Johnny Mathis - Live For Life Lyrics






Come with me, my love, and seize this day and live it, live it fully, live it fast
Never thinking once about tomorrow till tomorrow's been and gone and past
We'll pour the wine and fill the cup of joy and drink a drink as if it were the last
Live, just live for life

In paree today and amsterdam tomorrow, sixty minutes through the skies
Fly with me to see the setting summer sun and stay with me to see it rise
Then say to those who say "to live this way is mad", then mad we'd rather be than wise
Live, just live for life

If you let me I will lead you
Through the myst'ry and wonder
Of a world you've never known before
Share the splendors to be shared
Magic places to explore
There the dangers to be dared
Life is all of this and more
This and more

Yesterday's a memory gone for good forever while tomorrow is a guess
What is real is what is here and now, the here and now is all that we possess
So take my hand and we will taste the moment if for just the moment's happiness
Live, just live for life

Live, just live for life
Live, just live for life
Live, just live for life

    This was sort of a followup to " A Man & A Woman ". I feel like a teenager again.

    Inesquecível!

  41. S.... D....

    Great recording of this great song, please correct me if I am wrong, but I have the feeling that in the film this song was played during a "shower scene" with Yves Montande and A.N Other

  42. l.... ....

    Really dig the photos here. AMAZING song. Words to live by.

  43. j.... g....

    تعالا أحبك ونعيش الحياة سوا ننسى الدنيا ننسى بكره نفتكر بس الهوى .. نسافر هنا وهناك أى مكان بس أكون معاك ..نشوف الغروب و الشروق .. ننسى أمبارح واللى كان وكمان ننسى الزمان والمكان ..نتبادل الحب و الحنان حتى لو الناس قالوا ده جنان.. تعالا أحبك ونعيش الحياة ..

  44. I.... S....

    @candy6jan Thank you. Happy you enjoyed it all.

  46. c.... ....

    Great song! And of course beautiful pictures to accompany it :)

  47. R.... ....

    @chenarch You're welcome. I'm happy you enjoyed it all. His music does change our mood or bring us back to different times.

  48. a.... ....

    Thank you very much for posting this video. The images perfectly capture the mood of this song. Johnny Mathis's rendition of this song always, since I first heard it in 1976, puts me in a wonderful, dreamlike place and time.

  49. c.... ....

    @robertconticom I stand corrected!! Thanks.

  50. R.... C....

    @chenarch
    No, this piece was not written by LeGrand. This is Francis Lai at his best!

  51. R.... C....

    @chenarch
    No, This is one of the most gorgeous songs Francis Lai ever wrote.

  52. c.... ....

    I think it was written by Legrand, not Lai.

  53. J.... K....

    An inspiring song by one of the greats, Johhny Mathis. You young ones won't know him I suppose, but I loved his music. He had so many wonderful recordings. Enjoy is special song called "Live for Life. "The year was 1969 on the album, "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet." Later, I believe in the nineties, it was put in the boxed set, "The Music of Johnny Mathis, a personal collection," which is still available.

  54. C.... M....

    This song was also recorded by Percy Faith and his Orchestra with an all female chorus doing the vocals.

  55. R.... ....

As for the charts, you'll have to look that up, I cannot remember. Thank you for stopping by. : )

  56. R.... ....

    Your husband is so romantic. I love that story. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by.

  57. H.... ....

    My husband and I are away from eachother for a couple of weeks, and he sends me a song every morning to wake up to...this was today's song...

  58. R.... ....

    You must have a wonderful, exciting marriage. Thank you for sharing. Happy Anniversary.

  59. a.... ....

    My pleasure, you're welcome.

  60. R.... ....

    "Vivre Pour Vivre" good catch. I never saw it. But thanks for the correction.

  61. a.... ....

    Sung by Johnny, it gains a romantic flavor! But may I do a small correction? In fact this song has got the same movie title, 'Live For Life', featuring Candice Bergen and Yves Montand. 'A Man and a Woman' also names other movie, with Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintgnant. Both were directed by Claude Lelouch. And Francis Lai composed both songs.

  62. R.... ....

    Thank you for stopping by. : )

  63. R.... ....

    Yes, I couldn't agree more. Thank you.

  64. R.... ....

    It's so wonderful to hear him past and present. He is the greatest and I'm so happy you're enjoying your new CD. Thanks for the comment and I'm also happy you liked the photos. I try to put a frame around perfection......It isn't easy. Johnny is so special.

  65. K.... D....

    I love it here and this song I have it on "A Personal Collection the music of Johnny Mathis" This is one of my favorites

  66. R.... ....

    It's always nice to hear one that is new to you. I feel that way about his music in Spanish. I love hearing it because I've never heard some of it before and it's so enjoyable to feel as if you're hearing a barnd new recording.

  67. R.... ....

    Thanks. I too love NYC. As a kid, I have so many fond memories of NYC and, if I could, I'd live there now. Enjoy NY! I love NY and I love New Yorkers. : )

  68. K.... D....

    I love the pictures I was born and still live in NYC and I love it here

  69. R.... ....

    Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words.

  70. D.... K....

    love it you did SO!!!! great on this video
