Lyrics
Misty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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...
