Molte delle canzoni che Mercer scrisse e cantò tra il 1930 e il 1950 divennero successi commerciali. Nel corso della sua carriera, Mercer scrisse il testo per più di millecinquecento canzoni, che comprendevano spettacoli di Broadway e film. Ricevette inoltre diciannove nomine agli Oscar, vincendone quattro. Mercer fu anche cofondatore della Capitol Records. Wikipedia

Johnny Mercer

Song "I Remember You" (1941)

“Skylark,
Have you seen a valley green with Spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying,
Over the shadows in the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight,
Haven't you heard the music in the night,
Wonderful music,
Faint as a will-o-the-wisp,
Crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.”

Johnny Mercer

Song "Skylark" (1942)

“There's a long goodbye,
and it happens every day,
when a passerby
invites your eye
to come away.
Even as you smile a quick hello
you let her go,
you let the moment fly…
Too late you turn your head,
you know you've said
the Long Goodbye.”

You met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody”

Lead us lest too far we wander.
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder.”
