I'll Walk Alone
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They've asked me out a hundred times or more
But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom"
And here I stay within my lonely room
'Cause
I don't want to walk without you, Baby
Walk without my arm about you, BabyI thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don't want to walk without the sunshine
Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me
'Cause I don't want to walk without you
No, sire
These lyrics from Engelbert Humperdinck's song "I Don't Want to Walk Without You" express the singer's profound loneliness and longing for their loved one. The first two lines indicate that the singer has been invited to go out with their friends numerous times, but they choose to stay home alone. The repetition of the phrase "all I say" emphasizes the singer's steadfastness in their decision. The second stanza reveals the reason behind the singer's loneliness: their significant other has left them. The singer had hoped that taking a walk and enjoying the sunshine would alleviate their feelings of heartbreak, but instead, it only emphasizes their dependence on their love. The singer begs their love to return, emphasizing that they "don't want to walk without" them, and that their absence is literally causing a darkness to descend on the singer's life.
The song expresses a universal theme of the need for human connection and the pain of loss. The lyrics, along with Engelbert Humperdinck's soulful interpretation, capture the depth of the singer's emotions, and the song has resonated with audiences since its release. It is an excellent example of how a great performer can take a simple message and convey it with power and emotion.
