Misty

Ray Stevens

(Erroll Garner/Johnny Burke)



Covered many times, this song has had at least

four top 40 appearances, with one of the best-known

by Johnny Mathis in 1959. Ray's "country-fied" version

peaked at #14 in 1975, and gave him his second Grammy.



Look at me

I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree

Ah, I'm walkin' on a cloud

I can't understand, Lord

I'm misty holdin' 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, Lord

I'm misty the moment you're near



You can say that you're leadin' me on

But it's just what I want you to do

Don't ya notice how hopelessly I'm lost

That's why I'm followin' you



Ooh, on my own

Should I wander through this wonderland alone, now

Never knowin' my right foot from my left

My hat from my glove, Lord

I'm misty, and too much in love



You can say that you're leadin' me on

But it's just what I want you to do

Don't ya notice how hopelessly I'm lost

That's why I'm followin' you



Ooh, on my own

Should I wander through this wonderland alone, now

Never knowin' my right foot from my left

My hat from my glove, Lord

I'm misty, and too much in love



(Misty) too much in love

(Misty) too much in love

(Misty)

(Misty) too much in love...
