Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know now for sure that my wandering days are through
I've looked around, most every place
But all that I ever see is your lovely face
When I come back, darling, say you'll marry me
I want to spend my life with you
A little band of gold for everyone to see
I'll tell the world if you marry me
But out of mind is out of sight
Didn't know that your love would be watching me each night
Thought I'd have fun with someone new
But now that I know it is your love that's so true
When I come back, darling, say you'll marry me
I want to spend my life with you
A little band of gold for everyone to see
I'll tell the world if you marry me
When I come back, darling, say you'll marry me
I want to spend my life with you
A little band gold for everyone to see
I'll tell the world if you marry me
