Shirley Bassey - Dio Come Ti Amo (OH God How Much I Love You) (1991 Live AND and Musical Video)
1991 - Shirley Bassey recorded this wonderful song title, ’Dio Come Ti Amo (Oh God, How Much I Love You) on her 1991 LP titled, ’How Do You Keep the Music Playing. This clip includes a live performance by Shirley on a German Television Program, and also her Music Video of this song. Live or studio recording, Shirley is simply excellent, and there is no doubt she certainly is one of the vocal greats!
ABOUT the LP, How Do You Keep the Music Playing:
Keep the Music Playing is a 1991 album by Shirley Bassey. The album was recorded in the UK at the Westgreen Studios and in the Netherlands at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum. The album is a mixture of contemporary pop ballads, such as “I Want to Know What Love Is“ from Foreigner, the Jennifer Rush power ballad “The Power Of Love“, and the more gentle “Still“ from Lionel Richie, combined with standards from the field of jazz and pop, such as “He Was Beautiful“, the sweet jazz ballad from Cleo Laine. Several of the songs are sung with a grand, operatic pop style, which may have roots in her 1984 album I Am What I Am, which she recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, and the fact that in the latter mid-1980s she started working with a vocal coach, a former opera singer. Bassey returned to the Beatles with “Yesterday“, as she had previously covered “Something“ and “Fool on the Hill“ successfully in the 1970s, and had performed “Hey Jude“ frequently live. Another previously successful formula was used for the closing track “Dio, Come Ti Amo (Oh God How Much I Love You)“ an Italian original in the tradition of “This is My Life“ and “Natalie“. (“Dio, Come Ti Amo“ was the Italian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1966, performed in Italian by Domenico Modugno).
LYRICS:
Remember, why must I remember?
Why can’t I simply close my eyes, go to sleep
And make him disappear?
Why must I always hear?
Dio come ti-amo
Those were the words he said
Oh god, how much I love you
It still runs through my head
The wind began to blow
And all the leaves were flying
He stood there in the night
And tried to keep from crying
What could I have told him?
What could I say of you?
When love has lost its meaning
It’s over, it’s through
And so I hurried on
For someone new was waiting
To hold me in his arms
In endless celebrating
But that was long ago
And many loves have I
But only one was real
And that I let slip by
Dio come ti-amo
I still can hear him say
Oh god, how much I love you
Yet I walked away
I know it’s much too late
But I’ll go right on praying
To have you back again
So you can hear me saying
Dio come ti-amo
Oh god, how much I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you
