This Is What You Mean To Me
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But a cold, lonely feelin' inside
Now I've got love forgiving and a reason for living
And I've pushed all my sadness aside
Now a day without you is like a day without sunshine
A song without a melody
This is what you mean to me, oh baby
This is what you mean to me, I love you
I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine, you're mine
Since you came, there's no problems
Cause your love's helped me solve them
The dark clouds have all disappeared
Where there used to be sadness
There's nothing but gladness
And a smile has replaced all my tears
Without you, I'd be just like
A child without Christmas
A bird without a song to sing
This is what you mean to me, oh baby
This is what you mean to me, I said I need you
This is what you mean to me
I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine, you're mine
Now a day without you
Is like a day without sunshine
A song without a melody
This is what you mean to me, oh baby
This is what you mean to me, I need you
This is what you mean to me, I've got love forgiving
(This is what you mean to me) and a reason for living
(This is what you mean to me) where there used to be sadness
(This is what you mean to me) there's nothing but gladness
(This is what you mean to me) yes, I'm so glad you're mine
All mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, mine, mine, baby
This is what you mean to me
