More And More
Bill Anderson & Jan Howard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Day by day I'm losin' my blues more and more I'm forgetting bout you
I wish you knew how hard I'd tried to keep you by my side
And I wish you knew how many tears I cried the day we said goodbye
Day by day I'm losin' my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you
I tried everything in my power to keep you by my side
And the worst day of my life was the day that we said goodbye
The song More And More by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard is a melancholic ode to a past love slowly fading away from the singer's memory. The lyrics speak to the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The repetition of the phrase "more and more" emphasizes the gradual process of forgetting and living in the present. The singer wishes that their former lover knew how much they tried to keep them close, and how much they suffered after the breakup. But despite the sadness, the song also carries a sense of hope and the possibility of healing. As time passes, the blues are slowly disappearing and the memories are becoming less painful. The melody is simple and understated, allowing the lyrics to take center stage and convey the emotions of the singer.
