Mathis, Johnny - When The World Was Young Lyrics
Ah, the apple trees blossoms in the breeze
That we walked among
Lying in the hay, games we used to play
Wild around the sun only yesterday
When the world was young
While sitting around we often recall
The life of the year, the night of them all
For all of the noise, the talk and the smoke
I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a joke
I walk in a room, a party or ball
There's laughter and lights and wine for us all
And beautiful girls all put to [?]
But often my eyes see a different shine
Wherever [?]
On our backs we'd lie looking at sky
Till the stars were strung only last July
When the world was young
When the world was young

Mathis, Johnny When The World Was Young Comments
When I was a young girl used to fantasize about Johnny rescuing me from my horrible family life taking me to some far off castle. I love this man sooooooo much. What a truly gifted voice. God bless you my love and thanks for being my hero. ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋
This song is from “More Johnny’s Greatest Hits” in 1959, and it was orchestrated by Glenn Osser and produced by Mitch Miller, which was known for his “Sing Along With Mitch” albums.
Glenn Osser did orchestrations for other Columbia artists including Jerry Vale and Van McCoy for his debut album “Night Time Is Lonely Time” In 1966. He was previously arranged for Georgia Gibbs for her hits like “Tweedlee Dee” which was originally a hit for Lavern Baker, and “Tra La La” which was also originally done by Lavern Baker as well.
I still have the 45, and mine is a promo copy which is rare.

Wonderful wonderful Johnny Mathis!
Johnny --- Thank you for "Small World." We courted to it -- ahem -- 57 years ago. We used to rush home from high school to watch you on Milt Grant's show out of DC. My grandmother was 80. She loved you. I was 16. We did, too.
What a beautiful song by the great Johnny Mathis! It brings back so many great memories!!
They called it a boat
The car would float
I was only 10 but I remember
Paula stayed open just for us
We'd stop and get pizza pies with everything on it
It was Royal
The days of big cars nighttime rides into the morning. Over Bridges City Lights
Always on the holidays
Yeah what an era what a song what a singer
This is one of my favorite songs that Johnny Mathis recorded. He sings it with such joy and passion. The words are so meaningful! It is hard to find quality songs like this today!
That marvelous lithe final note.
My all-time favorite male vocalist. He is a master at work, and this is one of his most compelling pieces. Fabulous!
This is terrible. The song plays too fast and makes his voice higher. The record does not sound like this.
Luuuuv this man..
Voice like velvet......
terrific voice
A voice like caramel, just want to dive in mmmmm.
Exquisite!
Johnny voice melts and chills me.
Beautiful.
Hmm -----
amooo todas as musicas dele !!!
For my future wife (Elizabeth).
There is nor will there ever be anyone like him. When Johnny sings a song, any song, it becomes his. His voice takes those of us who love him into another world!
A mind blowing voice!
No one could shade a song like Mr Mathis. He completes every note like no other. Not one hole in his repertoire. In short, simply amazing.
Beautiful voice !! ~ blessed ~~
I think more babies were conceived to his music than any One singer that ever lived. He has one --if not thee most beautiful voices ever! I think he's unwell right now. sad!
One of many eminent men whose name will
live on through the
still lapse of the ages who, for whatever
reasons, produced
no offspring.

Son s of the pioneer s
Saw him in concert in Northern Virginia this past Saturday and he may not be able to hit all the high notes anymore but he can still perform and reach back and put on a great show.
When you think about performers whose songs have had a life-lasting effect, JM come to the fore. His phrasing is perfect; his delivery unique
this could be his best song
no. Misty...
Wonderful, wonderful...
Romance never had a better voice to sing about it than Johnny Mathis.
My Mother just loved him to no end! I think it made papa mad, too...lol
Love this man and his voice!
For my future husband
Fell in love with this man when he was featured on NPR last fall. I think he was on a jazz program hosted by Michael Feinstein. I absolutely fell in love with Johnny's voice and this song in particular. It is now one of my favorites.
All 8 of our children were conceived to I'll Be Home For Christmas!
Please do not remove.
love it!
wow, I think Beiber should listen to this
He wouldn't understandf it!
@PerryDeanfan Exactly!
@jimmy page Forget Beiber, Hell, forget all of today's, nothing will ever beat the originals.
@Jim Thompson you are correct sir
Singing ability is not necessary to become a singing star today. Bieber is a good example of that. None of them can really sing, not like Mr. Mathis. He is a true living legend .
