Heart of Gold
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know
There are lips that need kissing
And it's you
That I always been missing
Let me give you
All that I've got to you
Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true

For you I will cross any oceans
To you I will show my emotions
I can't stop even just like I do
Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true

Don't disappoint me
Don't hurt my feelings
Don't make me cry
I want you for my own
I need you by my side
Than we're go flying
Up in the sky
To somewhere new
How can the world go on without you

Who cares if the sun shines tomorrow
Your love drives away all my sorrow
Day and night
I'm just thinking of you
Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true

Don't disappoint me
Don't hurt my feelings
Don't make me cry
I want you for my own
I need you by my side
Than we're go flying
Up in the sky
To somewhere new
How can the world go on without you

The stars seem to shine so much brighter
The snow seems to glisten much wider
Works of art
All remind me of you
Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true
Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true
Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true
Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true




Heart of gold
Means I'll always be true
