If I Could Love You More
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Praying for the times we shared together
Of which I thought they'd last forever
To somehow re-appear
Wondering what it would be like
If you would be there when morning's broken
Too many things were left unspoken
.
It I could only be with you
There's still so many things for us to do
The years have passed and tears still fill my eyes
Every time I think about our love that never dies
Wishing you were with me now
Wondering why the laughing and the crying
The making fun, and never lying
Just had to disappear
Thinking what it would be like
To re-live the love and care you gave me
To thank you for those limes you saved me
Oh why can't you be here
If I could only be with you
There's still so many things for us to do
The years have passed and tears still fill my eyes
Every time I think about our love that never dies
All I have in life
I would gladly give away
If it meant for one day
You'd be there
.
If I could only be with you
There's still so many things for us to do
The years have passed and tears still fill my eyes
Every time I think of you, still hurts inside
If you could only hear me now
If I could get these words to you somehow
For a moment I would make you realise
I'm still so proud to share with you
This love that never dies
I want so much to let you know
Our love will never die

The lyrics convey the singer's deep sense of longing and regret for the love and connection they once shared. The first verse expressing the regret of not having expressed enough to the loved one while they were still alive. The second verse deals with the singer's desire to relive the beautiful moments once shared by the two. The chorus repeats the lyrics of the song's title, each time conveying a renewed sense of longing and regret.
The third verse changes the tone of the song, with the singer declaring their willingness to give up everything in their life for just one more day with their loved one. The final verses talk about the singer's desire to communicate with their loved one, to make them realize that their love is immortal and will never die.
Among the many interpretations of the song, it may be seen as an ode to a loved one that passed away or a relationship that never came to fruition. Still, Poignantly, the touchstone of the song is the sense of longing that the singer conveys so eloquently and the desire for more time to spend with the person they love so much.
