How I love you
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hold me in your eyes
In your own special way
I wonder how you know
The things I never say
I can't imagine life
Without you by my side
The power of your love
Is all I need tonight

I know there have been times
That I have caused you pain
I'd turn them all around
If I could start again
There's something I must say
I know it's overdue
The sweetest thing I've known
Or ever called my own
Begins and ends with you

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight
I've reached so very high
For everything that's mine
And at the top is you
I want you for all time
And dream forever you

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight
You know me like a book
You've read a thousand times
We know each other's hearts
We read each other's minds
These feelings are always new

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue




The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

You hold me in you eyes
In your own special way
I wonder how you know
The things I never say
I can’t imagine life
Without you by my side
The power of your love
Is all I need tonight
I know there have been times
That I have caused you pain
I’d turn them all around
If I could start again
There is something I must say
I know it’s overdue
The sweetest thing I’ve known
Or even called my own
Begins and Ends with you
How I love you
The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you’re not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I’m feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It’s all begins with you
So come into my arms
Lay Dow by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight
I’ve reached so very high
For everything that’s mine
And at the top is you
I want you for all time
And dream forever you
How I love you

My husband and I were 22 years old when he died, of Leukemia. I was with him every day of his journey to heaven. I promised him I would never marry again. It's been 30 years, our twin sons just turned 30, and I look forward to the day I can hold his hand again as I did all his dying days. This song breaks me and makes me cry as I did that day he left me. It reminds me of this perfect man God sent to me. Soon, we will be together again. ❤❤🙏🙏
