b/w IT'S NOT FOR ME TO 

SAY

John Royce "Johnny" Mathis (born September 30, 1935) is an American singer of popular music. Starting his career with singles of standards, he became highly popular as an album artist, with several dozen of his albums achieving gold or platinum status, and 73 making the Billboard charts. According to Guinness Book of World Records writer and charts music historian Paul Gambaccini, Johnny Mathis has sold 350 million records worldwide.

"The Twelfth of Never" is a popular song recorded by Johnny Mathis and later by artists including Cliff Richard and Donny Osmond. The song's title comes from the popular expression "the 12th of Never," which is used as the date of a future occurrence that will never come to pass. In the case of the song, the 12th of Never is given as the date on which the singer will stop loving his beloved, thus indicating that he will always love her/him. The song draws a similar link between the cessation of love and a number of other events expected never to happen.

The song was written by Jerry Livingston and Paul Francis Webster, the tune (except for the bridge) being adapted from "The Riddle Song" (also known as "I Gave My Love a Cherry"), an old English folk song. Johnny Mathis's original version reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA in 1957.

 From the film "Lizzie" 

(Written by Hal David / Burt Bacharach)

Make me yours, make me yours, make me yours

When my lips are touching yours, my love

Heaven opens up its doors, my love

Warm and tender soul, warm and tender love

Lips that you grant me just seem to enchant me

We kiss and I know I've been kissed

When I'm lost in your embrace, my love

It's like flyin' into space, my love

Warm and tender soul, warm and tender your

Arms hold me tightly, they thrill and excite me

And I'd be a fool to resist you

The moment you're near my life can start

When we're apart, my life is through

Each single tingle deep down in my heart

Just beats for you, beats for you, beats for you!

With each yearning burning in my soul

Loving only you will be my goal

Warm and tender in sweet surrender I

Offer my lips and I offer my arms and I

Offer my heart that implores

Won't you make me yours?

Make me yours

Make me yours
