Engelbert Humperdinck [Artist] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't try to forget , you and I never met
And before you fly, one kiss should tell me why
You've forgotten all the words that you once said
Long as I've got you there beside me
Long as you're there to stand and guide me
The love we share no one can ever tear apart
Long as it's you the love I'm with then
I'll keep on calling you sweetheart
If my love for you can't make you happy
Just open the door and you won't see my anymore
And before you fly , one kiss should tell me why
You've forgotten all the words that you once said
When you said
Long as I've got you there beside me
Long as you're there to stand and guide me
The love we share no one could ever tear apart
Long as I've got this life I'm living
Long as it's you the love I'm with then
I'll keep on calling you sweetheart
And I'll keep on calling you sweetheart
In this classic song by Engelbert Humperdinck titled "Sweetheart," the lyrics describe a love that seems to be tested. The singer is aware that his/her partner may be thinking of leaving, but before he or she does, the singer wants to know why. The lyrics plead for one final kiss to determine if there is still love between them or if all those past words of endearment have been forgotten. The singer seems to be optimistic that the love they share cannot be broken, and as long as they are together, they can overcome any obstacle that comes their way.
Furthermore, the song emphasizes on the value of unconditional love, and despite the challenges, the singer will continue calling his/her partner sweetheart. The message suggests that as long as the two are in love, everything will fall into place.
Overall, "Sweetheart" is a touching song that speaks to the heart and soul of what true love means. It reflects the challenges that come with relationships and the importance of communication, forgiveness, and unconditional love to keep the bond strong.

I saw this man in concert in 1984 and saw him 30 years later and he was perfection in both concerts. The comment "another great song written by the Bee Gees done by a magic voice" says it all!! Started listening to him in the early 70's and his CD The Man I Want to Be is fantastic.
