She now resides in Monaco and has recently sold her London apartment. Many of its furnishings were auctioned for charity. Two very popular 'Audiences With Shirley Bassey' have aired on British TV, the most recent being in March 2006.
In 2006, UK retailer Marks and Spencer hired Bassey for their Christmas advertising campaign, with Dame Shirley singing a cover of P!nk's 'Get the Party Started'.
In late 2009 Bassey released 'The Performance' her first studio album for two decades, which was released in a maelstrom of anticipation. Still popular well into one of the longest and most illustrious musical careers in British and indeed international history, Bassey is considered by Brits to be a national treasure.
I'll Remember April
Shirley Bassey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had
Alone where we have walked together
I'll remember April and be glad
I'll be content you loved me once in April
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
For flames live such a little while
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll remember April and smile

This lovely day will lengthen into evening
The current happy moment will eventually pass and turn to night
We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had
We will mourn the loss of what we once shared
Alone where we have walked together
We will be left with memories of our past walks together
I'll remember April and be glad
Despite the pain of the current moment, I will cherish the memories of April
I'll be content you loved me once in April
I will find peace in knowing you loved me once, even if it didn't last
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
Our love was fresh and passionate, like the beginning of spring
I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
I am not afraid of the pain and sadness of letting go
For I'll remember April and you
Because of the memories of our love in April, I will always remember you
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
The passion and intensity of our love will fade away
For flames live such a little while
Passionate flames don't last very long
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I will never forget our love, but I won't be alone because of the memories
I'll remember April and smile
When I look back on our love, I will smile despite the pain of the present
