Midnight Cowboy
Johnny Mathis

This lyrical version did not chart but
In 1969, Ferrante and Teicher's instrumental did, hitting # 10
And greatly outdistancing composer John Barry's competing version which hit only # 116
Main title theme to the 1969 Oscar-winning film starring John Voight and Dustin Hoffman.


(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy)
(He's a lonesome midnight cowboy)

Once his hopes were high as the sky
Once a dream was easy to buy
Soon his eager fingers are burned
Soon life's lonely lessons are learned

	Hearts are made for caring
	Life is made for sharing

Love is all that's left in the end


(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy)
(He's a lonesome midnight cowboy)

<instrumental break, first verse>

	Hearts are made for caring
	Life is made for sharing

Love is all that's left in the end
Love can turn the tide for a friend
Love can hold a dream together
FADE
Love is all
