Mathis, Johnny - Blue Gardenia Lyrics






A flower
reminds me
A place you use to walk too
now did given finds me
with only
a flower to talk too

Blue gardenia
now I'm alone with you
and I am oh so blue
she has tossed us aside,
and like you...

Gardenia
once I was near her heart
after the teardrops start
where are teardrops to hide

I lived for an hour
what more can I tell
love bloomed like a flower
then the petals fell

Blue gardenia
thrown to a passing breeze
but rest in my book
of memories

I lived for an hour
What more can I tell
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia
thrown to a passing breeze
but rest in my book
of memories

Mathis, Johnny Blue Gardenia Comments
  1. H.... A....

    I get misty...

  2. C.... M....

    Ouvir Jhonny Mathis é flutuar em nuvens, voltar ao passado feliz e de uma vida tranquila onde o amor era puro, saudades ...

  3. C.... J....

    I love gardenias are my favorite I wanted they for my wedding that will come they so beautiful

  4. B.... Y....

    Nobody can touch him!

  5. p.... r....

    The orchestra here is very typical to Johnny's earlier recordings, helping to make each one so inviting and long-lasting; they still sound fresh. Johnny Mathis has to be a National Treasure.

  6. M.... M....

    Coming in at just
    under 5 minutes,
    it is one of Mr, Mathis' longest
    recordings, and worth every second of it!😃😃

  7. I.... L....

    Essa música me trás boas lembranças da minha época de estudo, quando colocava na Alta Fidelidade da casa o LP dele. Foi uma época que não volta mais!

  8. e.... ....

    LOOP THIS THE NIGHT THAT YOU FALL IN LOVE AND DON'T STINT ON THE AMOUNT OF SURROUND SOUND SPEAKERS!

  9. A.... C....

    Johnny Mathis, FOREVER !!!!!!
    No one like him!

  10. I.... L....

    Essa e outras dele, me fazem recordar os dias em que estudava na sala da minha casa ouvindo esse que considero o melhor cantor americano. Foi uma época da minha juventude que jamais esquecerei.

  11. M.... K....

    I will always link Johnny Mathis to my first notion of what grown up love would be like. Love you Mr. Wonderful.

  12. I.... S....

    O QUE FALAR DE JOHNNY ???
    MUITA CLASSE !

    Beautiful song ,
    Beautiful arrangement,
    performed with consummate skill.
    I have loved this song since a child when it was
    part of my late Mothers record collection.

  14. A.... S....

    Another one I just heard today.  Gardenia is my favorite flower.  My late husband always brought me Gardenia.  Thank you for this beautiful song Johnny.

  15. d.... ....

    "Blue Gardenia thrown to the passing breeze,But pressed in my Book of Memories."I contemplate this.  Would she have been so callous as to throw the flower to the breeze in his presence?  Would he have followed her, just to catch the last glimpse of her as she disappeared into the night, only to be crushed at the sight of her so cavalierly throwing it away, then running to retrieve and preserve it when she was out of sight?One must be stout-hearted to run the gauntlet, to endure the crucible, of unrequited love.

  16. R.... M....

    Começaram juntos e reinariam até hoje se Elvis não tivesse embarcado para outro plano Astral.A idade é a mesma.Os dois maiores interpretes que conheci.

    R.... M....

    Sugiro que você inclua Jamelão em sua lista, da qual concordo também (em tempo - inclua Sinatra).

  17. R.... w....

    There's nobody like Johnny he's simply the best

    R.... w....

    ur using Tina turner lyrics😂👌

    Ambassador Hotel.

    I was six years old when the "Faithfully" album was introduced to my household.. by my mom. singing along with Johnny in her beautiful contralto voice. An astonishing brilliant follow-up to the transcendent "Heavenly" album.. again, pairing Johnny with the amazing arrangements of Glenn Osser... this song (and album) transported me into the truth of what music COULD be. My life has always been richer because I heard it. Leroy Jackson Burgess.

  20. D.... W....

    Haven't heard Blue Gardenia is sooooo long.  I have the old album Faithfully.  It was my mother's. I have over 50 albums of Johnny in my collection.  Wish  could get some of the real oldies on CD.  Especially Live in Las Vegas.  Such a wonderful singer. 

  21. J.... B....

    The most romantic singer of all time IMHO.

  22. c.... h....

    It was my pleasure to have lived this song when this album came out...I snatched up every album he made.  I have sung this song for years.  It so reminds me of all the loves of my life and particularly the one I had while listening to this song by the master JM.  always pressed in my book of memories...

  23. E.... A....

    Please tell me where you are, i am coming to picking you up, but please,don t tell me you are still just in my dreams.  thanks for the video.

  24. J.... B....

  25. M.... ....

    My favorite rendition of this song! Thank you for posting. I have this LP, but I wish this selection was available in MP3 on Amazon. I think I will buy the CD. Johnny's was also my favorite rendition of "Small World" from the Sondheim musical GYPSY.
