Following up the surprise Valentine’s Day release of Engelbert Humperdinck’s new single, “I’m Glad I Danced With You (Candlelight Mix)” comes our official lyric video. The heartfelt release is a newly redone and remixed version of his popular duet with his granddaughter, Olivia which was originally featured on the legendary singer’s album, The Man I Want to Be.

“I met my wife when she was 17 years old in a dance-hall. I asked her to dance and we’ve been together ever since.” – Engelbert Humperdinck

“I’m Glad I Danced With You” serves as a love letter to Engelbert’s wife of 54 years, Patricia who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. With lyrics by Engelbert’s daughter Louise Dorsey and songwriter Jim Martin, the song is dedicated to the night Engelbert and Patricia first met at a dance and how their strong love has lasted throughout the years.

Lyrics:

The party’s all over
They’ve turned down the lights
They just gave the last call
But we won’t say goodnight
We’ll be leaving together
Like we always do
Even though we stumbled a time or two
I’m glad I danced with you

I stood beside you
It was your turn to shine
Through seasons of rain
I was there all the time
I grew old in your arms
When others wanted to
Even though we stumbled a time or two
I’m glad I danced with you

And we go ‘round and ‘round
‘round and ‘round, ‘round and ‘round
Like lovers on a carousel
Spinning through time

You’re my Cinderella
And you’ve always been
If I could do it all over
I’d do it again
Even though we’ve stumbled a time or two
And even though the Last Waltz is almost through
I’m glad I danced with you

The party’s all over
The party’s all over
And they turned down the lights
I’m glad I danced with you

“I’m Glad I Danced With You” has quickly become a fan-favorite due to its loving message and Olivia’s impressive vocal performance as she sings the role of her grandmother. Olivia recorded the song with Engelbert when she was just nine years old and it was originally featured on his 2017 album, The Man I Want to Be.

Since the album’s release Olivia has joined her grandfather on stage several times on tour to perform the song. Most recently Olivia appeared alongside her grandfather in his PBS live concert TV Special, Engelbert Humperdinck in Hawaii.
