The Music Of Johnny Mathis - A Personal Collection lyrics

Stairway To the Sea (Scalinatella)
Johnny Mathis
Written by Enzo Bonagura, Albert Askew Beach, and Giuseppe Cioffi

This song did not chart

Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea
And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me, watching the sea
I see us there upon the stairway to the sea

Hello, I don't even know your name, but I'm hopin' all the same

This is more than just a simple hello.

Hello, do I smile and look away? No, I think I'll smile and stay

To see where this might go.

'Cause the last time I felt like this, I was falling in love,

Falling and feeling, I'd never fall in love again.

Yes, the last time I felt like this, was long before I knew

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, 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

You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
