Can't take my eyes off of you
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 nothing 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

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

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
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
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby




To warm the lonely night
I love you baby

My dad used to sing this to my mum only she was called Lorna so he changed the words to tell Lorna. My dad is named Tommy and my mum recently passes away in 24th October 2019. My husband never knew this and began to sing this song tonight. I honestly think my mum put this song in my husbands head so he would sing this out loud, so that I knew that she was with me. I was very sad today and told her how much I missed her. Thankyou for putting this song on here. Much love to everyone listening to this song

This is my favorite of Enge singing on dvds I have. He looks so clean-cut, well dressed, the music was awesome. His voice and presentation kept me listening to every word. King of Romance. ❤️

@graca767

This concert was, as usual, totally amazing. Enge and his unique voice. We love you. Brasil
