it. Thank you for coming by.

Thanks for posting. This song has a very special meaning to me. Only Mathis can do it justice.
Thanks again.

It certainly is. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Ruth was a constant in my child world, which was otherwise quite unpredictable. Today, I am thankful for Youtube for reviving that time of my life with deeper feelings than the first time around. Eternal thanks to you, Ruth. Mother, some of us children are still missing you,
It's a beautiful song. It says many things. Thank you for stopping by.
Thanks for the download-what a perfect song for this melancholy time of year. I always begin to ache for the Springtime when everything begins to turn brown and die outdoors. Ruth Lyons certainly captured this sadness when she wrote this song.
R.I.P. Ruth- you are greatly missed!
It took me 50 years. : ) I hope you get your wish too. Thank you for coming by and leaving a comment.
You are so lucky to have met Johnny. I've been praying to meet him face to face and have his autograph before I "croak". Thank you for all the beautiful songs and videos of JM.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. He does have such a beautiful voice. He's my number one favorite, as you can see. : )
Thank You for songs of Johnny
Is 1 of my Favorite artists
so very beautiful voice
Amen to that. : )
You may have to wait till the end. I played the song again just now and the mp3 ad came up and not the four CD colleciton. Could be at the end of the song sometimes. Hope that helps.
It is on a CD four set addition. If you play the song again, you can see the ad at the beginning.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Great song by Johnny. Thanks for the lovely comment.
Angela
Great. There's never enough Mathis Magis. : )
That's great. I'm glad you found a new one. It's wonderful!
I'm one of them
Wow I love this so much I just purchased some more of Mathis magic.
Never let them go. There is nobody like Johnny Mathis. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
wow..love johnny's songs...so beautiful...my dad has a huge collection of his songs and i still keep it..
thanks for sharing it
I'm so glad I could put up a song someone didn't hear before. There are so many beautiful songs of Johnny's, yet to be discovered, by younger fans. Thanks for the nice comment.
Stunning! And beautiful. Thanks so much for introducing me to this gem i'd not heard before. Yes, here's to all of us enjoying the rest of the summer no matter the weather or where we are.
