Shirley Bassey - ADAGIO (2020 Recording)

2020: Vocal veteran phenom Dame Shirley Bassey recorded a wonderful cover of the song, Adagio. She included this track on what many believe will be her last album, and it is called, 'I Owe It All To You. The song Adagio was of Italian origin. The English Lyrics were written by several songwriters, and the most well know is singer/songwriter Lara Fabian. Lara had a hit with this song back in 1999.

Dame Shirley has been in the business for almost 70 years, and she was rewarded for her efforts with a Top 5 hit album. Her voice has aged like fine wine. Dame Shirley is still able to punch it to hit those huge high fidelity belter notes. I have no doubt that if she wanted to continue to record for many more years to come, she could! Please Dame Shirley,,,,think about it!

LYRICS:
I don't know where to find you
I don't know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin
Within my heart and my soul
I wait for you
Adagio

All of these nights without you
All of my dreams surround you
I see and I touch your face
I fall into your embrace
When the time is right I know
You'll be in my arms
Adagio

I close my eyes and I find a way
No need for me to pray
I've walked so far
I've fought so hard
Nothing more to explain
I know all that remains
Is a piano that plays

If you know where to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man to say
You won't let me go
Adagio

Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man to say
You won't let go
Don't let me go
Adagio
