Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I lay searching for sleep.
Her soft hand reached out, she whispered my name
As she brushed a tear from my cheek.
And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings
Started walkin' all over my mind.
It's sad, so sad to watch love go bad,
But a true love would not have gone wrong.
I'm just thankful for the good times we've had
For without them I could not go on,
With all these funny familiar forgotten feelings
Walkin' all over my mind.
I must go on, be strong,
Tho' a million teardrops may fall,
Before these funny familiar forgotten feelings
Stop walk' all over my mind.
The lyrics of Engelbert Humperdinck's song Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings depict a man who is reminiscing about a past lover. The night brings a flood of memories and the woman in question, who is far from his grasp, walks through his mind. The man is unable to sleep and at this moment, it seems as if the woman has sensed his vulnerability and has come to comfort him by wiping away his tears. Despite the fact that their love has fallen apart, the man is still reminiscing over the good times they had together, and these feelings are flooding back, intensifying his longing for her.
Undoubtedly, the lyrics of the song radiate profound emotions about lost love. Even though the song is delivered in a melancholic tone, it also inspires hope, as the man realizes that without their shared experiences, he could not move on. His resolve to be strong and move forward, no matter how many tears he sheds, suggests that the only way to cope with the grief of a past romance is to focus on the positive aspects of it, and to use those memories as a foundation for moving forward with his life.

Last night, quietly, she walked through my mind
The memory of her came to mind peacefully last night
As I lay searching for sleep
While I was trying to fall asleep
Her soft hand reached out, she whispered my name
She seemed to touch me and say my name softly
As she brushed a tear from my cheek
She wiped a tear off my face
And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings
I started having nostalgia from familiar but long-forgotten emotions
Started walkin' all over my mind
These emotions started taking over my thoughts
It's sad, so sad to watch love go bad
It's heartbreaking to see love fail
But a true love would not have gone wrong
If it was true love, it wouldn't have ended badly
I'm just thankful for the good times we've had
I'm grateful for the happy moments we shared
For without them I could not go on
Those memories are what keep me going
With all these funny familiar forgotten feelings
Despite these nostalgic emotions that have resurfaced
Walkin' all over my mind
I'm still getting taken over by these thoughts
I must go on, be strong
I have to keep moving forward and be brave
Tho' a million teardrops may fall
Even if I cry a million tears
Before these funny familiar forgotten feelings
Before these nostalgic emotions
Stop walk' all over my mind
Stop taking over my thoughts
