Wrap Your Arms Around Me
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wrap your arms around me
When you're so far away,
At the end of each day
Counting the moments
'Till you fade away.
Inside my soul,
Under passion's control,
Are feelings I can't find
The words to explain
Just like the first time
I'm helpless again.
[Chorus]
Wrap your arms around me
Let your love surround me
Make love to me now like never before.
Wrap your arms around me
From the day you found me
You'll never be alone.

The nights are so cold,
With just your memory to hold
I've tried to be strong,
Reaching out holding on.
Alone in my bed,
I cling to each word you said,
Wanting you more everyday we're apart
And each precious moment
Is safe in my heart.

[Chorus]

Take me in your arms
Hold me
You are the one,
Only you I want to be with you
We belong together
We were so close
The nights are so cold
Want to be with you
Miss you anyway
I want to be with you
Hold me, love me, love me
Just like the first time
I'm helpless again

[Chorus]

Wrap your arms around me
And you'll never be alone
Wrap your arms around me




You'll never be alone
No, you'll never be alone.

At the conclusion of every day


Counting the moments
Waiting eagerly for your arrival

Until you disappear from my sight

Trying to maintain our connection


Alone in my bed,
By myself in my sleeping quarters

And each precious moment
Every special time we share

Wow, just listening to his voice touches my heart deeply. When I hear any kind of song, just one word and I recognize that it is Enge. His voice is so unique, his way of singing all his songs, deep from his heart and soul. One cannot help but be touched by everything he sings.
Yes, there are lots of singers out there, but Enge’s way of delivering a song is just superb.
There is no other like him!
I pray that God will continue to bless him with good health, so we can enjoy listening to him for a long time yet.

He will never ever be forgotten . His music will live forever.

His voice, his smile lights up a whole room. He is such a gentleman with a wonderful heart and shares his music and love with everyone.
I can’t ever get enough of his music.
Love you forever Enge ❤️

«Пока ты не исчезнешь.
В моей душе,
Под контролем страсти,
Я не могу найти чувства
Слова для объяснения
Как в первый раз
Я опять беспомощен
Обхвати меня руками
С того дня, как ты нашла меня
Ты никогда не будешь одинока.
Ты единственная,
Только ты, я хочу быть с тобой
Все равно скучаю
я хочу быть с тобой
Держи меня, люби меня, люби меня
Как в первый раз
Я снова беспомощен,,

Yes it was 30 yrs ago. 1991. Plus the interview after with Rick Dee's. It was a hoot. Don t see him anymore but saw him about 15 different times. Life truly is about. Real Romance. Few understand it. Engelbert the greatest of all time.

@carmenrobres4342

We've grown old now, but Engelbert's voice is intact and wonderful ❤

@margueritepaull8643

Engelbert is close, but King Elvis was better!!!

@gwenbrashier1884

No other voice could sing this, the way our Mr King of Romance can. Sung with such beautiful feelings. ❤️🌹

@dannywilde7932

I have to disagree. Listen to the version by Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA) here on YouTube if you want to hear true emotion.
