Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watch you, lying there
Your hand upon the pillow
With moonilght in your hair.
I get the warmest feeling
So good I almost cry.
I kiss your sleeping lips, and say
I love you, till I die.
Oh, girl of mine, turn out the light,
And in my arms, together we'll make love tonight
Down last road we'll go,
And you'll always know
I love you girl of mine
Sometimes I know I heart you
When things ain't going right
I walk away and leave you
To face a lonely night
I wouldn't blame you, darling
If you walked out on me
But I return to find you there,
Still waiting, patiently
Oh, girl of mine, turn out the light'
And in my arms, together we'll make love tonight
Down, last road we'll go
And you'll always know
I love you girl of mine

When you're asleep beside me
In the peaceful moments when we lie next to each other, sharing a tender connection
I watch you, lying there
With admiration and affection, I observe your serene presence
Your hand upon the pillow
I notice the gentle touch of your hand resting on the pillow
With moonlight in your hair
The moonlight gracefully illuminates the beauty of your hair
I get the warmest feeling
A wave of overwhelming warmth engulfs my heart and soul
So good I almost cry
The intensity of emotions reaches a level where tears of joy are almost shed
I kiss your sleeping lips, and say
In this tender moment, I gently kiss your lips and express my affection
I love you, till I die
My love for you is eternal, never ceasing even in the face of mortality
Oh, girl of mine, turn out the light
Beloved girl of mine, let us create an intimate atmosphere by turning off the light
And in my arms, together we'll make love tonight
We will embrace each other, sharing passionate love as we unite tonight
Down last road we'll go
We will journey together along the final path
And you'll always know
You can be certain and never doubt
I love you girl of mine
That my love for you, my dearest girl, is unwavering
Sometimes I know I heart you
At times, I am aware that I may unintentionally cause you pain
When things ain't going right
During moments of difficulty and when circumstances are unfavorable
I walk away and leave you
I, regrettably, distance myself and abandon you temporarily
To face a lonely night
Leaving you to confront a night filled with solitude and longing
I wouldn't blame you, darling
I would understand if you held me accountable, my beloved
If you walked out on me
If you decided to leave and end our relationship
But I return to find you there,
However, as I come back, I am relieved to see you still present
Still waiting, patiently
Patiently waiting for my return, demonstrating your enduring love

I had been to 3 Engelbert live concerts in the past in Halifax, Las Vegas and Toronto and used to think he was too old to sing. But in September 2018, I saw him again after about 15 years at the Casino Regent in Winnipeg and I no longer think he is too old to sing. He was fantastic and sounded so good that I say "Engelbert don't you ever stop singing and please come to Winnipeg again soon".
