Mathis, Johnny - Play Me Lyrics






She was morning, and I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying beside my bed
I softly said "Come take me"
For I've been lonely in need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere
But I don't know where, I don't know where
Come lately

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me,
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night, and what was right
Became me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

And so it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place, another grace
Would save me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me......

  27. l.... ....

    you are very welcome- i agree- Johnny's gifts are other wordly- and brings so much pleasure to others. Youtube is one great way to keep up with his music- not just my channel but others- of course nothing is better than in person. Feel free to check the channel for other songs. As well- i recommend 2 others if you're not familiar with them: 19rebel57 and readmereadyou.. I think you'll love those as well. Enjoy.

  28. M.... ....

    Thank you for sharing this beautiful song with us. Johnny Mathis is one of the gifts of life. He makes life more beautiful. In France, he still have many fans like me but unfortunately we don't hear his songs very often and we miss him. So thanks again.

  29. M.... D....

    One of his best albums I've ever heard. Me and Mrs Jones is another great one. These albums were around 1973 or 74. Excellent!!

  30. l.... ....

    thank you, Sandra, glad you like it! enjoy:)

  31. S.... P....

    Love it Lenore great photos as well thank you xx


  32. l.... ....

    you're welcome-. It's a wonderful LP and you can find it in MP3 versions online- I do wish it would be re-released and mastered to CD- i think this and "Coming Home" would be a fantastic CD duet set! enjoy.

  33. l.... ....

    So glad you like it Sharon-- seems to be a special song to many- very pleased. Well- if you are a fan of Johnny during this 'beard' stage- (or moment!)- if you peruse the channel- you'll find others. They are taken from the live video- also on the channel of "Three Times A Lady"- on the Parkinson show in UK in the late 70's. Enjoy and thank you for your nice comment- i appreciate it.

  34. 5.... ....

    Thanks, Lenore for this lovely rendition by Johnny. It is one I do not have in my collection.

  35. p.... ....

    Lenore, it's exquisite, just wonderful...especially the beard at the end, I hadn't seen that pic of him bearded. Thanks as always for sharing your talent with us.

  36. l.... ....

    many thanks, Angela:) You never know-- very pleased it's touched a 'chord' with everyone. Ah- such pleasure trying to decide which gorgeous shot to use along the way! enjoy.:)

  37. R.... ....

    Beautiful song and beautiful man. Great job, Lenore. Every photo perfect.

  38. l.... ....

    Thanks, Geraldine- glad you like it- such a fantastic LP. Do hope it makes it to CD. I think this is a "Johnny Mathis' that many people who only know of his earlier classics- are not aware of. Such diversity. You're welcome.

    l.... ....

    you can always get a usb turntable or software to convert LPs to digital so oyu can burn the CD or put it on your ipad or phone etc. I take all of my LPs and put them on DAT tape. I love this song

  39. j.... ....

    Wonderful...as always, Lenore. How can I not love it....one of my favourite tracks and such beautiful pictures...and there's the beard again. Oh my! Thank you!

  40. l.... ....

    that's ok- a little 'over the top' is not a problem! LOL:) fabulous songs on here. thank you for your nice comment. enjoy!

  41. l.... ....

    you're very welcome. very sweet song. Always inspired by Johnny's interpretations. enjoy.

  42. l.... ....

    it is great- I'm tempted to do each song! (not really- but they are all great.) you're very welcome. I have to say I prefer it to Neil Diamond's- but his writing is terrific. enjoy.

  43. s.... ....

    Beautiful,as always. Merci Lenore. Love to all.Thank you for sharing once more.

  44. p.... ....

    Wow I just came home, turned on computer and find this, what a great album, am looking to try to get my copy of this vintage album transferred to CD so I can listen to it. THANKS FOR UPLOADING
