Johnny Mathis - Yesterday Lyrics






Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

    Johnny Mathis e Nat King Cole são extraordinariamente maravilhosos.

  6. J.... B....

    Sir Jonny Mathis but also Sir Gli Reigers. What a fabulous guitarist and probably one of the greatest ever. Such feeling and Such touch on a guitar. The two artists are a lethal combination. Wonderful stuff from both giants.

  7. M.... D....

    Still absolutely Wonderful 🎶Wonderful🎶

  11. S.... A....

    Super fantástico Johnny Mathis !!

  12. V.... J....

    Gorgeous radiant John Mathis

  13. V.... J....

    I really agree with you that he is better than Sinatra. Dad always loved Sinatra's music but said he was not always nice to people.

  14. T.... S....

    Johnny is a wonderful loving man with a blessed gift from above. I'm thankful I became familiar with his life's magic of song.at a very early age (for me 9or10). And his wonderful guitarist Gil is amazing and displays such musical talent that he and John are synced in musical gifts. And It would seem a loyal friend to Johnny as well for many many yrs. May God continue to bless the both of them.

    T.... S....

    You have expressed my exact thoughts so well. After hearing him with the Pittsburgh Symphony in July, all I felt was..."Forget the symphony. All you need is Gil and several of your regulars to accompany you. All I need is the voice of Johnny Mathis!"

  15. J.... D....

    He is even better than McCartney with this one.

  16. J.... D....

    He is better than Sinatra.

    J.... D....

    JOANNE D. REMPFER I am a huge fan of Johnny Mathis since I am 19 years old, now I am 70, but I think He is as good as Frank Sinatra, not better, not worse, because both are wonderful, each one in his style of music, that is completely different. It doesn’t matter how old he is, he is the best singer actually.

  17. J.... S....

    I think that he really felt those lyrics

  18. n.... g....

    la voz mas hermosa a nivel mundial , tan suave como encantadora , una delicia escuchar , ojala algun dia venga a Chile .

  19. G.... C....

    John sings it beautifully, and Gil's guitar is the perfect accompaniment. I like John's hair longer, though. ;-) The most covered song in the world, and no one sings it better than John.

  20. j.... e....

    Lindo Lindo Lindo, Quem é Rei Jamais perde a Magestade

  21. J.... B....

    Johnny, é sem dúvida a grande voz

  22. d.... ....

    Esta deve ser a voz de Deus......Grande Johnny !!!!!

  23. A.... S....

    Johnny Mathis, your voice is ageless, you are as good as ever as when you started singing.  A beautiful human being gifted with a wonderful magical voice.  Thank you for the music.

    A.... S....

    Agreed. And I think Connie Cox, who taught John to sing, and Helen Noga, who called George Avakian to see him also deserve credit as well as Clem Mathis, John's father, who first recognized John's extraordinary voice. John has a great voice, there's no denying that, but without the recognition of some of these other people, John would probably be a retired teacher today. Don't get me wrong, I love his music, but it didn't just spring forth full blown. It was nurtured by many loving people who cared about John's talent. John would be the first to admit that.

    A.... S....

    G C Renoir He did. In an interview on a TV program, h thanked his father and those people you said above, for being so kind to teach him how he should take of his voice, to keep singing when he was old.

  24. R.... L....

    Grande Johnny Mathis! Aos 80 anos, continua cantando maravilhosamente.

  25. F.... C....

    ele sempre vai ser o máximo 👏👏👏👏👏

  26. B.... B....

    Very tender rendition.

  27. y.... m....

    Que   hermosa  voz  de  Johnny  ,  un  deleite  a  nuestros  oidos.

  28. A.... N....

    Massagem nos tímpanos fabuloso.

  29. d.... l....

    bless johnny. you never heard or read any trash talk about him...a sweetperson with a still beaytiful voice...bella

    d.... l....

    @darlene longo i have noticed that too....i always figured it was because he's simply a very nice man who deserves respect, even from the gossip mongers!

    d.... l....

    Nothing for people to gossip about with John. He's lived alone for fifty-seven years, he's not into drugs or alcohol or parties, and he's in bed by nine or ten, up by four or five. He spends his time rehearsing, touring, recording, cooking, or golfing.

  30. n.... t....

    Greatest singer ever.  Did cover of Misty.  Could someone and listen and share your thoughts. Thanks

  31. L.... P....

    Johnny Mathis is one with the Devine. This is why he can maintain this matchless voice.  Mr. Mathis almost never received the accolades he has really deserved.  He is in the pantheon with Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sarah V. , and other ascended masters.  Like theirs, it is a voice of such a glorious quality as come along only once in an age.  When we talk about the great voices of the 20th and 21st centuries, Johnny Mathis' voice and presence as a great gentleman and honored  spirit will need no further explanation. 
    Laurin De Teige Poydras, pianist

    L.... P....

    Bonsoir Laurin je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vs ,je l'adore depuis que j'ai 20 ans je l'ai vu pour son seul concert en France en 1974 ,c'était fantastique ,inoubliable ,j'ai beaucoup de ses disques en 33 tours .Mais les européens ne le connaissent pas bien .Je fais du Gospel (Basse) Au plaisir Jean-Luc

    L.... P....

    And, he is able to sing so well into old age. Amazing. One of the very best of all time; I agree.

    L.... P....

    LOL I don't think John would like to be said to have reached "old age." In many ways he can run circles around me, and I'm only thirty-nine! But I know what you mean. Most singers have retired by the time they reach eighty-one, but John has taken care of his voice. It's still gorgeous!

  32. i.... d....

    I believe in Johnny Mathis

  33. A.... d....

    the best singer ever I hear it touches my soul

  34. P.... C....

    wonderful ; God really blessed him and the guitarist 

    P.... C....

    Johnny is fabulous; ; he still brings tears to my eyes when he sings this.  You know and feel it comes straight from his heart and a God given voice the Angels gather round to listen to him and his marvelous guitarist..... Long may they live and entertain !!!!!! <3

    P.... C....

    it is born into your soul ; sir , so you cannot lose it 

    P.... C....

    I believe God blessed both John and Gil with extraordinary talent, and I believe both worked hard to develop that talent, but actually, singers produce emotion through a technique called "sob." John has even talked about this. He was asked by Noel Edmonds, I think, if he "felt" the lyrics, and he answered that he concentrated on technique. All the really good singers do. He was no doubt taught the technique by Connie Cox.

  35. L.... D....

    Amo Johnny Mathis, voz inigualável, voz acariciante.

  36. i.... d....

  37. F.... F....

  39. v.... ....

    Today Mr. Mathis turns 78. Happy Birthday, Johnny and many happy returns of the day.

  40. r.... m....

    Assim chegariaElvis,cantando também deste modo com esta idade atualmente,Pessoas
    imortais...

  41. l.... ....

    Generally, I would have thought it not possible that one could sustain the level and quality of vocals Johnny Mathis has been able to maintain as he nears 80. You still represent the very best at your craft kind sir. May the powers that be see fit to have you singing forever, and thank you for devoting what you must daily to "Sound like Johnny Mathis." Just remarkable.

  42. S.... H....

    He has aged gracefully!
    His voice is still the best and hasn't changed.

  43. M.... V....

    So beautifull still ,soft and smooth Johnny!

  44. M.... V....
