Senorita Bonita
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
Forever 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
A dream forever 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
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 mind
This feeling's 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 have changed my life in many different ways
And suddenly I feel alive
Little things you say and do
Give me reasons to survive
Feelings that I have are something new to me
I've never felt like this before
Need your loving every day
Need your loving more and more

Señorita Bonita, my special lady from Mexico
Señorita Bonita, my love for you seems to grow and grow
And when I hold you I can't let go
Oh Señorita I love you forever
Señorita Bonita you'll always be mine

Anywhere I go and anything I do
I wanna have you close to me
Sharing every single day
That's the way it's gonna be
I never realised I needed anyone
But then your love came shining through
Now I need you all the time
Gonna spend my life with you

Oh Señorita I love you forever

Oh Señorita I love you forever
Señorita Bonita you'll always be mine

@user-ds6ot7ez7j

Изумительный певец. Не стареющий. Слушаю его с 20 лет. Песни до сих рор живы. Не стали архаизмом. Потому что талантливая музыка и совершенное исполнение.
