Mathis, Johnny - After The Rain Lyrics






After we love, we bathe in the glow
Rememb'ring what happened a moment ago
Like after the rain, when the wind breathes a sigh
While it's resting on pillows of sky.

Deep in your arms, it's peaceful and warm
Together we lie in a calm that comes after a storm
In a moment or two, we can hear the stars coming through
I love the quiet right after the rain here with you.

After the rain, the birds wanna fly
The trees all in green hang the leaves out to dry
Like puddles and pools, what your eyes let me see
Are their loving reflections of me.

After a while, you touch me and then
I feel like a flower that longs for a shower again
And then lost in a kiss, I could stay for hours like this
Though I don't know just what magic the raindrops contain
I know that everything's wonderful after the rain.

    What a fantasy that Johnny Mathis makes come alive. I think of my son's house on the coast of Spain that l spent alot of time at. The rain would come and then the birds would fly over the ocean. It was pure magic. Your music calms my 💓

    Lovely!

    Some may disagree, but I think that this is best song he ever recorded.

    E.... H....

    You may be right, but he has so many beautiful choices, it's difficult to pick just one.  :)

  9. C.... H....

    This is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with a fan of this man since 1958.

    I love this album and this song is outstanding

  12. M.... O....

    Essas foram as melodias que embalaram a minha adolescência . . . Doces recordações .

  13. I.... B....

    I love the music of Michel Legrand and have written a piece in his style. It's called Waltz for Mrs K and is on YouTube.

  14. P.... N....

    imprtessionante! lindo!

  15. l.... ....

    So beautifully, poetically put. Actually, Johnny's music and all that it evokes is a 'drug' of 'choice'-. I am sure you get my meaning. Let's say - as many have- it has wonderful healing qualities. You are so very welcome. I always enjoy hearing from you and appreciate all that you share in return. Blessings to you.

  16. s.... ....

    When Johnny sings,he takes you "there",spins you beyond the places that you have only been able to travel in the dream mists.Sometimes,Lenore,it is slightly difficult to want to find my way "back".Such a pleasure that Johnny makes it possible for me to experience.(No,I do not use drugs).Thank you for your love of sharing.

  17. l.... ....

    i love this whole CD - i've said it multiple times- and the lyrics by the Bergman's are exquisite. On the liner notes Johnny calls them 'poets' or might have heard in an interview. They certainly are. And the music - exquisite- the composition and Johnny's gorgeous emotional interpretation. glad you like it too!

  18. 7.... ....

    Oh my goodness, what delicious lyrics sung by the best voice in the world. Lovely, really lovely. Thank you, Lenore.

  19. l.... ....

    @lenoremewton Wow, I have been listening to your channel and never realized how many songs by Johnny I've missed over the years. Thank you so much for providing this lovely music that gives me and others many hours of enjoyment.

  20. l.... ....

    @luvmusic581 - i'm happy to hear you say that while you were 'raised' in Johnny's wonderful earlier music- you appreciate these 'newer' pieces- not so new anymore- but his voice depth has changed and they way he sings some of the songs on this CD- some which he sang in the 70's or earlier - are very different- b/c these are highly emotional- it's worth listening to the others and buying the mp3s- of not the CD itself- which again i adore. Enjoy. you're welcome- labor of love

  21. l.... ....

    @lenoremewton Thanks so much. I did not think I would be able to find those songs I am an old fan of JM, just a few years younger than he is. As a teenager I bought many of his first albums; WARM and others. I was so amazed at the quality of his voice that I decided to study voice for a few years but I waited too long and could never overcome stage fright. I did sing solos in the choir at my church for awhile years. We need artists like him now. The music we hear today is not for me.

  22. l.... ....

    @luvmusic581 - Hi- the CD you want to find is "How Do You Keep The Music Playing" 1993. Not to self advertise- but you'll find a few more of these songs on my channel- "On My Way to You" ., "How Do you Keep the Music Playing',"What are you Doing The rest of your life" - it's so unique- the CD- it's a wonderful collaboration of gifts between the Bergman's, Legrand and Johnny. Enjoy!

  23. l.... ....

    @lenoremewton I will definitely be looking for the CD with "After the Rain". I also love Johnny's version of "Never Let Me Go" and have been unable to find it. I spend lots of time listening to his music online just about every day. Thanks again for downloading many of his best songs.

  24. l.... ....

    @luvmusic581 i had not either before this CD- if you've not heard the whole CD- it's worth owning- i repeat this often b/c it's so true- he sings with such emotion and passion- you're welcome- enjoy.

  25. l.... ....

    I have never heard this song before but I cannot imagine anyone else singing it now that I've hear Johnny's version. Thanks so much for downloading this for all to enjoy.

  26. l.... ....

    @Northshoreman1 i understand that westbury is 'the' place to really see Johnny in his relaxed self- he has such a long history there- great that you are able to go. Enjoy.

  27. l.... ....

    @Northshoreman1 - as my mother used to say "we're not all FORDS"- we like different things- diversity. I love the way Johnny sings this whole CD- it has the most compassion in it- he caresses the words - it's a perfect marriage of all their gifts. I love Barbara- always have - and she sings the song- not the emotions- fabulous voice- just my thoughts.

  28. l.... ....

    @oneoldknight - sounds very special- music transports us to so many places and experiences- I find. Johnny particularly -for so many- makes the past and the present come 'alive'- Enjoy your reverie.

  29. l.... ....

    @35777 - have had romantic men and women here- did guess you were a woman:) You're very welcome- creating these and sharing live videos- are one way I can express my appreciation to Johnny for all he's brought to my life- and for so many others. - enjoy the beach!

  30. l.... ....

    @35777 - hmm- is this an invitation, a poem, or - ah, yes, and invite to JM! Hope he's listening:) enjoy.

  31. l.... ....

    @genierenee1029 - I'm so glad! Wonderful to hear these are new pieces for you- it was for me initially. I've repeated this endlessly- I LOVE this CD- so worth owning. The collaboration between these 4 is absolute genius. Please enjoy and thank you for commenting and coming by:)

  32. l.... ....

    @gemeyes2 - glad you enjoy them- they are a pleasure to make and share.

  33. g.... ....

    Thank you sooooooooo much for posting all these wonderful videos of my favorite singer in the whole wide world.. Some I never thought I'd ever "see" him sing until you posted them...there are not enough hours in the day to view all of them..I never, ever tire of his voice - plus he is extremely handsome! Hugs. Jane

  34. l.... ....

    @gemeyes2 glad you enjoyed it. lovely song- love the CD. nice memories. enjoy

  35. g.... ....

    Our gift from God, for all the world to treasure. I've never heard a more beautiful singer in all my life. What a gem. I was lucky enough to have met Johnny Mathis for a quick picture..he even kissed me.. He even autographed that enlarged photo (16 x 20 I blew it up), 10 years later...very eloquently I might add. I love him so.

  36. l.... ....

    @mimibella12 - you're very welcome- i love this song (i say that so much!)- it was unknown to me before i heard Johnny sing it-. He brings such elegance and heart to these songs by the Bergmans and Legrand. He is the absolute perfect person to express their artistry- - a combined symphony by all of them. Enjoy.

  37. m.... ....

    Thank you for giving us another great song by Johnny. He is the best!

  38. l.... ....

    @haroldhill1000 - Thank you very much for sharing the details of the song- look forward to hearing it.

  39. l.... ....

    @haroldhill1000 - Haroldhill of Music Man fame? thank you for the information re: Johnny's earlier recording of After the Rain. If I can locate it i'd love to hear it- . This whole CD, though, as i've said- is all very poignant and beautifully song and arranged- I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you

  40. l.... ....

    @maureen1938 - so glad you like it- you're welcome- I had never heard it before this CD- which I love! I could easily create a video for each of these songs- because the way Johnny sings them on this album- is different than the way he has sung (some ) of these before- I think it was the collaboration with the Bergman's and Michel LeGrand- who orchestrations are throughout. Lovely, lovely. Thank you for commenting:)

  41. m.... ....

    Thank you for sending this outstanding version of a truly awesome song.....Johnny Mathis is definately one of the best.

  42. l.... ....

    @wildpoppies - Thank you so very much for your thoughtful words -it means a lot- as well for sharing your poetry of appreciation. Beautifully said. Please enjoy.

  43. l.... ....

    @johneunson - Religious experience- what a great way to express it- in those soft gentle 'rain mist' moments of song, it does have a spiritual quality. Amazing CD- and - well- what do critics know. They take themselves too seriously sometimes- I think. The real 'appreciators' are the fans- and many loved this CD-. It can be purchased as a CD or individual songs by MP3- but why have 'some' when you can have 'all'??? Thanks so much- you're very welcome.

  44. l.... ....

    @Hetty4u - you are so welcome. I am thrilled that people are enjoying this-and so pleased to see the appreciation people have for this marvelous pairing of talent. Thanks so much for your comments. Enjoy!

  45. J.... E....

    one of my all time favourite albums, the critics hated it,. this was a marriage made in heaven. johnny lives the lyric, making listening an almost religeous experience. this was one of the best tracks. thank you for posting this.

  46. H.... H....

    BEAUTIFUL
    THANK YOU!!!
