Girl Of Mine
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're asleep beside me,
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

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".
