“Woman In My Life” — an enduring love ballad from Engelbert Humperdinck
Released in the early 1970s, Woman In My Life quickly made a lasting mark and became one of the most memorable romantic songs of Engelbert Humperdinck’s career. The song was written by renowned songwriters Tony Macaulay and Mike d’Abo, both of whom contributed to many major hits throughout the 1960s and 1970s. With its orchestral arrangement — rich strings, soft piano, and a classic sentimental tone — the track showcases Humperdinck’s signature warm, velvety voice and transforms the song into more than just a record: it becomes a complete emotional experience.
Lyrically, Woman In My Life is a heartfelt tribute to the woman who stands beside the singer through every storm and season of life. It expresses gratitude, admiration, and a deep, unwavering affection — the kind of love built not only on passion, but on companionship, patience, and devotion. Listeners across generations connect to its message easily, because it speaks to something universal: the longing to love and be loved, faithfully and fully.
Decades later, the song still resonates. You can press play, close your eyes, and it feels as real and tender as the first time it was heard. That is the timeless beauty of Woman In My Life: it carries not just melody, but memory — love remembered, love cherished, love that continues to live through music.
