8 Best Johnny Mathis Funeral Songs

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your valentine

In the magic of moonlight
When I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
Chances are you believe the stars
That fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be
The one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

Guess you feel you'll always be
The one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

Chances are your chances are awfully good

Gina, Gina, I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina, Gina
I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina

I remember when we met
In the garden by the sea
You were standing there so sweetly
With your eyes so full of glee
We walked along the shoreline
Hand in hand, so much in love
But I let my foolish pride
Come between us, my dear love

Gina, Gina, I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina, Gina
I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina

Now I'm standing here before you
With a heavy heart and tears
Asking for your forgiveness
And hoping you still care
I know I've caused you pain, love
With the words that I've denied
But I'm ready to make amends
And be forever by your side

Gina, Gina, I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina, Gina
I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina

Gina, Gina, I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina, Gina
I'm sorry I lied
But I love you, Gina

It's not for me to say
You love me
It's not for me to say
You'll always care

Oh, but here for the moment
I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last

As far as I can see
This is heaven
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share

Perhaps the glow of love
Will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

And speaking just for me
It's ours to share

Perhaps the glow of love
Will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty, just holding your hand

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty, the moment you're near

Can't you see that you're leading me on?
And it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you

On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone?
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love

I'm just too misty, and too much in love

You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh, my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happened because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child, black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbor
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon, somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
When a child is born

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare

Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I

What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

The world is full of wondrous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet evening, I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own

And I say to myself, "It's wonderful, wonderful"
Oh, so wonderful, my love

And I say to myself, "It's wonderful, wonderful"
Oh, so wonderful, my love
