If you heart tells you so, that you should leave me
don't try to forget, you and I.. never met [slightly out of sync harmony]
and before you fly, one kiss should tell me why
you've forgotten all the words that you once said..

"Forget, you and I.. never met" with kind of a flangy voice and slightly out of sync harmony, hits the spot.

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 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

If my love for you, can't make you happy
just open the door, and you won't see anymore

"If my love for you, can't make you happy" *check*

"just open the door, and you won't see anymore" *so is he going to blind her or something? (hehe) I always thought it should've been "Just open the door, and you won't see me 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 can 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 (heaaaarrtt)

So this is one of those cuddly romantic song things. Englebert also covered this in the Seventies, and he's known for all those kind of songs: Release Me, Il Mundo, Last Waltz, Am I That Easy to Forget, and the ill, After the Loving. The underlying strings throughout this song really make it great. This is one of my dad's favorites.
