         Stanley Robert Vinton(born April 16, 1935), better known by his stage name Bobby Vinton, is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. As a teen idol, he became known as 'The Polish Prince', as his music paid tribute to his Polish heritage. One of his most popular songs is "Blue Velvet" (a cover of the 1951 song recorded by Tony Bennett) which reached Nº 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963 and No. 2 in the UK in 1990.

        Melodies of Love is Bobby Vinton's twenty-fourth studio album and his first studio album for ABC Records. It was released in 1974.

           The album was released in response to popular demand, following Vinton's million-selling single "My Melody of Love", his first single in two years, which proved a successful comeback and earned Vinton the nickname "the Polish Prince". After the song became a #3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and a #1 adult contemporary hit, the semi-eponymous album was released, reaching #16 on the Billboard Hot 200 list of popular albums and going gold.

        "My Melody of Love" is the first track on the album and is the album's highest charting single. Cover versions include Olivia Newton-John's hit "I Honestly Love You", Alice Faye's "You'll Never Know" and Al Martino's "Here in My Heart". The fifth track, "Am I Losing You", is a reworking of the Italian song "Io ti darò di più" with a few English lyrics replacing some of the Italian 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.
