"Hello," a curly-haired, blue-eyed man with a strong Welsh accent greeted him. "What was that you said? And, why are you at a lonely table just for one, in a bright and crowded room?"

Answer: the way it used to be

Released in February 1969, "The Way It Used to Be" reached Number Three on the UK Singles Chart and Number Four on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart in the US. It is included on Engelbert's 1969 album simply titled "Engelbert." Francesco Cassano, Corrato Conti, Gianni Ernesto Argenio, Roger John Greenaway and Roger Frederick Cook wrote it.

Answer: there goes my everything

"There Goes My Everything" by Dallas Frazier was included on the US issue of Engelbert's 1967 album, "Release Me," but not on the UK issue. While the song only reached Number Twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, it rose to Number Two on the UK singles chart.
3. Lost in the shadows of the past, the Englishman took a sip of his wine. The Welshman watched him in concern. "What are you thinking?" he asked. The Englishman blinked, as though banishing a lovely but painful memory. "Where are those sweet Septembers, the joy my heart remembers?" he said sadly. "Why did the dream go by so fast? Was it __________?"

Answer: too beautiful to last

"Too Beautiful to Last", the love theme from the film "Nicholas and Alexandra," is on Engelbert's 1972 album "In Time." It was written by Richard Rodney Bennett and Paul Francis Webster. In the US, the song charted at Number Sixteen on the Adult Contemporary chart. It reached Number Fourteen in Britain.
4. "You're just revivin' old emotions," the Welshman awkwardly tried to comfort his friend, who shook his head. Again he looked toward the girl.

He looked up and asked plaintively, "__________?"

Answer: Am I that easy to forget

"Am I That Easy to Forget" was written in 1958 by Carl Belew and W.S. Stevenson. Though Belew and other artists, including Debbie Reynolds and Patty Page, recorded the song, Engelbert had the most successful version. Recorded in August 1967, Engelbert's record peaked at Number Eighteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number One on the Adult Contemporary chart in the US. It also reached Number Three on the British singles chart and Number One on Ireland's singles chart.

The song, which was released on the US issue of his 1967 album "The Last Waltz," remains a favorite with Engelbert's fans.

6. "But beautiful!" the Welshman exclaimed. "How did the two of you meet?" The Englishman relapsed into gloom. "This time one year ago, I had __________ with her, two lonely people together. I fell in love with her."

Answer: the last waltz

"The Last Waltz" by Les Reed and Barry Mason was Engelbert's second Number One hit. Indeed, it was his second Number One of 1967.

In 2012, he was the first "heritage" artist to receive the Official Number One Award, an award created in December, 2011 by the Official Charts Company, which administers the British singles chart. In partnership with BBC Radio 1, OfficialCharts.com presents the trophy to a new artist who reaches Number One. On May 16, 2012, Engelbert received two trophies one for "Release Me" and one for "The Last Waltz."
7. "It's not unusual. It happens every day," the Welshman murmured with a slight smile hovering behind his mustache. The Englishman didn't seem to hear him, but pursued his own thought.

Answer: Love me with all your heart

The Spanish song "Cuando calienta el sol" was written in 1961 by Rafael Gaston Perez. Confusion surrounds the identity of the English lyricist. According to Wikipedia: "The English lyrics are sometimes credited to Michael Vaughn (or Maurice Vaughn) and sometimes to Sunny Skylar."

Engelbert first recorded "Love Me with All Your Heart" on his 1970 album "We Made It Happen."
8. "And then what?" the Welshman asked gently. The Englishman shrugged. We made it happen," He said. "And then the flame of love died in her eyes and she said," he swallowed. "She said, 'I don't love you anymore. To live a lie would bring us pain. So, __________, and let me love again.'"

Answer: Release me

"Release Me" was Engelbert's break-out song and remains his signature tune. The single spent a total of fifty-six weeks on the British singles chart, six of them at Number One. It was truly an international hit, reaching Number One in Ireland and Flanders, Number Four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, Number Thirteen in South Africa and Number Twenty-two in Germany. Written in 1946 by Eddie Miller, Robert Yount, and James Pebworth, "Release Me" is the title song of Engelbert's first album.
9. "That was long ago and far away..." the Welshman paused. Maybe that hadn't been the right thing to say. Sighing, the Englishman brushed away a tear. "Yes," he agreed, "it was __________." He raised his glass and lowered it again. "I try to run away from sad regrets. The bitter wine won't help me to forget that I locked up my heart and threw away the precious key."

Answer: another time, another place

"Another Time, Another Place" is the title song of Engelbert's 1971 album. The single reached Number Thirteen on the British singles chart and Number Five on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in the US. The song was written by Eddie Seago and Mike Leander.
10. The Englishman drew out a red silk handkerchief. "But nothing lasts forever," he said. He met his friend's eyes candidly. " All at once we lost our way." The Welshman paused.

Hello, goodbye, and suddenly it's over, and there's nothing you can do. Too bad you couldn't make your dreams come true.

Answer: dommage dommage

In a sense, it can be said that "Dommage, Dommage" by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss started Engelbert's career. This is the song with which he won a contest in Belgium in 1966. Though he did not record "Release Me" till January of 1967, it is reasonable to consider that "Dommage, Dommage" laid the foundation for his international success.
11. How are you getting on now?" the Welshman asked after a short silence. The Englishman spoke steadily. "Every day I wake up, then I start to break up." His voice broke. "Lonely is __________. Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out."

Answer: a man without love

Engelbert recorded "A Man without Love" in 1968. It was the title song of his album release that year. The single rose to Number Three on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in the US and to Number Two on the UK's singles chart. Barry Mason wrote the English lyrics. The Italian song "Quando M'innamoro" was written by Roberto Livraghi, Daniele Pace and Mario Panzeri.
12. "Still?" The Welshman paused. "Do you think you'll ever get over her?" he asked quietly. The Englishman shook his head. Hardly noticing what he was doing, he drained his glass. "I was a fool, and like a fool I cannot hide my sorrow," he said gloomily. "__________ maybe there'll be a new love to love me. I can't go on belonging to the past. But I pray that one day __________ she'll come back and be mine."

Answer: in time

"In Time" by John Backy and Detto Mariano, with English lyrics by Norman Newell and Denis King (sometimes listed as Gilbert King) is the title song of Engelbert's 1972 album. The single failed to chart in the UK but reached Number Twelve in the US on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.
13. "Someday tonight," the Welshman suggested incautiously. He had been watching the girl and thought she looked just as miserable as his friend. He hadn't meant to speak out loud though. Fortunately, the Englishman seemed not to hear. "Every moment's a day," he said querulously, "Every day seems a lifetime. I can't wait a moment more. Tell me, __________?"

Answer: quando quando quando

The Italian song by Elio Cesari and Alberto Testa was given English lyrics by Pat Boone, a clean-cut American heartthrob of the 1950s who is better known as an actor and singer than a songwriter. He did a fine job with "Quando, Quando, Quando," which has been one of Engelbert's most beloved songs since he recorded it on his 1968 album "A Man without Love." He re-released "Quando, Quando, Quando" with an updated, dance club type beat on "The Dance Album," 1998.
14. "I wish I knew," the Welshman sighed, trying hard to catch the girl's eye. There! She saw him. He beckoned surreptitiously.

The girl tapped him hesitantly on the shoulder. "Take me back again," she pleaded. "We will get a second chance?" "My Cherie Amour," he exclaimed in delight. He folded her in his arms. "We'll find our __________, for love is warmer in December. My darling, stay here in my arms till summer comes along."

Answer: winter world of love

Les Reed and Barry Mason wrote "Winter World of Love." Engelbert's record peaked at Number Seven in Britain. It reached Number Sixteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number Three on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart in the US, while it made Number One on Canada's Adult Contemporary chart.
15. "This night is a magic night," Maria sighed contentedly. "Yes." the Englishman smiled. "And now at last I face the future unafraid. With you here by my side, how fast the shadows fade. And there is hope inside my heart, for I have something wonderful to live for. The world's a better place with you to turn to. __________."

Answer: I'm a better man for having loved you

"I'm a Better Man (For Having Loved You)" by Burt Bacharach and Hal David is on the 1969 album simply titled "Engelbert Humperdinck." The song peaked at Number 15 in Britain and Number Six on the US Adult Contemporary chart.
