When I was 14 I would sing this to the girls. God, I was such a mushy kid. But it is a very pretty song. Sung sweetly by a very warm and generous man.
this kind of music will never be the same ever again. it was a golden era that has slipped away,and will be very much missed but never forgotten. sweet dreams.
song is awesome i am 15 years old and i love old music like this and 70's music. i cant stand todays music, you can't even try to compare this music to todays music.
Oh ! the lyrics are so profound, its not me trying so hard to make you happy with me ,but I am happy because I am with you , we create our destiny ,These words would be beautiful in a wedding vow, I'am sure many use it. I do hope that Mr.Mathis was talking about himself as well
One of the most beautiful and romantic songs ever written, composed and sung so beautifully by Johnny Mathis. Especially the line, 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." Thanks for posting. I love this song.
A lovely song about love making us more than we thought we could be. The two individuals are better because they are together. How wonderful that is. Thank you for the post.
This song features Johnny at his magical best!!! He was at this prime when he recorded it and it fifty-plus years later, it still sounds so sweet! This is an eternal song for lovers and those who hope to find that true love someday since it gives you hope. The arrangement, lyrics and Johnny's gifted and passionate voice all come together like a fine glass of wine! Thanks for the memories, Johnny, and for sharing your musical gift! And thanks for posting!!!!
I know I heard this song when I was a kid, but I was too young then to tell it was Johnny's. Your videos (that always tell a story) and all the infos you add with each song and of course that distinctive 'Mathis voice', renewed my interest in his music. Good job as always and thanks again!
This has "love and romance" written all over it "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" that's romantic and Johnny Mathis added his "Mathis magic" to this song
Angela, I can't believe I am so touched by two songs today that I want to comment in public. Thisone completely defines my "first love " and exactlywhat he meant to me. I was in co llege and learninng with eyes wide o pen what my contemporaries considered "love". I decided for me it was just being in the presense of someonen I loved. afsahiba
BEAUTIFUL song! I was listening to Johnny Mathis Greatest Hits on vinyl and had to see if anyone had uploaded the song to YouTube. Bingo... here it is! Thank you!
besides the great tunes you can learn a lot, ive been a music lover many years,the comments are a great ides,hell ive learned more in here than in school lol
One of my all time favorite artist one of my top 5 all time songs .what a wonderful treat to see this come up. does any one have the song warm by him? I'm adding this to my come back favorites.------
Yes, there is a video up by someone else of Johnny singing, "Warm" which is one of my top favorites, as well. Just type it on top in the youtube search. Thanks for coming by.
When I am With You was also recorded on Johnny's 1993 album "The Music Of Johnny Mathis." The melody was written by Benjamin Weisman and the lyrics by Al Stillman
As always- beautiful selection and while challenging as you say to 'frame perfection' you have done wonderful justice in bringing this song to life. Thank you!
Oh my, your video, the music and your wonderfully perfect images touched me deeply.
Thanks so much!
