Johnny Mathis - That's all

AND A PROMISE TO BE NEAR EACH TIME YOU CALL

Esta canción apareció en el álbum "Heavenly" (1959) de un joven y prometedor Johnny Mathis. Una delícadísima balada de tempo lento, acordes suaves y letra quintaesencialmente romántica, que el sensible cantante articula con voz acariciante y tierna emoción. Es mi tema preferido de su amplio repertorio.

That's all

(Alan Brandt / Bob Haymes)

I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call,
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone,
That's all, that's all.
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall,
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter night,
That's all, that's all.
There are those, I am sure, who have told you
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
That's all, that's all.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
That's all...that's all.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
That's all...that's all
That's all.
