Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The words get locked away and I can't set them free
Never really showed you what's going on inside
The joy of being near you
I always seem to
I wish I could throw the fear away
So I could come right out and say
You are my love, you are my live
When I'm lost you are the light
You are the sweetest thing
And I never gonna let you go
You are the sweetest thing
If only I could tell you so
I watched you when you were sleeping
Like a little girl
I'd like to wake you up and say,
I want you in my world
Sometimes when I kiss you and look into your eyes
I have to turn away from you so you won't see me cry
I wish I could throw away the fear
I wish I could come right out and say
Baby, I'm dying for you
The lyrics of Engelbert Humperdinck's song "You Are My Love" talk about the singer's deep love for someone but their inability to express it freely due to fear. The lyrics convey the idea that sometimes, we find it difficult to express our true feelings to the ones we love. The singer admits to having never truly told or shown the person how much they mean to them. The words that they want to say are locked away, and they wish they could set them free. The singer is overcome with emotion when they are near this person and wishes they could throw away the fear.
The lyrics are particularly moving as they express the feeling of being in love but not being able to express it as we would like. It conveys the sentiments of someone who is unable to express the depth of their feelings despite being in a relationship. The fear of rejection or not being able to live up to the expectations is often the reason behind the singer's silence in expressing what they truly feel. The song is a testament to the struggles that we all face while navigating through our relationships and how vulnerable it can make us feel.
