Wrap Your Arms Around Me
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

Wrap your arms around me
Embrace me tightly, show me that you love and care for me
When you're so far away,
When you are physically distant from me
At the end of each day
At the conclusion of every day
Counting the moments
Waiting eagerly for your arrival
'Till you fade away.
Until you disappear from my sight
Inside my soul,
Deep within my psyche
Under passion's control,
Dominant emotions fueled by love
Are feelings I can't find
I am unable to articulate my emotions
The words to explain
The appropriate verbiage to convey my emotions
Just like the first time
Similar to the initial encounter
I'm helpless again.
I feel powerless once again
Wrap your arms around me
Please hold me tight
Let your love surround me
Envelop me with your love
Make love to me now like never before.
Experience an unparalleled level of passion with me
From the day you found me
From the moment you discovered me
You'll never be alone.
You will always have me by your side
The nights are so cold,
I feel lonely and isolated at night
With just your memory to hold
I am left with only my recollection of you
I've tried to be strong,
I have attempted to remain resilient
Reaching out holding on.
Trying to maintain our connection
Alone in my bed,
By myself in my sleeping quarters
I cling to each word you said,
I hold onto every expression you bestowed upon me
Wanting you more everyday we're apart
My desire for you intensifies every day we are away from each other
And each precious moment
Every special time we share
Is safe in my heart.
I cherish our moments together
Take me in your arms
Hold me tightly
Hold me
Embrace me
You are the one,
You are my one true love
Only you I want to be with you
I only desire to be with you and no one else
We belong together
We are meant to be together
We were so close
We had such a strong connection
Want to be with you
I yearn to be by your side
Miss you anyway
I miss you immensely
Hold me, love me, love me
Please embrace me and love me unconditionally
Just like the first time
Like when we first fell in love
I'm helpless again
I am defenseless in your presence
Wrap your arms around me
Embrace me once again
And you'll never be alone
I will always be there for you
No, you'll never be alone.
I promise to always be by your side

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.

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

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