LYRICS:
Baby
Morning's just a moment away
And I'm without you once again
You laughed at me
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now
We played the games that people play
We made mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
Remembering the pain, if I must stay
It's deep in my mind, and locked away
But then most of all
I Do Love You
Still
Memories
Times I'm sure, will never forget
Those feelings we can't put aside
For what we had
Sometimes I try to understand
But it's so heavy on my mind
So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?
Lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I Do Love You
Still
We played the games that people play
We made mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
'Cause I needed you so desperately
We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you
Still

I have watched this many times. She has the absolute best version of this song. Her voice is heart-stopping and takes my breath away!!!

[@Nicasitojoe]

I heard that she sort of dedicated this song to her daughter who committed suicide a few months before this appearance. God bless her. She knows how to convey feeling and sentiment into this wonderful song. A class act.

[@gailcrook2687]

They made a drama about her, it was very good

[@PaxTecum777]

no wonder she was crying..it was emotional.....something very private in her life..the words of this song is so powerful.

[@billyd9650]

Such a beautiful song as well as a beautiful artist singing it. There is only one Shirley Bassey and when she was born God gave her a voice like one of his Angels. There is no other voice like hers. Truly a gift from heaven.

[@junedefour4949]

My Lullaby and Good 🌙 Night tear jerker 😥😢😭

[@claudiascott6484]

Wow. Love how she interprets and performs this. Song. Bravo to DSB 👏 👏 👏

[@jeremayjayegayta7422]

The song itself is already emotional, but when Dame Shirley sings it the emotion becomes extraordinarily strong, I feel as if I was in the story she was having her mind while singing. Dame Shirley has this power to make her listeners feel what she feels in the song.

The Dame Shirley Bassey is very passionate, and when she came back out for the farewell she showed humility after a grand, with tears performance. I thank her for sharing said talent. Tyler Lord Hamilton

[@michaelcrouch7869]

So DESPERATELY!

[@richardyates2246]

Magnificent! cannot watch the end without bursting into tears myself. I believe she is remembering her first husband, Kenneth Hume. They married in 1961 and he became her manager, but they sadly divorced in 1965. Shirley announced her re-engagement to her ex husband at the Pigalle nightclub later the same year, but they didn't re-marry. Kenneth was still her manager when he died in tragic circumstances in 1967.

[@sas9023055]

Richard: She also may be remembering the tragic death of her daughter Samantha in 1985 under suspicious circumstances. The cause, including foul play, was never determined. I realize the song depicts more of a sexual relationship, but some of the words still would be hard to sing by someone who recently lost their child. Regards, Scot

[@poeticjustice3093]

Her daughter committed suicide..

[@sas9023055]

ATTENTION: Dame Shirley Bassey will be appearing at the 2013 Academy Awards Show In Hollywood on February 24th. She will perform for the 50th James Bond anniversary celebration! Wonderful News! Bassey is herself celebrating 60 (Diamond) years in Show Business, starting back in 1953.

Música, arranjo e interpretação magistral dessa fenomenal Shirley Bassey, sublime inspiração musical.

[@wellingtonmiddleton3739]

Did she experience some great lost in her life around this time ? I could feel & see the pain in her voice and in her face. What a performance.

[@sas9023055]

You have great insight into emotions, and what is true versus just an act. Although Shirley would have made a great actress, what you are seeing here is genuine emotion. Shirley's daughter, Samantha, was found dead beneath the Bristol Bridge at 21 years old back in 1985. Some say it was suicide, but Shirley contends it was a homicide. After about a year, she tried to come back on the concert tour, but when she went to sing the first note....NOTHING. She lost her voice! It took time and a vocal coach to get her voice back again. A decade earlier, Shirley also found out that her first husband was gay. They tried to make a go of it, but it didn't work out, and finally they divorced. A few years later he committed suicide. Although the marriage didn't work out, they still loved each other in their own special way. When Shirley was much younger a former boyfriend broke into a hotel where she was staying and held her at gun point all night, and threatened to kill her. Obviously, she made it through, but that was a harrowing night. These are just a few of the bad memories in Shirley's life that have affected her emotions when singing sad songs...

[@wellingtonmiddleton3739]

@@sas9023055 Thanks, no wonder she sings with so much emotions and, yes, she would have been and would be a great actress if she choose. No performer dominates the stage like Dame Shirley . . . She's simply the best.

[@MrSwifts31]

In 1967,Shirley was appearing at the nightclub "The Talk of the Town" We had reservations for the night following Kenneth Hume's suicide.We didn't expect Shirley to appear,but being the trouper she was,she did.She chose(?) to start with this song,"You can have him I don't want him" after she finished there was little applause(at first) just quiet sobbing (true) and this was followed by deafening applause. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5LOdnasocqVnMk

[@linevuj39]

Lionel Richie quando fez essa música devia estar com inspiração "braba", como disse Roberto Carlos ao compor DO FUNDO DO MEU CORAÇÃO. Agora vem Shirley e me faz chorar. Tirou das entranhas tanta força para essa interpretação magnífica. Ela não é só uma cantora igual as demais, ela uma atriz, também. Valeu, Shirley!
