Three Little Words
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyday seems longer
And as I write to you today
My love grows stronger
I'm gonna let you know
What I've been thinking
And hope that you will come to me
You'll be willing
I'm gonna send my love today
Write to you and say
The three little words : I love you
I'm gonna send one tender kiss
To your tender lips
With three little words : I love you
The above lyrics are from Engelbert Humperdinck's song, Three Little Words. The lyrics showcase the feelings of a person in a long-distance relationship who is missing their significant other. When love is far away, every day seems to be longer because their loved one is not present to spend time with and to create memories. Despite the distance, the individual's love grows stronger with each passing day. They decide to write a letter expressing their thoughts and emotions in the form of three little words- 'I love you', hoping that their significant other will come to them, willing and ready to make things work. The person also sends a tender kiss to their significant other, with the same three little words, hoping to express their love and affection.
The song conveys the message of longing, love, and commitment towards someone, even when they are far away. The emotions portrayed through the lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a long-distance relationship and has missed their significant other. Humperdinck's passionate vocals and the romantic melody make the song even more emotive.

When love is far away
The absence of love makes days seem longer
Everyday seems longer
The passage of time feels slower in the absence of love
And as I write to you today
In this moment of communication, my feelings are intensifying
My love grows stronger
The more I express my love, the greater it becomes
I'm gonna let you know
I'm determined to share my feelings with you
