Johnny Mathis - This Is All I Ask Lyrics
As I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure all the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask, this is all I need
Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than Spring

Johnny Mathis This Is All I Ask Comments
So lovely,, hearing romantic songs in these wee hours of the night. Of morning delights,, brings so much happiness,, oh music is my life forever. It feeds lonely souls awakened in love full of joy. Love you
HOW many times have I been in the audience, to listen to those beautiful pipes, sing magnificently!
Dont forget the great Nancy Wilsons version of this song. not taking anyrhing from the great and beautiful voice of Johnny Mathis. Since some of us are comparing singers version of this number all iask. just check out Nancys version. i still love Johnnys version @ Nañcys. Thank u 4 listening Maria is my name.
First time for me hearing this beautiful song, and it is done by the most magnificent singer EVER. Thank you! Wouldn't this just be a most appropriate song for John to include in his concerts now that he is almost 82. Wish that I could communicate the idea to him.
I absolutely love this song, and Mr. Mathis sings it so beautifully.
Not saying that Nat did it first - just giving one example.
Johnny did NOT sing/release this first. Others did it earlier (and some in the same year) - Nat Cole did it in the late 1950s. Johnny here is his usual awesome self!
You're welcome. Yes, that is a lovely version too.
I love Robert Goulet's version but Johnny's is also excellently performed. Thanks for sharing.
Great song, Great singer, thanks for posting
Thank you.
I love this video. This use to be my favorite Robert Goulet song because I've been told that I sound like him in the shower. "I wish" I especially enjoyed watching that little bird in the pond near the end of the video. Beautiful scenery and the magic touch of Mr Mathis. Thanks also for your magic touch
You're welcome and thank you for the lovely comment. I always like when someone hears a song of JM's for the first time.
Always a JOY to come to your channel and experience JM's magic. And yours! Another beautifully crafted video, perfect for Springtime. First time I heard this lovely song by Johnny and thank you for sharing it!
Thank you. I appreciate the nice words. : )
@TheGreatPerformances You're very welcome. Thank you for stopping by.
@CatfishJane You're welcome and thank you for the kind words.
This is another really wonderful video that fits the song beautifully. It is a real pleasure to watch and I just love the little bird at the end too! Thank you so much, Angela.
@beweau Thank you, Berit. You're so kind to say such nice things. I'm happy you enjoyed it it all.
This is so lovely Angela. For me, not a very known song. But so very beautiful. And the video following it is printed 'Angela' all over it. It's breathtaking, just as simple as that. Thank you.I have already put it out on my FB-site. (witch I use only on him, and soon I must baptise it to: Berits Johnny-site.)
@jmsgirlger1 Oh, thank you. He's so inspiring. : )
Another beautiful video...thank you, Angela.
@dar4869 Thank you. I appreciate that.
@petertcain Thank you so much for coming by and being so kind. Yes, he is brilliant.
Angela - another 1st Class video - Johnny as always is brilliant - Thanks for sharing
@39snow Hello, happy you came by and so glad you enjoyed it all.
this is amazing - as usual thank you for sharing this with us. excellent stuff!!!
@pick4guy Thank you but I don't think he does watch youtube, so I've heard.
Hope Mr Mathis watches your video's "Excellent"
This is what a song is all about, telling stories Johnny Mathis tells the story very well
@lenoremewton You're welcome and thank you Yes, JM always gives me chills when he hits those high notes too. No, it's not Percy Faith. Research shows, it's Glenn Osser.
it's a gorgeous video- your photos - as always- share a story of this poignant song and Johnny's voice- chills hit me particularly at around 2:22 and 3:25 . Shows off his incredible range. Love the orchestration- is that Percy Faith? ooh, just got those chills again! Thank you so much.
@mathismagic37 Thank you. Aren't you sweet! : )
@Mrslulumartins You're welcome and thanks for coming by.
@rasrealtor I'm really happy you enjoyed it all. It is la ovely song at any age. We've surely been blessed with Johnny Mathis, in our lifetime.
@Hetty4u You're welcome. : )
@mggloworm You're welcome. Yes, it would be nice if we could all be "younger than Spring." : )
@keepthemusicplaying0 You're welcome and I appreciate your kind words.
@mimibella12 You're welcome. Yes, it's a lovely song.
Wonderful singer and song. The clip is fantastic also. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic images Angela. At my age, this song, beautifully sung by Johnny, really hits home.
I've followed his music since the 50s, and he never dissapoints. (I'm listening to this for the 3rd time today).
Thank You very much for this beautiful song and clip
Such a lovely production! Most enjoyable, thank you!
Beautiful song, sung with such sincerity. Thanks for sharing and the pretty pictures.
@jeeire Thank you. This means a lot ot me.
Love your video xx
