Dancing With Tears in my eyes
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is our last dance together
Some will never forget
You gave me the love of a lifetime
Not a moment with you I regret

But I'm so afraid of tomorrow
'Cause I got to face it alone
I'm losing my reason for living
I'll be just a man on my own

Oh baby, I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
I hear the music but after it died
I know we'll never share it again
This song we're singing will come to an end

Oh darling, I wish we could dance forever
And spend my life in your arms
Deep down I knew we had no future
What rainy day you would go

I guess I just find you too late girl
And you can't better hurting, I know
Nothing and no one can change you
Until yourself, you're true

But God knows, I always remember
The light in my life, that was you

Overall Meaning

Engelbert Humperdinck's song, "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes," is a tender ballad about lost love and heartbreak. The lyrics describe a bittersweet farewell to someone who has given the singer "the love of a lifetime," but who must now leave and face an uncertain future alone. Despite their deep connection, the singer realizes that they were never meant to be together forever, and must come to terms with the fact that the relationship has reached its end.


Throughout the song, the singer grapples with conflicting emotions - on the one hand, they are grateful for the time they shared with their lover, and the memories they created together. On the other hand, they feel a deep sense of loss and fear at the prospect of facing the future without them. The chorus, in particular, conveys a sense of melancholy and resignation, as the singer dances with tears in their eyes, knowing that the music has ended and they can never share this experience with their lover again.


Despite the sadness of the song's theme, there is also a sense of acceptance and closure that pervades the lyrics. The singer acknowledges that they "find" their lover "too late" and that nothing can change the fact that they are now apart. However, they also express gratitude for the "light in [their] life" that their lover brought, and the memories that will always stay with them.

No one can change who you are

I will always remember, by God's grace


The light in my life, that was you
You brought light into my life

July 2021 - still listening to this gorgeous song but now with different ears. He has lost his precious Patricia and the lyrics just breaks my heart. So the song has a very melancholic beauty now. Yes, there are tears in my eyes.
