               John Royce Mathis (born September 30, 1935) is an American singer-songwriter of popular music. Starting his career with singles of standard music, 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 to date. Mathis has received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for three separate recordings.

Although frequently described as a romantic singer, his discography includes traditional pop, Brazilian and Spanish music, soul, rhythm and blues, show tunes, Tin Pan Alley, soft rock, blues, country music, and even a few disco songs for his album Mathis Magic in 1979. Mathis has also recorded six albums of Christmas music. In a 1968 interview, Mathis cited Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby among his musical influences.

You'll never know just how much I miss you,

You'll never know just how much I care.

And if I tried

I still couldn't hide

My love for you

You ought to know

For haven't I told you so

A million or more times?

 

You went away and my heart went with you

I speak your name in my every prayer

If there is some other way

To prove that I love you

I swear I don't know how

You'll never know if you don't know now.
