What Will Mary Say
When I Am With You
Johnny Mathis
Words and Music by Al Stillman and Benjamin Weisman
-From his LP "JOHNNY’S GREATEST HITS", which debuted
on the Billboard chart in April 1958 and spent over 9 YEARS in the Top 100.)
When I am with you any dream that I may dream comes true
Any star in the sky I can buy with a sigh when I am with you
Whenever we meet, whatever the sweet occasion
Where angels won’t go, I go with no persuasion.
When I am with you I am nothing I was before
I am everything I ever wished I could be and more
So it’s not just for what you are yourself that I love you as I do
But for what I am when I am with you.
<instrumental interlude)
So it’s not just for what you are yourself that I love you as I do
But for what I am when I am with you.
