Twelve Great Songs Plus "Release Me" (1967)












Release Me lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

I have found a new love, dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me, my darling, let me go

(Please release me, let me go)
For I don't love you anymore
(To waste my life would be a sin)
So release me and let me love again

Please release me, can't you see
You'd be a fool to cling to me
To live a lie would bring us pain
So release me and let me love again
(Let me love, let me love)

Quiet Nights lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Quiet nights 'n quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts 'n quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away... from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew,
Became these quiet nights of loving you!

We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away... from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew,
Became these quiet nights of loving you!
Hmmm...

Yours Until Tomorrow lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Tonight I hold to nothing
But the feelings in my soul
My heart overflows with emotions
I just can't control

There's someone you are going to
But tonight I just can't tell right from wrong

Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
Just mine till the dawn

Tomorrow the real world
Will come crashing down on me
I know I must lose you
And that's the way it has to be

But tonight I see no boundaries
So I beg you before our chance is gone

Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
So that I can go on

Till the dawn's intrusion
Ends us with illusion
Make believe you're mine, love
This is not goodbye, love

All I ask is one night
Till the mornin' sunlight
Won't you stay here in my arms?
And baby

Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours

There's A Kind Of Hush lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

(originally by The New Vaudeville Band)

There's a kind of hush
All over the world, tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us
And nobody else concerned
There's nobody else
And I'm feeling good, holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Closer now, and you will see what I mean
(see what I mean)
It isn't a dream (it isn't a dream)
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you, forever and ever"

There's a kind of hush all over the world, tonight
All over the world, people just like us are falling in love

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
(see what I mean)
No no, it isn't a dream (it isn't a dream)
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you, forever and ever"

There's a kind of hush all over the world, tonight
All over the world, people just like us are falling in love
Are falling in love
Falling in love

This Is My Song lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Why is my heart so light
Why are the stars so bright
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you
Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me
I know why my world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It is the same old story
Through all eternity

Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to love
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world, there is you
I care not what the world may be saying
Without our love, there is no day
So love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

I care not what the world may be saying
Without your love, there is no day
So love, this is my song
Here is my song, a serenade to you

Misty Blue lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Oh, I spent such a long, long time,
Looks like I get you off my mind,
Oh, but I can't,
Just the thought of you,
Turns my whole world,
A misty blue.

Just the mention of your name,
Turns the flicker to a flame,
I think of things we used to do,
Then my whole world,
Turns misty blue.

I should forget you,
Heaven knows I tried,
But, when I say,
I'm glad we're through.
My heart knows I've lied.

Oh, I spent such a long, long time,
Looks like I get you off my mind,
Oh, but I can't,
Just the thought of you,
Turns my whole world,
A misty blue.

Take My Heart lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

You say you're finished with love
That you'll never love again as long as you live
But believe me, you'll love me again
If for once you find it in your heart to forgive
Take my Heart
I can undo all the wrong, let's start
Just a little bit of love goes far
You'll begin to live again
Take my heart, come on back where you belong
Let's start, you can do it, if you take my heart
You'll begin to live again

Now that you've seen the bad side
There's a chance that you won't find the heart to forgive
But believe me, there's always the good side
In a world just made for us where lovers can live

Take my heart, I can undo all the wrong, let's start
Just a little bit of love, goes far, you'll begin to live again

Take my heart, come on back where you belong, let's start
You can do it if you take my heart, you'll begin to live again

How Near Is Love lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

They tell me how far that you fly to the moon
And name all the stars that shine above
On Venus and Mars we will be very soon
Oh, but I want to know how near is love

When you're close to me I could touch the sky
At times I can see heaven in your eyes
You don't know the pain of loving in vain
So please tell me now how near is love

When you're close to me I could touch the sky
At times I can see heaven in your eyes
You don't know the pain of loving in vain
So please tell me now how near is love
So please tell me now how near is love

Walk Through This World lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Walk through this world with me
Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me
I need you so

In life we search
And some of us find
I've looked for you
A long, long time

And now that I've found you
New horizons I see
Come take my hand and
Walk through this world with me

Walk through this world with me
Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me
I've searched for you so

And now that I've found you
New horizons I see
Come take my hand and
Walk through this world with me

Come take my hand and
Walk through this world with me

If I Were You lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

If I were you
If he were mine
I would give him my whole world
Until the end of time
If I were you
If I were his
I would always let him know
How precious his love is

If for one day he wanted me
I would show him all that
Love's supposed to be

If he ever called my name
I'd never be too far
If he ever needed hope
I'd give him all my heart
If he ever made a wish
I'd try to reach him a star
That's what I'd do
He could always count on me
If I were you

You see his smile
You know his touch
But without the things
I feel for him
It doesn't mean as much
You have his heart
And he has mine
Though I know there's
Nothing I can say
To change his mind

But if he chose me
Instead of you I would
Show him all the things
My love can do

Talking Love lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

If there are soft lights and sweet music playing
I'll be around with a girl by my side
Beneath the soft lights we'll be gently swaying

And while the music is low, sweet and low
I'm talking love

When there are soft lights and sweet music playing
I'll be romantic and hold her so tight
So she can hear every word I am saying
And when I whisper to her, soft and low
I'm talking love

So find the place where the soft lights are burning
And where the music is low, sweet and low
If all at once your whole world has stopped turning
You're in the clouds and it's then you would know
You're talking love

You're talking love

My World lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Stay beside me, stay beside me,
Say you'll never leave me.
How I love, how I love you,
How I need you, please believe me.
In your arms I found my heaven,
And your lips have done their part.

Il Mondo
Your love is all I need in my world
Let tender kisses plead in my world
How could I ever live without you.

Il Mondo
My heart belongs to you so take it
And promise me you'll never break it
Say you'll stay here in my arms.

Stay beside me, stay beside me,
Say you'll never leave me.
How I love, how I love you,
How I need you, Please believe me.
In your arms I found my heaven,
And your lips have done their part.

Il Mondo
Your love is all I need in my world
Let tender kisses plead in my world
How could I ever live without you

Il Mondo
My heart belongs to you so take it
And promise me you'll never break it
Say you'll stay here in my arms.

Here in my arms

La...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...

Il Mondo...

Il Mondo...

Ten Guitars lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

I have a band of men and all they do is play for me
They come from miles around to hear them play a melody
Beneath the stars, my ten guitars will play a song for you
And if you're with the one you love, this is what you do

Oh dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
And very soon you'll know just where you are
Through the eyes of love you'll see a thousand stars
When you dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars

Guitars are made for love, my band of men will always say
So give them all a pretty girl and they will start to play
Beneath the stars, my ten guitars will play a song for you
And if you're with the one you love, this is what you do

Oh dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
And very soon you'll know just where you are
Through the eyes of love you'll see a thousand stars
When you dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
Let me tell you now
Dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
Come on everybody
Dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars

The Last Waltz (1967)













The Last Waltz lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

I wondered should I go or should I stay
The band had only one more song to play
And then I saw you out the corner of my eyes
A little girl alone and so shy
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
But the love we had was goin' strong
Through the good and bad we'd get along
And then the flame of love died in your eye
My heart was broke in two when you said goodbye
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
It's all over now
Nothing left to say
Just my tears and the orchestra playing
La la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
La la la la la la la la la la

Dance With Me lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can't you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am calling
Dance with me
Fantasy could never be so giving I feel free,
I hope that you are willing
Pick your feet up, and kick your feet up
Dance with me
Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around
I can take you where you want to go
Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can't you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am calling
Dance with me

Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around
I can take you where you want to go
Fantasy could never be so giving
I feel free, I hope that you are willing
To pick your feet up, kick your feet up
And dance with me
Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can't you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am calling
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me

Two Different Worlds lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
For we've been told
That a love like ours could never be
So far apart
They say we're so far apart
And that we haven't the right
To change our destiny

When will they learn
That a heart doesn't draw the line
Nothing matters if I am yours
And you are mine

Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
But we will show them
As we walk together in the sun
That our two different worlds are one

Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
But we will show them
As we walk together in the sun
That our two different worlds are one

If It Comes to That lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Everybody tells me you're a woman with the past
Quick to make a promise but your love will never last
They tell me that I'm foolish to think that your love could be fair
But they don't know that I'm too much in love to even care
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that

If it comes right down to hurtin' and you'll break this heart of mine
At least I've known the happiness of havin' your love for a time
If it happens that I lose you then I'll have the memory of how you loved me
I'll be yours until it happens and I'm gonna love you all the way
I don't care what comes tomorrow as long as you're all mine today
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that

If it comes right down to hurtin'...

Walk Hand In Hand lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Walk hand in hand with me through all eternity
Have faith, believe in me, give me your hand
Love is a symphony of perfect harmony
When lovers such as we walk hand in hand
Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
So lift your head up high and look toward the sky
Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
Walk with me

Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
So lift your head up high and look up to the sky
Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
Walk with me

A Place In The Sun lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Like a long, lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor, restless heart's got to run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired, troubled Earth
I been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor, restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun
Gotta find me a place in the sun

Long Gone lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Oh well, it's long gone
Long gone
You got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be hangin' around
'Cause I know you gonna put her down
She'll need someone that's true
When she wakes up one day and finds you long gone
Long gone!

You just wonder into town
You took her and you started messing around with my baby
You stole her heart 'cause she ain't used to your kind
With your fancy clothes and uptown style
You didn't take 'bout a little while to get your way
'Cause your pretty little eyes she couldn't see behind

Oh well, it's long gone
Long gone
You got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be hangin' around
'Cause I know you gonna put her down
She'll need someone that's true
When she wakes up one day and finds you long gone
Long gone!

The man and me would like to fight
And take you down by the rhythm of the night and change your ways
But that would make her hate the side of me
So there's nothing left for me to do
But stand and watch while the lights of you hurt the girl I love
But she's too much in love to even see

Oh well, it's long gone
Long gone
You got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be hangin' around
'Cause I know you gonna put her down
She'll need someone that's true
When she wakes up one day and finds you long gone
Long gone!

Long gone, long gone!

All This World And The Seven Seas lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

I am free as the breeeze
Free to wander where I please
But all this world and the seven seas

Couldn't call me away if I could stay
In these arms holding me
There's no bars, there's no walls
Islands beckon, fortune calls

But all this world and the seven seas
Couldn't call me away if I could stay
In these arms holding me
Planes to Rome, ships to Spain
China sunsets, jungle silver with rain

But what a fool I would be
To leave heaven, no, not me
But all this world and the seven seas
Couldn't call me away if I could stay
In these arms holding me

Couldn't call me away if I could stay
In these arms holding me

Miss Elaine E.S. Jones lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Miss Elaine E.S. Jones
Is quite famous for the property she owns
But the property she owns is the property of Jones
And the innocent by standers
How they rush with gifts to hand her
Just to get a little candour off her bones
Miss Elaine E. S. Jones
The recipient of many sticks and stones
Dumped by ladies of the town
How they try to put it down
But she just walks by grinning
'Cos she's on that side that's winning
It's by popular opinion I suppose
Oh she's a high stepping lady
It's clear to anyone who knows her name
It's never Yes, just a Maybe
It's for sure you're gonna love her
If you judge her by the cover
But stay aware or from as due
She's just isn't worth the price you're gonna pay
She is heartless
She is cruel
And she'll make a fool of you
If there's tenderness beneath her
It's too far out of reach Sir
You'll discover like the others no one owns
Miss Elaine E. S. Jones

Everybody Knows lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

Wish they hadn't seen him walk away,
And heard me beg him stay, please stay.
Why, why did we choose this crowded place,
They all know it, cause I show it in my face.

Everybody knows you said goodbye,
Everybody knows we're through.
Now they all can see the tears I cry,
Running down my face for you.

They all said it's too good to be true,
He'll make a fool of you, one day.
I just laughed and said our love was strong,
But you left me, and they all know I was wrong.

Everybody knows you're tired of me,
Everybody knows we're through.
Though I'm on my own I can't be free,
Baby, I just live for you.

Everybody knows you said goodbye,
Everybody knows we're through...

Nature Boy lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

(originally by Nat King Cole)

There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy.
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea,
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he.

And then one day,
One magic day, he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things,
Engelbert Humperdinck Nature Boy Lyrics
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
'The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.'

'The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.'

To The Ends Of The Earth lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

To the ends of the earth I'll follow my star
To the ends of the earth just to be where you are
No matter where you roam I'll never be far behind
Who cares where the path may wind
As long as I find you.
Though the melody dies, the song lingers on
And a thousand goodbyes won't convince me you're gone
I'll follow you, my love, you'll never be free
To the ends of the earth till you've given your love to me.
