Nascido em Gilmer, Texas, no dia 30 de Setembro de 1935. Viveu boa parte da sua infância em São Francisco, Califórnia. Mathis começou a cantar publicamente na escola e em eventos da igreja, o pai rapidamente comprovou o talento do filho e providenciou escolas de canto. O pai de Mathis contratou um professor de voz quando ele tinha aproximadamente treze anos. Ele permanece um dos poucos cantores populares que receberam ajuda profissional para cantar e o treino incluiu ópera. Ele também era um talentoso atleta, ganhou quatro cartas atléticas na escola secundária e uma bolsa de estudos para atletas na Faculdade Estadual de São Francisco. Mathis também permaneceu boa parte da sua vida esportiva em São Francisco. Na própria faculdade ele quebrou o recorde mundial de salto alto do basquetebol (o registro mais alto foi de Bill Russell, saltando 1,96 metros). Na ocasião só quatro atletas Olímpicos tinham conseguido alcançar esta altura. Enquanto treinava para se tornar um professor, ele estava mostrando o seu talento a um concerto e assinou através dos Registros de Columbia.

 
My love for you
is deep and endless as the sea.
Strong and mighty as a tree,
my love for you

My eager heart
keeps beating just for you alone,
since the moment it has known
my love for you

There'll be no other lips,
no other arms,
no other love for me.
Feeling as I do
how could there be ?

And so it will be
far beyond eternity.
Ever faithful, ever true,
my love for you

(Orchestral interlude)

So it will be
far beyond eternity.
Ever faithful, ever true,
my love for you,
My love . . .
for you . . .

The loveliness of Paris
seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the bay.
 
I left my heart ...in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me.
To be where little cable cars
climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air
I don't care!
 
My love waits there... in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
your golden sun will shine for me!

"Fly Me to the Moon", originally titled "In Other Words", is a song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. Kaye Ballard made the first recording of the song in 1954. Since then it has become a frequently recorded jazz standard often featured in popular culture. Frank Sinatra's 1964 version was closely associated with the Apollo missions to the Moon.
In 1999, the US-based Songwriters Hall of Fame recognized the importance of "Fly Me to the Moon" by inducting it as a "Towering Song which is an award "...presented each year to the creators of an individual song that has influenced our culture in a unique way over many years.”
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you.

SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME

"Someone to Watch Over Me" is a song composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin from the musical Oh, Kay!(1926), where it was introduced by Gertrude Lawrence. Gershwin originally approached the song as an uptempo jazz tune, but his brother Ira suggested that it might work much better as a ballad, and George ultimately agreed. It has been performed by many artists since its debut and is a jazz standard as well as a key work in the Great American Songbook. It is also referenced in the play Someone Who'll Watch Over Me.
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me.
