“Engelbert Humperdinck Birthday…Today”

May 2nd “Engelbert Humperdinck Birthday…Today”

Engelbert Humperdinck – 1936

Another unforgettable singer,

(and it’s not just because of his name)

Humperdinck’s ballads

have been touching hearts for generations.

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 eye,
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 going strong,
Through the good and bad we 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.

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

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothin’ else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you

I love you, baby
And if it’s quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
