About the song
“My Melody of Love” is a timeless classic that has captured the hearts of music lovers around the world. Released in 1974, this beautiful ballad was written by Henry Mayer and adapted by American singer Bobby Vinton, who brought his own unique touch to the song. The original German schlager song, titled “Herzen haben keine Fenster” (“Hearts have no windows”), was a hit in Germany and Austria, performed by Austrian singer Elfi Graf. However, it was Vinton’s version that truly made the song a global phenomenon.
Vinton’s inspiration for the song came while performing in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was struck by the beauty and emotion of Mayer’s original composition. He decided to adapt the song, incorporating his own lyrics and a refrain that switches between English and Polish. The result was a romantic ballad that spoke directly to the hearts of listeners everywhere.
“My Melody of Love” was a massive commercial success, reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and spending one week at number one on the easy listening chart. The song’s success led to Vinton’s nickname “the Polish Prince,” and it remains one of his most beloved and enduring hits. The song has also been performed on numerous television shows, including The Bobby Vinton Show and The Lawrence Welk Show. With its soaring melody and heartfelt lyrics, “My Melody of Love” is a true classic that continues to captivate audiences to this day.

Lyrics
I’m lookin’ for a place to go so I can be all alone
From thoughts and memories
So that when the music plays I don’t go back to the days
When love was you and me
Oh, oh moja droga jacie kocham
Means that I love you so
Moja droga jacie kocham
More than you’ll ever know
Kocham ciebie calem serce
Love you with all my heart
Return and always be
My melody of love
Wish I had a place to hide all my sorrow, all my pride
I just can’t get along
’cause the love once so fine keeps on hurtin’ all the time
Where did I go wrong?
Oh, oh moja droga jacie kocham
Means that I love you so
Moja droga jacie kocham
More than you’ll ever know
Kocham ciebie calem serce
Love you with all my heart
Return and always be
My melody of love
Oh, oh, {“la-la’s” for the first line of chorus}
My melody of love
{“la-la’s” for the first line of chorus}
My melody of love
{“la-la’s” for the first line of chorus}
My melody of love
