Johnny Mathis - What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? Lyrics






What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me

All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of gold and forest of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love, you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two

Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you

    *O Que Você Fará Pelo Resto de Sua Vida?*

    *O que você fará pelo resto da sua vida?*
    *Norte e Sul e*
    *Leste e Oeste da sua vida*
    *Só tenho um pedido de sua vida*
    *Que ela seja vivida comigo*
    *Todas as fases e todas as horas de seus dias*
    *Todos os níquéis e centavos de seu dia*
    *Permita que as razões e as rimas de seus dias*
    *Comecem e terminem comigo*

    *Quero ver seu rosto em toda forma de luz*
    *Em campos dourados e florestas noturnas*
    *E quando você estiver*
    *Diante das velas de um bolo*
    *Oh, deixe que eu seja a pessoa que vai ouvir*
    *O seu desejo silencioso*

    *Os dias de amanhã aguardando no fundo de seus olhos*
    *Em um mundo de amor que você guarda em seus olhos*
    *Quero acordar o que estiver dormindo em seus olhos*
    *Pode ser necessário um beijo ou dois*

    *Por toda a minha vida*
    *Verão, Inverno, Primavera e Outono de minha vida*
    *Tudo o que sempre lembrarei em minha vida*
    *É toda a minha vida com você*
    *Youuuuuuuuuuuuu....*

    TINHA LÁ MEUS 17 ANOS - ROLAVA O ANO DE 1971 QUANDO JOHNNY MATHIS GRAVOU ESTA LINDA MÚSICA ! UMA VEZ, INSPIRADO NESTA MÚSICA PERGUNTEI A UMA GAROTA QUE ME APAIXONEI - " O QUE VOCÊ VAI FAZER DO RESTO DE SUA VIDA ? "
    QUASE 50 ANOS DEPOIS VEJO PELO RETROVISOR A MINHA VIDA E PENSO - É MELHOR SORRIR DO QUE CHORAR !

  17. M.... G....

    No matter what Johnny Mathis has sung over the past 60 years, he sings with his heart and soul. I could sit and listen to him for hours.

  18. A.... D....

    Love the jazz and blues feel of the instrumental interludes of this arrangement. Gives the lyrics the melancholy flavor they deserve. Very tender and moving.

  19. E.... F....

    It's becoming clearer ;)

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

    I don’t know I hope you truly loved for all years from meeting but then when away ilu foreverin my heart and soul .

  24. A.... W....

    Amazing arrangement (by whom?) of this beautiful song - anyone think it gives it a touch of the James Bonds?

  25. I.... E....

    Dear All, we released a new version of the song via Apple Music. Best wishes IE! https://itunes.apple.com/tr/artist/intercontinental-express/1411467948

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

    So wonderful!!

  28. R.... S....

    This is Johnny Mathis in his most romantic style. He takes us to dreamland. Richard Shaw is the author of Wendy Sayvetz Audible.com

  29. R.... N....

    Johnny has had an enormous contribution to us all with his voice and his talent.

  30. L.... W....

    I have loved this man since I was 13 - a very, very long time ago!!!!

  31. J.... M....

  36. M.... M....

    Just fabulous WOW I love this wonderful Mr Johnny Mathis so handsome and talented and sings so beautifully and thank you Lenore you love him also

  37. D.... N....

    Fantastic

  38. M.... ....

    Awesome!

  39. E.... U....

    Excellent song and interpretations. Thanks for posting this.

  40. R.... L....

    Johnny Mathis' rendition of this wonderful, haunting song, is the very, very, definitive best from a male singer. And then there's Rosemary Clooney, best female singer on this, perhaps the best version ever. Hard to decide between them, I love both versions so much. And then there are the others...inferior, i'm afraid. R

  41. R.... L....

    Johnny has, for sure, the best voice for this song, the unearthly, beautiful throb that was uniquely his, and all, but...and yet...Rosemary Clooney does it best. but Johnny is so very good. i love that we have both versions. the rest...well, hear them if you like. the song, as good, and as haunting, as this one is. will always survive an inferior interpreter...yes? Frank and Barbra...don't you agree?

  42. M.... C....

    Siempre es un placer escuchar a Jhonny Mathis.

  43. M.... M....

    Just fabulous Mr Johnny Mathis is so wonderful and sings so beautifully he is also gorgeous I love him so this song brings back memories thank you for this video god bless him and his family

  44. N.... W....

    I prefer jack jones' version of this song, Johnny a close second.

  45. M.... ....

    The most beautiful sound in the world in two words.........Johnny's voice.

  46. C.... H....

    Thank you Lenore for all the wonderful music of Johnny Mathis that you have posted. Much appreciated. He is a National Treasure.

  47. L.... R....

    Oh yes, the master at work.  I also love Dusty Springfield's version of this song, check it out, spellbinding.

    L.... R....

    The Legrand/Bergmans composition inspires the best from any true artist: Indeed, Mathis and Springfield give proof to it - but also do Rosemary Clooney; Peggy Lee; Abby Lincoln; Mel Torme; Bill Evans; Oscar Peterson; Cal Tjader - Sinatra, too; etc. Ms. Maysa Leak is a must - it's as if Dakota Staton were there again with us!

  48. I.... S....

    UMA DAS MAIS BELAS MÚSICAS QUE JOHNNY MATHIS GRAVOU ! LÁ SE VÃO MAIS DE 60 ANOS DE ESTRADA ! TENHO PRATICAMENTE TUDO DELE, MUITA COISA AINDA EM VINIL ! DESDE O FINAL DOS ANOS 50 ATÉ AGORA ! UMA VERDADEIRA LENDA ! AINDA ESTÁ NA ESTRADA ! SUA AGENDA CONTINUA LOTADA ! UMA VIDA MARAVILHOSA ! NOS OFERECE MOMENTOS DE TERNURA DE MUITAS SAUDADES ! SALVE JOHNNY ! QUE DEUS TE ILUMINE SEMPRE ! IVAN BOCALON

    I.... S....

    Não gosto muito de americanos mas...como é possível não se comover diante de um talento desses ? Johnny Mathis tem uma voz fantástica, inigualável e encantou minha adolescência naqueles tempos românticos.

  49. C.... ....

    answering the phone...for the rest waiting to being into your arms...nothing else...

  50. K.... S....

    Im'a such a romantic ! Wish this is how it could be !

  51. R.... G....

    Said this to my wife back in 1957 and we are still together getting older by the day it's been a good life can't complain.

    @lenoremewton *Quando vc puder por favor, coloque legenda em Portugues do Brasil. Essa musica é linda demais, quem na vida já não fez essa pergunta a quem se ama?
    Obrigado por ter postado !!!

  65. M.... ....

    Johnny coloca miel en sus canciones...

  66. R.... G....

    Fantastic Johnny very mellow

  67. L.... W....

    I know he is gay he told it a while but still he make my little heart flutter....too bad for us all but I think he know that...breaking all those ladies heart...:-) take care

  68. S.... ....

    Lisa - Johnny is beautiful, but sadly for you, he is gay.
    Saw him twice in Portland, Oregon back in the day. I remember he sang "Maria" acapella. Blew the audience away. We were on our feet
    in seconds. He was the ultimate singer. I still have about 10 of his vinyl records. Since then I have found Roberto Carlos of Brazil. Wonderful singer and human being.. So many good singers from the past - John Gary & Jack Jones were two greats, but Johnny was my first love.

  69. l.... ....

    very special memories, Ray. Everyone who has a chance to meet Johnny is touched by his warmth and humble nature. enjoy his beautiful music.

  70. R.... G....

    I saw him in person several times in the early days, was able to talk to him at the Westchester Premier Theatre in Elmsford NY I have many of his recordings.

    R.... G....

    So beauitul! Oh yes, and so is their song. Just saying.

  71. l.... ....

    isn't he just. Never tire of saying how much i adore this CD- collaboration between these musical geniuses . Enjoy!

  72. R.... G....

    Just amazing Johnny

  73. L.... W....

    All I can say it this...he is one handsome man and the hair is beautiful...I fell in love with him as a little girl...Love you Johnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I wanted to married him a little girls crush.

  74. B.... S....

    Johnny Mathis really does kill me softly with his voice - just unbelievably beautiful and bittersweet. I could listen to his singing, and his alone, for the rest of my life and be content...☼♥

  75. l.... ....

    @MrJorgeseijo - you're so welcome! Happy holidays.

  76. j.... a....

    Maravillosa voz Johnny thank you ..

    George.

  77. l.... ....

    @TheRomanticInterlude - Thanks so much-Johnny's voice here and on this whole CD- which I never tire of saying- is nothing short of masterful. You can 'feel' every note. Very glad you enjoyed it.

    l.... ....

    lenoremewton My words fail me! He is just living in an Body and Soul Music.

  78. T.... R....

    AWESOME.....RATED10

  79. l.... ....

    @Biceps318 - you're welcome- it's a counterpoint- both great - just different. continues to demonstrate Johnny's diversity and that certain depth within his voice that has emerged over time. Enjoy!

  80. B.... W....

    Thank you lenoremewton, it certainly does compliment the original version!

  81. l.... ....

    @Biceps318 - you're welcome- I shared it - as an 'addition to' the other- not to replace-. The reason this sounds different i believe - is the active collaboration of these artists- Johnny, Michel LeGrand and Marilyn and Alan Bergman- they were playing together- like instruments in an orchestra- and that's when the sweetness emerges- there is more emotion coming through here- which becomes part of the 'voice'. enjoy:)

  82. B.... W....

    I haven't heard this version before, though JM's original version is still one of my all time favorites. The addition of the sax solo works so well. Thank you so much for sharing!

  83. l.... ....

    @flodigarry1 - My- thank you so very much. Yes, how true- and- as we all enjoy his music so much, so often, in our own ways, we 'are' spending our lives with him- he colors our lives and adds depth- hopefully he feel this right back in every concert. You're very welcome. Enjoy:)

  84. f.... ....

    This so beautiful it completely tears me apart. I'm sure this is exactly what we would all like to say to Johnny. Thank you so much Lenore for posting.

  85. l.... ....

    @svnnhshirl - So glad you like it, Shirley. Loved making it. Please enjoy:)

  86. S.... A....

    So beautiful, Lenore! Thanks, Shirley

  87. l.... ....

    @RvHauler1 - Thanks very much for the pointer- I will look for it. :)

  88. l.... ....

    @haidee818- Nora- how sweet of you to post- I appreciate it:) well we both appreciate the incredible talents of men with "M" in their last name! Glad i've introduced you more to Johnny as you have for me. It was all worth any effort- especially when people are happy! (love that beard, eh?) Enjoy:)

  89. l.... ....

    @RvHauler1 - you're welcome- so glad you're enjoying it- i've not heard The Mountain Man- i'll search for it- the Bergmans and Legrand are pure magic together- and add Johnny- wow- what a combination.

  90. l.... ....

    @ReadMeReadYou - Oh, thank you ~ much appreciated! What do we call these...??? "Labors of Love" ?! For sure. And, thank you for 'trading'. Bette Midler song again:) enjoy.

  91. R.... ....

    This song is perfectly framed by your video. This took a lot of work and you should be proud of it. Thanks for sharing.

  92. l.... ....

    @YmcaMaine - you're very welcome- you will LOVE the concert- Johnny is unbelievable at any age- he has a way of mesmerizing the audience. Be prepared for dreamland. Enjoy:)

  93. S.... H....

    I'm going to a JM Concert in N.J. in April. It will be my first time seeing him on stage, I'm 75 years old, but feel so young at heart when I listen to his music. Thank you ...
