Holly holy eyes
Dream of only you
Where I am, what I am
What I believe in Holly holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out

Touch a man who can't walk upright
And that lame man, he's gonna fly

Take the lonely child
And the seed
Let it be filled with tomorrow

... you have to dare with this masterful song by Neil Diamond and his way of interpreting it to make a "cover" of it, so I think it is fair to make a hole in this huge version, immense Engelbert Humperdinck

Peter Matthews

Perfection. I love this version of the Neil Diamond classic. What a voice Humperdinck has ❤
