You Belong to My Heart
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You belong to my heart
Now and forever
And our love had its start
Not long ago

We were gathering stars
While a million guitars played our love song
When I said I love you
Every beat of my heart said it too

'Twas a moment like this
Do you remember?
And your eyes threw a kiss
When they met mine

Now we own all the stars
And a million guitars are still playing
Darling, you are the song
And you'll always belong to my heart

'Twas a moment like this
Do you remember?
And your eyes threw a kiss
When they met mine

Now we all own the stars
And a million guitars are still playing
Darling, you are the song




And you'll always belong to my heart
You belong to [Inaudible]
