John Taylor Johnston was an American businessman and patron of the arts. He served as President of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and was the founding president of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
John Taylor Johnston was born on April 8, 1820, the eldest child of John Johnston, a prominent businessman (of Boorman, Johnston, & Co.) and patron of the arts in New York City, and Margaret Taylor Howard, widow of Rhesa Howard, Jr., nephew of William Few, Signer of the U.S. Constitution from Georgia whose brother-in-law was U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin. Besides first marrying the nephew of Founding Father William Few, Margaret Taylor Howard Johnston had four siblings who likewise married two grandchildren, a great-granddaughter, and a nephew of Founding Father Roger Sherman, Signer of the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Declaration of Independence from Connecticut; other close relatives-by-marriage of Margaret Taylor Howard Johnston were instrumental in the founding of America and its religious and educational institutions.
Maybe your heart is aching
I wouldn't know, now would I?
Maybe your spirit's breaking up
I shouldn't care, now should I?
Maybe you're thinking of me
Well, I wouldn't know, now would I?
If only you knew how I feel oh,
I wish I could die, don't I?
Couldn't believe in my eyes
You drifted into my life
But marriages made in Heaven
Can they survive in this life?
Surely it came as no surprise
Love was too hot to handle
Well I really blew my cool
And you just blew out the candle
I'm just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Just another high
Lately it seems so empty here
But I suppose I'm all right
Maybe tomorrow's not so clear
Still I remember that night
Singing to you like this is
My only way to reach you
And though I'm too proud to say it
Oh how I long to see you
Shattered my dreams by your good-bye
Scattered my hopes they fill the sky
Desolate am I
I'm just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Just another high
Maybe I got stuck on you
Just another high
