Mathis, Johnny - Time After Time Lyrics






What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

    Johnny is truly gentle soul, who's sincerity and kindness flow out of him in each and every song he sings. Its for this reason that he touches the deepest places in our memories and touches so many profoundly. Its amazing that he can still bring it at the age of 83.

    to have known Johnny when i was little kid, looking up to him because he was so nice, such a neat person, & then he sang TO ME, the kindness still makes me cry with love for moment of a 9 year old being teased for being different for having auburn hair & freckles, really Johnny thanks for singing & telling me I was/am "Wonderful Wonderful"

  27. J.... ....

    Love you Johnny Mathis xxxxx Susan uk

  28. J.... N....

    Biggest fool ever

    J.... N....

    i have to say your comments make no sense Janet- who are you talking about?

  29. M.... ....

    Lenore, I saw John at NJPAC one week ago. I didn't go to see if he could still hit the high notes. I didn;t care if he couldn't hit the high notes. I was there to honor him for all the beautiful music he has given us over the years. Well, did I get the shock of my life. To say he was amazing is an understatement. I'm still in awe and on cloud nine. My daughter attended with me. She said of all the concerts she has attended with various singers, she has never heard a voice more beautiful. I was so proud. I wanted to tell you this because I know how dedicated you are to Johnny. Thank You again for all those beautiful videos and oh!!! those photos. Heavenly..

  30. j.... ....

    This man is always perfect.

  31. s.... b....

    videos doesn't do this guy justice and imagine seeing it in person would be the ultimate experience, simply one of a kind ..............o

    Me encanta Matis y esta canción por tanto doble gozo

  35. d.... o....

    Incomparible, JM

  36. R.... W....

    The absolute best rendition of a wonderful song!

  37. G.... B....

    Terribly over-orchestrated. Mathis' producer must have not really appreciated nor had confidence in the voice. A great song lost in the sound. Too bad.

  38. A.... S....

    Love to hear this beautiful voice.!! Everything he sings is awesome. !

  39. S.... D....

    Johnny Mathis the best of the best!

  40. a.... m....

    Lindíssimo!!!! Música e intérprete fantástico,amo johnny.

  41. A.... S....

    What is it with Johnny that I want to cry, his voice is so divine, no other singer can move me like him. He is incredible, so romantic, and all that good things that my heart and love for him can express.

  42. F.... L....

    amazing jaheim

    F.... L....

    amazing jonny

  43. A.... S....

    He simply is the best. I will be seeing him again soon.

  44. d.... o....

    Is there any more beautiful singer in music history. He just had a knack for wrapping his vocal chords around a song, and making you dream of that once great romance you had.

  45. E.... G....

    Perfection by a Perfect Singer.

  46. s.... d....

    Hermosisima melodía....cuanto amo esta canción del gran maestro Johnny Mathis....

  47. S.... Y....

    The songs make me cry

    S.... Y....

    Me, too. Sometimes.

    S.... Y....

    Sam Yeung johnny mathis why did I choose you

  48. A.... C....

    My favourite song of all time, beautifully sang. Memories, smile, tears - thank you.-

  49. s.... d....

    Simplemente hermosoooo.... mi voz de terciopelo Johnny Mathis..... te amo infinitamente....

  50. m.... ....

    A W E S O M E...... !!!! Nobody sings this fabulous song better than Johnny Mathis.....LOVE HIM.....!!!

  51. L.... B....

    também gosto do Billy Ekistine

  52. M.... F....

    fantastic! untouchable voice and performance.

    M.... F....

    So precious, so adorable,. And so loved. (erose and philia).

  53. g.... m....

    quisera eu parar o tempo, para que outras gerações apreciasssem este timbre, esta melodia este som! Mathis!

  54. C.... H....

    Absolutely the most amazing singer. Why does he not have a Kennedy Center Honor?

  55. C.... M....

    As far as I am concerned Johnny's phrasing in all that he sings is what gives him that special sound and his ability to hold the notes together because of that phrasing especially the last note, where the whole meaning of the song is captured.

  56. l.... ....

    what a voice

  57. l.... ....

    fantastic

  58. D.... O....

    This brings back memories of my first date and first love, only to be left with a broken heart, nearly sixty years ago. still wonderful memories and I'd give anything to be back there. You still got it Johnny!

    D.... O....

    Dennis, I can appreciate what you say about your first love. This happened to me also in the mid 1950s. I recently moved back to my home town of New Orleans after twenty-five years of being away. I occasionally drive by her house and it all comes back. I then have to deal with the feeling of melancholy that overtakes me. I guess we never get over some things.

  59. j.... ....

    Johnny is great on this. By the way, so is the guitarist, whoever that may be. Just great!

    j.... ....

    Probably Gil Reigers, who is fantastic!

    We will never have another Johnny Mathis, he is the only one with this kind of voice.  He is magical, mystical Johnny Mathis.  We love you forever.

    A.... S....

    I never saw another that even comes close to him. He can sing anything and make it his own. I will join your timeline. Thank you for inviting me.

    A.... S....

    No one comes close to him. He is truly incomparable!

  61. A.... S....

    Johnny Mathis is Magic. How can he sing casually, so angelic, and yet captivate the audience.  He sings effortless, and the impact Is so great, audience love him.

    A.... S....

    He is magic! And I live down the street from him! How lucky can a girl get?!

  62. C.... N....

    não me canso de ouvi-lo

    C.... N....

    I h loved Johnny Mathis all of my life no one else can come close to his soundtha!no you Johnny for the pleasure your singing has given me through these years

  63. B.... P....

    saw sir john this past july 16 in pittsburgh pa. this amazing singer was a perfect 10 and yes he hit the high note perfectly on misty

    B.... P....

    Brooke, you are so lucky to be living in the same country as this legend. We will never see him here Down Under

    B.... P....

    hey dennis there in down under. i saw your comment 10 months later,i suggest you write and ask this american and global icon to come down under. he is so much a gentleman the worst he and his managers can say is no. ask....you never know...no suprise he is that popular half way around the planet!

  64. D.... R....

    time after time Matt Monro

  65. M.... ....

    Way, way way too much vibrato.

  66. M.... J....

    Won't ever quite be able to express the happiness I have gotten from listening to Johnny Mathis. Thank you Johnny for giving us such beauty for all these years.

  67. S.... ....

    Saw Johnnie and Henry as a teen 45 years ago at was then called the Garden State Arts Center. It was still an era of cherishing the sweet, sincere, and honorable sentiments that resided in the human breast. Johnnie's extraordinarily unique and beautiful sound and Henry's rich orchestral arrangements are a cultural treasure.

  68. s.... n....

    Tonight I listened to several renditions of this classic (Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn, Shirley Bassey, Chet Baker). This version by Johnny Mathis is my favorite so far and by far. Johnny's vocals are perfect. Wonderful orchestral arrangement.

  69. C.... M....

    A superlative rendition of this beautiful ballad by Johnny, there will never, ever be the likes of Sammy Cahn, Julie Styne, Cole Porter, etc  ever again, or in my life time, at 78 I am blessed to have grown up (In my opinion) in the best musical decades ever, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and so on.
    Where the hell can you find music today of this calibre, thank you, YouTube for giving us this kind of nostalgia.
    Sleep warm you guys. 

    C.... M....

    Thank you all, (there are too many of you) for your kind words and support I am grateful for your being there and I am so thrilled that you all enjoy my personal choices, bless you all.

  76. M.... R....

    This song is one of the prettiest sung by Johnny Mathis

  77. l.... ....

    Lucky you! They are still mesmerized all these years later! This is one of my favorites from The Hollywood Musicals CD- well worth owning. Thanks for dropping by- enjoy.

  78. 8.... ....

    Saw him perform at the Copa in NY a couple times........he had everyone in audience completely mesmerized!

  79. l.... ....

    this and "Long Ago and Far Away' are my very favorites on this album. Johnny sings it to perfection. What a sweet thing to do:)

  80. S.... S....

    I love this song no matter who sings it, but when I bought this album, I called my girl at 2:00 AM and played it for her to hear. Those were the days.

  81. A.... S....

    Conhecia esta música com Plácido Domingo, amava, agora, amo mais, esta interpretação suave ficou divina!

  82. G.... M....

    Adoro J..Mathis. Que saudade dos bailes que ia na década de 60.Essa música é um clássico do cancioneiro americano.

  85. m.... ....

    I LOVE this song especially sung by Johnny Mathis he's wonderful... !!! Thanks for posting. WOW.... this is so awesome.

  86. P.... N....

    Uma das mais belas e educadas vozes do cancioneiro americano.

  87. c.... ....

    very beautiful song this is one of my favorite songs i like nancy wilsons also but his a one of a kind just like him self beautiful voice beautiful man thanks for posting

  88. l.... ....

    very nice story. He is - from the few times I've met him- a very humble, kind person- quite unusual. i'm sure he loved the effort. Thanks for sharing.

  89. l.... ....

    you're welcome- it's a classic- and only Johnny can deliver it this way. enjoy

  90. B.... ....

    I met Johnny Mathis when I tuned the piano at a certain hotel where he was to perform. A twelve piece orchestra was put together for the occasion. The piano was a load of junk! Scotty, Johnny's MD was content not to use it! The following year, I got the hotel to hire a grand piano. When Mathis arrived I said "See that Johnny? I got that just for you!" He was so delighted, and thanked me profusely! I met him on two subsequent occasions. He is a very "down-to-to earth" and considerate gentleman.

  91. l.... ....

    i adore this song- just love it- so i'm with you! enjoy.

  92. l.... ....

    you're right- he is in a class by himself- always has been and will be and there will never be another like him.

  93. l.... ....

    sorry i didn't see your comment until now-- thank you for posting it. I love the collaboration of Mathis and Mancini- they 'play' off and with each other beautifully.- and this is such a classic song- perfect for Johnny. enjoy

  94. K.... S....

    Thank you for posting and reminding the world of the great writers and singers of America. Johnny has always been a class act and with this arrangement we heard the "vocal refrain" naturally the added magic of Mr. Mancini neatly featured in the body of the performance. I agree with the microphone technique saw John in SF many moons ago, a true master.

  95. l.... ....

    @nancieforeman - Heck no. This is still some terrific man- he's wonderful in person. Glad you liked it- how could you not. I never realized what "microphone technique' was until watching JM and hearing others say what a master he is at using one. enjoy.

  96. l.... ....

    @gemeyes2 - you're welcome, Jane. I adore this song- and no one sings it like Mr. M.:)

  97. g.... ....

    Thanks for the beautiful Johnny song and pictures...Just love him.. Jane in Ohio USA

  98. N.... F....

    Beautiful Voice and Beautiful Song. No Geezer At All. Try singing into a microphone. You'll See. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh . Simply Gorgeous !

  99. l.... ....

    @robertosansing -É a música mais bonita e Johnny entregá-la - como sempre com seu próprio nível único de emoção. Seus dons são surpreendentes. - Abrigado, Roberto
