Johnny Mathis - Whistling Away The Dark Lyrics
Often I think this sad old world is whistling in the dark.
Just like a child, who, late from school
Walks bravely home through the park.
To keep their spirits soaring and keep the night at bay.
They sing the shadows away.
Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good.
And then I see a brand new face,
I glimpse some new neighborhood.
So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true.
Whistling whistling here in the dark with you.
Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good.
I glimpse some new neighborhood.
So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true.
Whistling whistling here in the dark with you.

Johnny Mathis Whistling Away The Dark Comments
I love this song by Johnny Mathis so much. Magnificent Thank you for posting this video..
Maravilhoso. Obra prima de Johnny Mercer/Henry Mancini, Johnny Mathis amo.
Another song that was not played enough...It is one of the most beautiful songs Johnny Mathis sings. Thank you for posting this
Such a beautiful voice can calm the soul
Beautiful version. I couldn't think of any other male singers who could sing this as good as Johnny Mathis. Originally sang by Julie Andrews from soundtrack movie, Darling Lili, and of course, breathtaking, sublime....fell in love with this song.
Johnny Mathis sings so magically and lovely I just love this man so much
A great performance for a marvelous song!
Since I was about 17 years of age I liked the music of Johnny Mathis. I must have gradually realized that he had a voice like no other singer...and I was right. I grew to love his music and style. I now host a once-a-month internet radio program where I play only his music. It's at www.oshawarocks.com and it starts at 10 am eastern time. Please let all of your Johnny Mathis friends know about this. Thank you. Len Jeffrey.
This is the first time I heard this. As usual Johnny gave life to this song, so lovely, yes poignant. Thank you lenoremewton for sharing him with us. He is a loveable human being, a class of his own.
You're welcome Anita - I've heard Johnny say this is one of his favorite albums - done with his dear friend another master - Henry Mancini
UNA DE LAS MÁS BELLAS CANCIONES INTERPRETADA POR UNA DE LAS MÁS BELLAS VOCES!
qué bueno encontrar este tema tan querido en una voz favorita!
Mancini, Mathis are unbeatable - with Anita Kerr in the chorus. Truly rewarding.

what a great song never heard before
Johnny Mercer's music always has such wonderful lyrics and Johnny Mathis is the best at enunciating every one of them. This song also highlights Johnny Mathis' vocal range and his ability to nuance the meaning. Love this video. Thanks, Lenore!
So very true. Johnny not only enunciates and brings meaning- he 'caresses' lyrics while weaving the melody and lyric together. You're very welcome. Enjoy.
So lovely, his velvet voice. Thank you Lenore.
So glad you enjoyed it, Lois. Beautiful album- wonderful collaboration between Johnny and Henry Mancini- the two wonderful "Mr. M's!" enjoy.
Beutiful Lenore love this song xx
glad you enjoyed it, Sandra. It really touches people's heart strings. enjoy.
Beautiful song, and beautifully done as usual Lenore. Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment, Sandy, I appreciate it. So glad you like it- it is so lovely- once again- quintessential Johnny- always touching our hearts. Enjoy.
SO BEAUTIFUL! Always brings a tear to my eye to hear this! Thanks very much, Lenore!
You're welcome, Sherrie. Such a poignant song- I am sure we all can identify with these lyrics in one way or another. Only Johnny can bring this level of emotional vulnerability- . Glad you enjoyed it.
This is lovely, Lenore.....had forgotten all about this song. Great photos...as usual! Thank you!
you're welcome, Geraldine- very glad you like it- several people have said this - the song forgotten- so i'm glad I selected it. This is one of my favorite albums- and the song is truly beautiful. - enjoy the photos!
This is just so beautiful. This album is one of my favourite albums. I LOVE M&M&M, and the songs and music made by these giants. Together they're unbeatable. And the photos of our guy? Sigh...... Thank you Lenore.
Agree, Berit. Masterful composing by Mancini and Mercer- what a team- and delivered at their best by Johnny. His voice and their music are seamless. Glad you enjoyed all of it. You're welcome.
One of my many favorites sung by Johnny. Mesmerizing and haunting, I found myself playing it often and loving it more each time. Thank you for the beautiful selection of pictures - I love looking at Johnny!
you're very welcome- it's quite a special piece. I'm with you-! Looking at Johnny is a wonderful past time! enjoy.
Lovely video as usual, Lenore. I don't remember this song at all. It's haunting and sung beautifully, as always, by JM. Thanks for posting.
thank you, Angela. Interesting - when I was trying to think of words to describe it in the note- "haunting" came to mind. The lyrics are have universal meaning- Johnny- as always - brings the full appreciation through his unique understanding of lyrics- and what they bring to a beautiful melody. glad you enjoyed it.
Oh yes!!! I like!!! I like very much!!! Thankyou xxx
thought you might:) you're welcome- it's a beautiful song- and i do love this whole album- i think Johnny and Henry were perfectly matched. enjoy!
