I Love You Madly
Fantastic 4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I simply adore
This is what keeps us together
And makes my love for you grow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I found more joy in you, my darling
Than I could ever find in any other girl
For nothing in this world, baby
(Baby, baby, I love you madly)
'Cause I could never let you go
I love you madly
If you should ever choose another
It will shatter all of my dreams
But my love will still pour for you, darling
Pour like water from a flowing stream, oh, oh
If you should ever leave me
It will surely, surely, surely grieve me
I wouldn't want to live
Without the love you give
'Cause I need you badly
(Baby, baby, I need you badly)
I love you, love you
(Baby, baby, I love you madly)
Love you, love you, love you madly
They say that loves comes and goes
Just like the morning sun
But I love you so much more, my darling
Than anybody could ever love anyone
Baby, baby, come closer
(Closer)
Just a little bit closer
(Closer)
And let me whisper in your ear
(Whisper)
Darling, I love you today
More than I did yesterday
But not half as much
As I'll love you tomorrow
You've got everything, everything, everything
I've been searching for
And I'm so grateful, so very grateful that
I won't have to look no more
'Cause I found more joy in you, my darling
Than I have ever found in any other girl
And I wouldn't trade it, oh, no
For nothing in this world, baby
(Baby, baby, I love you madly)
I love you, love you, love you
(Baby, baby, I need you badly)
Love you, love you madly
And I need you, need you
Need you, need you so badly
(Baby, baby, I love you madly)

I remember my Father playing this song and his friend "Cecil" tap-dancing off of it, I was all of 10 yrs old and it was an amazing sight to see, I loved to dance, and the whole experience of them educating me on the history of tap-dancing has never left me, what a memory!
"Rest In Heavenly Peace Kings" Amen!

The Fantastic Four had many hits back in the day. But this jam here blew my mind back in the day. Had the 45rpm, & played it over & over. And hearing it now brings back those precious soulful feelings that I felt then, & still feel now at 67 years old!

I was not alive when this BEAUTIFUL song was made and am saddened to have not known of his greatness. But I am thankful that I was blessed to work with him before his death and hear his MELODIOUS voice EVERY SUNDAY. James Epps was an EXTRAORDINARY ORGANIST/PIANIST. Greatly loved and missed.😢
