Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Engelbert Humperdinck's "Signs of Love" is a love song that expresses the depth of love and appreciation between two people in a relationship. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the special connection he shares with his partner, and marvels at how his partner seems to understand him in a way that surpasses words. This connection means everything to him, and he can't bear the thought of living without his partner by his side.
The second verse finds the singer reflecting on past mistakes, admitting he has caused pain to his partner and expressing a desire to start afresh. He then confesses that the love he has for his partner is the sweetest thing he has ever known -- it begins and ends with the person he's with. The chorus emphasizes this feeling of newfound purpose and gratitude as he repeats the phrase, "How I love you," and describes the ways in which his partner's presence contributes to his happiness and sense of purpose.
The verses that follow highlight some of the specific qualities that the singer loves about his partner: the softness of her lips, the color of her hair, and the sound of her laughter. Even when she's not there with him physically, the memory of these things remains strong and comforting. The singer's gratitude swells as the song progresses -- he sees his partner as the most important thing in his life, the anchor that keeps him grounded and inspired. The last line, "We read each other's mind," suggests a deep, mutual understanding and a sense of intimacy that runs much deeper than words.
