John Royce "Johnny" Mathis (born September 30, 1935) is an American singer 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.

Although he is frequently described as a romantic singer, his discography includes traditional pop, Brazilian, Spanish, soul, rhythm and blues, soft rock, show tunes, Tin Pan Alley, blues, country, 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. 

There ain't no future in it, Evie

We never should begin it, Evie

Someone's already written a song for you

You're so right for me

But I'm all wrong for you

If time was half a niceguy, Evie

We might have had a nice try, Evie

But sometimes a single moment

Changes all the ones that follow

And though it's doom'd and damm'd and dying

Something in me won't stop trying

Evie it's all up to you

But sometimes a single moment

Changes all the ones that follow

And though it's doom'd and damm'd and dying

Something in me won't stop trying

Evie it's all up to you.
