Davis Jr., Sammy - Gonna Build A Mountain Lyrics






Gonna build a mountain
From a little hill
Gonna build me a mountain
'Least I hope I will
Gonna build a mountain
Gonna build it high
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
I only know I'm gonna try

Gonna build me a daydream
From a little hope
Gonna push that daydream
Up the mountain slope
Gonna build a daydream
Gonna see it through
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream
Gonna make them both come true

Gonna build a heaven
From a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven
And I know darn well
If I build my mountain with a lot of care
And take my daydream up the mountain
And heaven will be waiting there

When I build that heaven as I will someday
And the lord sends Gabriel to take me away
What a fine young son to take my place
I'll leave a son in my heaven on earth
With the good lord's grace

With a fine young son to take my place
I'll leave a son in my heaven on earth
With the good lord's grace

Gonna build me a mountain

    The story goes that when Mr. Davis passed away in 1990 within a few days of his funeral the IRS showed up at his house and began removing furniture as part of the nearly $3 million in back taxes he owed. His wife at the time (Altovise Davis) didn't know what to do and called Frank Sinatra who demanded they stop and agreed to pay the back taxes. When Mr. Davis' estate was settled and many of his possessions auctioned off one interesting item that was sold was a pop vending machine in his game room that said "Keep Cool with Sammy"

    voice  like  silk

  35. m.... j....

    NICE TO MEET YOU TOO MAN, LISTEN MAN I GOTTA SPLIT, I GOT SOME CATS I GOTTA HANG WITH...

  36. J.... K....

    Jeez, Sammy is really making a mountain out of a molehill.

  37. A.... J....

    Matt monro is the voice in the honda commercial song version.

  38. S.... G....

    compared to what passes for talent these days...jeez....sammy davis jr......a true talent!

    S.... G....

    Singer, dancer, comedian, actor, impressionist! He really is the definition of talent!

  39. S.... Z....

    So who sings it in the commericial?  Pretty sure it's either Sinatra or Dino.

    S.... Z....

    Never heard him sing that low.  You do not think I am talking about this video do you?  This video is definitely Sammy.  The commercial does not sound like him.  I know he could imitate Sinatra.  Maybe he was doing Sinatra's voice in the commercial?  That would explain it.

    S.... Z....

    Googled it and you are wrong!  It's not Sammy in the Honda commercial like I knew it wasn't.  The guys ame is Matt Munro.  Now will you stop making a fool of your self please? 

    S.... Z....

    +Scott Zaccagnini Matt Monro

    S.... Z....

    +Scott Zaccagnini It's Matt Monroe

    S.... Z....

    +jreily88 Don't argue. It's Matt Monroe

  40. L.... j....

    Is it Sammy's version on that ad or one of the other rat pack guys?

    L.... j....

    @Lynn jones-baldwin That is Sammy's voice

  41. D.... L....

    He was great! I listen to I gotta be me. When I feel put upon. Makes me feel good.

  42. t.... ....

    Saw Honda ad as well. But I remember Sammy and this song and I always loved them both!

  43. K.... O....

    Love, love, love it!

  44. R.... Y....

    This song is from the great play "Stop The World, I Want To Get Off."  Originally featured Anthony Newley.

  45. G.... J....

    Me toolove that Honda ad😄

  46. P.... R....

    J.... F....

    @Justin Sylve download Soundhound It's so useful. I would have missed so many songs without that app.

    J.... F....

    +Bingo Long Matt Monro version

    J.... F....

    And now it's a Home Hardware commercial!

    J.... F....

    me too hahahaha LOL

  50. M.... F....

    I just heard this song on a repeat of 30 Rock and all of a sudden I had an irresistible urge to hear Sammy sing it again. I used to have his Showstoppers album and this was one of my favorites, along with Something's Coming from West Side Story. This isn't the same arrangement; it's a little snazzier but it'll do. Thanks for posting this.

  51. d.... d....

    No matter when or where I hear this song it cheers me up

    d.... d....

    me too.

  52. T.... T....

    If you practice phrasing and meaning then your speed will pick up with your increasing facility with the song.

    Good luck!

  53. c.... ....

    im studying this song in singing class! a little too slow though...

  54. U.... ....

    love this song well done mate
