Stay beside me, stay beside me
Say you'll never leave me
How I love you, how I love you
How I need you, please believe me
In your arms, I've found my heaven
And your lips have done their part

And promise me you'll never break it
Say you'll stay here in my arms

Thank you!!!

Incredible! The greatest singer of all time! I’m 60 years old in a few weeks & nostalgia kicks in when I see Engelbert.
It’s taken me over 50 years to see the legend himself live twice in the past 6 months & my life is now complete!
They don’t make them like this anymore & furthermore.. he’s just a good old Leicester (UK) lad! Awesome! ❤️🌷

In December 1977, my then-girlfriend introduced me to the world of the songs of this immense singer without equal. She and I got married in October 1980, and since then we have been together, having the fortune of have seen Engelbert sing live in two occasions. What a personality of singer! My beloved wife and I still enjoy listening to these beautiful songs.

In my opinion this is his signature song in lieu "release me ". A great melody with outstanding musical arrangements, this is the recipe to success
