Power Of Love
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

[Chorus:]
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

'Cause you're my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

[Chorus:]

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away





[Chorus:]

The whispers in the morning
The soft spoken words exchanged in the quiet morning


Of lovers sleeping tight
Between the sleeping bodies of two in love


Are rolling like thunder now
Have now amplified in strength and passion


As I look in your eyes
As I gaze into your powerful eyes


I hold on to your body
I grasp tightly to your physical form


And feel each move you make
And sense every subtle motion you create


Your voice is warm and tender
Your speaking tone is kind and affectionate


A love that I could not forsake
An intense love that I could never abandon


[Chorus:] We're heading for something
Together we are moving towards an unknown destination


Somewhere I've never been
To a place that I have never experienced before


Sometimes I am frightened
Occasionally I am scared of this uncharted path


But I'm ready to learn
But I am open to learning and growing


Of the power of love
About the strength and influence of love


'Cause you're my lady
Because you are my significant other


And I am your man
And I am your partner


Whenever you reach for me
Whenever you require my support


I'll do all that I can
I will do everything in my power to assist you


Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
In your embrace, I feel comfort and safety


When the world outside's too much to take
When the external world is overwhelming


That all ends when I'm with you
That stress and worry dissipates when I am with you


Even though there may be times
Although there may be moments


It seems I'm far away
Where it appears that I am distant


Never wonder where I am
Do not question my location


'Cause I am always by your side
Because I am consistently beside you


[Chorus:]
Repeats the earlier mentioned chorus


The sound of your heart beating
The rhythmic sound of your heart pumping


Made it clear
Became apparent to me


Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Previously, I felt like I couldn't continue forward


Is light years away
Now, that emotion seems very far away
