Mathis, Johnny - Once Lyrics






Once in a while will you try to give
One little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?

Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

    I met Mr. Mathis a couple of years ago in Raleigh NC after his concert. He was such a gracious and wonderful man. He was being driven away and saw me run up to the car and he had his driver stop. He gladly autographed my vintage albums and answered my questions. He also let me get my photo taken with him! What a classy man.

    God bless you Johnny Mathis artists like you will live for ever.

  39. j.... t....

    How many times can it be said ,this man is simply the best singer we have ever had ,his vocals are so rich his covers of classics is  unbelievable .

  40. M.... S....

    Johnny é um "Midas", onde põe sua bela voz é certa a renovação da música. Obrigado Johnny...

  41. E.... C....

    This another one I missed. Never heard Johnny Mathis do Doo Wop. But with his beautiful voice, I guess he could sing anything.

  42. a.... m....

    Platters song is even more wonderful by my guy  Johnny (there isn't a song this man dose not make magic     sing it Johnny   oh! yes   going to be 82 come September   my favorite singer of all time

  43. j.... s....

    how could you possibly give this a thumbs down ????

  44. J.... C....

    All of Johnny's songs remind me of my teenage years, the best years of my love life.

  45. G.... W....

    I'm pretty sure Connie Francis had a hit with this, around 1956 or 1957.  I think I was in sixth grade.

    G.... W....

    have you checked to see if she had a hit with this or not?

    G.... W....

    If she did, I haven't found it (haven't looked up her discography yet). When I was a preteen, I could mimic her voice pretty nearly perfectly, and I sang this song a lot. I ended up with a teaching minor in choral music (BA in English).

  46. A.... S....

    He brings back old memories. Johnny is the best.

  47. R.... F....

    Simplesmente maravilhoso, sem palavras!!!!!

  48. A.... S....

    We are still so much in love with Johnny. He is the only singer that touches my heart and soul.

    A.... S....

    There are quite a few singers that touch my heart but Johnny is among them. Timi Yuro can move me for example. Her version of "Smile" or "I Apologize" are very emotional.

  49. R.... N....

    The very best voice in the world! And this song are beautifull.

  50. A.... B....

    Great Johnny but Jack Jones is better

  51. J.... P....

    Johnny and Doo Wop. Relax. Take things easy, and dream.

  52. C.... H....

    Great sound by Johnny. What a gift he is. Have loved him and his music since 1958.\

  53. B.... B....

    Bill Johnson I played that really loved lt you seem to have the same taste in music,thanks so much for that they all seem to conjure up wonderful memories

  54. J.... D....

    Doo wop by Johnny! I really like this rendition. Johnny sure enough does it justice. The video is great too; it expresses the song perfectly. Wonderful job on the video.

  55. D.... O....

    Brings back wonderful memories of early loves and times we spent at Luna Park Saturday nights. Teenage years back then were times to treasure for all time. You still connect Johnny

  56. P.... H....

    what a beutiful song by J.M.

  57. B.... B....

    Although nearly 80 JM still makes my heart miss a beat especially this one it takes me back to my young days lovely memories

    B.... B....

    +Barbara Ball I remember those days... dancing closely together to our favorite songs and singers. Check out Linda Ronstadt singing "I get sentimental over you" and I think that you'll like it. When your heart skips a beat....it means that you're alive and that you still appreciate those things that make you feel good. Having said that...have a nice day!

    B.... B....

    +Barbara Ball Forgive me...I mean't Sentimental Reasons with Nelson Riddle and Orchestra backing up Ms. Ronstadt.

    B.... B....

    My heart does not miss a beat but he still sings well.

    B.... B....

    You bet Barbra... 😜Thank you🙄😳🆗just Once In A WHILE😜

    B.... B....

    Everyone feel same I guess... It's always nice to reminisce beautiful memories!!! 💯🆗

  58. I.... S....

    JOHNNY PRÁ SEMPRE EM NOSSAS MEMÓRIAS !
    SALVE JOHNNY !!!

  59. A.... S....

    I remember the Jukebox, Doris Day, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Mathis sang this so beautifully, awesome, but I do not know if I am sad or what.  It has been a long time, I was so young then, when I saw Johnny Mathis, so young a very good looking. Bringing back the hands of time Johnny, makes me sad but feeling young.  Thank you for the beautiful music.

    A.... S....

    Anita, maybe the memories are bittersweet, like the song.

  60. B.... B....

    This album is available on cd and throughly enjoyable. It's out of print but you can find pre- owned copes on Amazon and eBay. It's worth it!

    B.... B....

    Bill Brimmer, Thanks Bill. I will buy it.ASAP

    B.... B....

  65. B.... B....

    I listen to this beautiful music and extraordinary lyrics and my heart and soul go out to D..D......

    B.... B....

    Bobby Batista, I feel that same way, about this song.

  66. L.... M....

    Wonderful singer
    So handsome and a gentleman. Ahh the memories

  67. G.... Z....

    Back in 56/57/58/59/60 when I was a young Disc Jockey in Bakersfield California KGEE 1240, I played as much of Johnny Mathis that I could get away with when on the air.  Never a bad interpretation by Johnny of everything he recorded.

    G.... Z....

    What did you do next? Being a DJ sounds like fun.

  68. V.... W....

    reminds me of the good ole days

  69. p.... A....

    Johnny's great but I still like the chimes version better.

  70. R.... ....

    Hello, Marie. It's a small world on the Internet. Amazing how you found me because there are so many videos up on other channels of JM. God bless and nice to hear from you.

  82. M.... C....

    I know that beautiful couple in the video A & M. Hey Little lady, we played together as kids. I am Frances's daughter M. I love this video and so does Serena next door. "YES" Johnny Mathis is and will always be my all time top favorite singer!

  83. G.... C....

    Sweetheart Shariffah,,,once in a while,,,only one little thought of me,,,because I Love You!

  84. R.... ....

    I sometimes wonder if Johnny has any idea how many lives he has touched in so many ways. Probably not. Thanks for sharing part of your story.

  85. w.... t....

    Johnny has been one of my all-time favorites for years. He went to sea with me when I was in the Navy. Almost every night he was on my tape player and sang to me while I fell to sleep with planes landing about 20 feet over my head on an aircraft carrier.

    w.... t....

    Wes? Seriously man? That's awesome.

  86. J.... E....

    Loved the video...Johnny is smooth..!

  87. J.... H....

    awesome voice

  88. J.... H....

    love this guy

  89. K.... S....

    Beautiful! Touching video.

  90. W.... ....

    In case you doin't know, that's Take Six backing Johnny, just as they did when he sang " On The Outside Looking In", the masterpiece from '64, by Anthony & Thge Imperials, written by Tony Randazzo, & Arranged / produced, by Don Costa. Johnny did it nicely--I know, as I have this Album. Wolfsky9

  91. R.... ....

    I understood you. Have a great day.

  92. j.... ....

    That comment didn't exactly turn out like I wanted it to. No I wasn't hitting the bottle. I meant to say I didn't know he recorded that song and that doo wop has been my favorite kind of music.

  93. j.... ....

    WOW. I didn't know that the great Johnny Mathis . And singing doo wop no less which iPad been my favorite music genera since I was a preteen. Thank you for posting it.

  94. R.... ....

    You're welcome. And, thank you for coming by and commenting.

  95. R.... ....

    @Writeowl You're welcome. Happy you enjoyed it. The last two photos are not me and my husband. Just the beginning.

  96. W.... ....

    Great video, very well put together. Especially loved the photos of the couple. Assuming that they are of yourself and your husband/partner, you make a very attractive couple! I hope you are both well and enjoying life :-). And thank you for a lovely video.

  97. R.... M....

    I was and I still am a Doo Wop fan. I love it !! Thank you for this wonderful video.

  98. R.... ....

    @49kasey Yes, a lot are. It's actually a lot of fun hearing them as doo wop which were once old standards before the fities.

  99. S.... K....

    A lot of doo wop songs are covers and re-makes of old standards, you'd be surprised.
