The song "Sincerely" by Victor Wood is a romantic ballad about a man professing his love for a woman who doesn't feel the same way about him. He sings "Sincerely, oh yes, sincerely, 'Cause I love you so dearly, Please say you'll be mine" to express his deep affection for her. He is willing to do anything for her, but she is not interested in being with him. The lyrics reveal his confusion and desperation as he asks the Lord why he loves her so much, despite her resistance to him. He promises to never let her go, even though she doesn't want him.
The lyrics capture the common theme of unrequited love, which is something most people can relate to on some level. The song's emotional impact is heightened by Victor Wood's soulful delivery, making it a timeless classic.

I'm part of the new generation, but I still really appreciate this song. Its message is sweet, and I hope people my age listen to these type of songs --- songs with a wholesome meaning rather than music with vulgar lyrics :) Anyway, love this song!

This song brings back good memories when I was a boy. At a party of operatic singers, a young tall good looking aspiring actor was asked to sing a song.... he sang this song beautifully.
