Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were their son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

Release Me
Bobby Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't love you anymore
To live a lie would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
Oh I have found a new love dear
And I'll always want her near
Her lips, they're warm while yours are cold
Release me and darling let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live a lie would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
Please release me let me go
You'd be the fool to cling to me
Oh to live a lie would bring us pain
Release me and let me love again

Oh please release me let me go
I am asking you to let me go.
I don't love you anymore
My feelings for you have faded and I do not love you anymore.
To live a lie would be a sin
It is not right to pretend that I still love you when I do not.
Release me and let me love again
Please let me go so that I can move on and find love with someone else.
Oh I have found a new love dear
I have met someone else that I love.
And I'll always want her near
I will always want to be close to her.
Her lips, they're warm while yours are cold
The love I share with this new person is passionate and warm, unlike the love I have with you.
Release me and darling let me go
I am asking you once again to release me and let me go.
You'd be the fool to cling to me
It would not be wise for you to hold onto me when my heart is not with you.
Oh to live a lie would bring us pain
We both would be unhappy if we continued to pretend that our love is still alive.
