Take My Heart
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I've found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby




To warm the lonely night
I love you baby

Overall Meaning

Engelbert Humperdinck's Can't Take My Eyes Off of You is a love song that encapsulates the overwhelming feeling of being head over heels in love with someone.

The singer then leaps to describing how touching them would be like touching heaven and how they want to hold them so much. The lyric "At long last love has arrived" reveals that the singer has finally found someone to love and they thank God for this happiness.


The chorus repeats the earlier lines re-emphasizing the depth of the singer's love for the person they are addressing.

The song ends with the singer pleading with the person they love to not bring them down and to let them love them.

"Возьми моё сердце" Перевод:

Ты говоришь, что ты закончила с любовью
То, что ты никогда не будешь любить снова до тех пор, пока ты живёшь
Но поверь, ты будешь любить меня снова
Если на этот раз ты найдёшь это в своём сердце, чтобы простить
Возьми моё сердце
Я могу отменить всё неправильное, давай начнём
Просто немного любви выходит далеко
Ты начнёшь жить заново
Возьми моё сердце, возвращайся, где ты принадлежишь
Давай начнём, ты можешь это сделать, если ты принимаешь моё сердце
Ты начнёшь жить заново
Теперь, когда ты увидела плохую сторону
Там есть шанс, что ты не найдёшь сердцу прощать
Но поверьте мне, всегда есть хорошая сторона
В мире, только что сделала для нас, где любящие могут жить
Возьми моё сердце, я могу отменить всё неправильное, давай начнём
Просто немного любви, выходит далеко, ты начинаешь жить заново
Возьми моё сердце, давай туда, где ты принадлежишь, давай начнём
Ты можешь сделать это, если ты принимаешь моё сердце, ты начинаешь жить заново



Teimuraz Chapidze

You say you're finished with love
That you'll never love again as long as you live
But believe me, you'll love me again
If for once you find it in your heart to forgive
Take my Heart
I can undo all the wrong, let's start
Just a little bit of love goes far
You'll begin to live again
Take my heart, come on back where you belong
Let's start, you can do it, if you take my heart
You'll begin to live again

Now that you've seen the bad side
There's a chance that you won't find the heart to forgive
But believe me, there's always the good side
In a world just made for us where lovers can live

Take my heart, I can undo all the wrong, let's start
Just a little bit of love, goes far, you'll begin to live again

Take my heart, come on back where you belong, let's start
You can do it if you take my heart, you'll begin to live again
