David Whitfield Lyrics
Cara Mia why, must we say goodbye?
Each time we part, my heart wants to die
My darling hear my prayer, Cara Mia fair
Here are my arms you alone will share
All I want is you forever more
To have, to hold, to love above all
Cara Mia mine, say those words divine
I'll be your love till the end of time
All I want is you forever more
To have, to hold, to love above all
Cara Mia mine, say those words divine
I'll be your love till the end of time

MINHA QUERIDA
Minha querida por que, devemos dizer adeus?
Cada vez que nos separamos, meu coração quer morrer
Minha querida, ouça minha oração, minha querida.
Aqui estão meus braços, só você vai compartilhar!!!!
Tudo que eu quero é você para sempre mais
Para ter, para segurar, para amar acima de tudo
Minha querida minha, diga essas palavras divinas
Serei seu amor até o fim dos tempos!!!
Interlúdio
Tudo que eu quero é você para sempre mais
Para ter, para segurar, para amar acima de tudo
Minha querida minha, diga essas palavras divinas
Serei seu amor até o fim de .... TEMPO!!!!

This to me is the best version sung by a magnificent singer. Glad my mom belonged to many record clubs as I was growing up. Share with others.
John Wolven
Beautiful voice. So inspiring. Jay Black left a verse out,.....saw him live. D.W. did a different rendition. Both were great. Thank you both artists
Gareth Murtagh
Wow what a voice! The Mantovani strings and the chorus give it a real haunting feel. True talent is always timeless!

I remember seeing David Whitfield on tv seems like an age of innocence now.

I was lucky to have seen 1 of his concerts and to meet him afterwards. A lovely man..

You were indeed blessed. I don't believe he ever came to America. If so, and close, my mom would certainly have gone to his concerts .
