More Than Everything
Flack Roberta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just when I thought my life was over
And that I was through with love
You came along
I found in you something beautiful
And I'll never give it up
You're the reason I go on

You are a dream and I'm dreamer

But I just can't get enough
Cause a dream takes so long
If we should ever use this magic
Where we need it just for love
And what we have made us thought

When we will long
And i see that look in your eyes
I'll realize that you're something wonderful
I can't believe you are so alive
And it seems that love was made just for us

You mean so much to me
More than everything
I never wanted go
And now I'd give the world to you
If i could put it on a street for you
Yes, I would
This is what i mean before
You are everything and more

More than everything to me

Line by Line Meaning

Just when I thought my life was over
I was feeling hopeless and thought that love was out of reach for me

And that I was through with love
I believed that I would never find love again

You came along
Then you entered my life

I found in you something beautiful
I discovered that you are an extraordinary person with wonderful qualities

And I'll never give it up
I am committed to keeping this love we share forever

You're the reason I go on
You give me the motivation to continue living and being happy

You are a dream and I'm dreamer
You are a perfect match for me and I feel like I am living in a dream

But I just can't get enough
I am addicted to the feeling of being with you and never want to be without it

Cause a dream takes so long
It can sometimes feel like our love is taking a long time to become a reality

If we should ever use this magic
If we were to use this special connection we have

Where we need it just for love
To help us overcome any obstacles and keep our love strong

And what we have made us thought
Our love makes us feel like we are invincible and can conquer anything

When we will long
When we are apart and miss each other

And i see that look in your eyes
And I see the love and adoration in your eyes

I'll realize that you're something wonderful
I am constantly in awe of how amazing you are

I can't believe you are so alive
You bring so much joy and energy into my life

And it seems that love was made just for us
Our love feels unique and special, perfectly designed just for us

You mean so much to me
You are incredibly important to me

More than everything
You mean more to me than anything else in the world

I never wanted go
I never want to be without you

And now I'd give the world to you
I would give anything to make you happy and to show my love for you

If i could put it on a street for you
If I could demonstrate my love for you in a grand and public way

Yes, I would
Without hesitation

This is what i mean before
This is what I have been trying to express all along

You are everything and more
You are not only everything I need, but also so much more than I could have ever hoped for

I use to listen to this song when I was in school in the late 70's early 80's. I always loved Peabo and Roberta together.They sang with so much passion and feeling. This song gets me very emotional because it takes me back to good old memories when love was pure.

years go by and this song still melts my heart! I listen to it. The funny things about living and having loved some one …. the joys of all shared and the memories stay strong. This song is of a time that was happy and I have found happiness again. I listened to Steve Harvey tell his wife that he met her happy! I know I am finally happy again ….. Listening to this song, being happy and knowing that I am in love with life itself has such a different sound this time round. One time, after my heart was broken, a refused to play love songs … my flatmate walked in scowled at me … "not because your heart is broken, I must suffer …. let the music play!" I think those words were sobering …..

Just when I thought my life was over and I was through with love, you came along. I finally knew something beautiful and I'll never give it up. You're the reason I go on. You are a dream and I'm a dreamer but I just can't get enough. Cuz the dream takes so long. If we should ever lose this magic well we did it just for love and what we have made us strong. When we're alone and I see that look in your eyes I realize that you're something wonderful I can't believe you are so alive. And it seems that love was made just for us You mean so much to me. More than everything I've ever wanted for. And I'll give the world to you if I could. Put it on a string for you. yes i would. this is what i'm living for . you are everything and more.more than everything to me (repeat) and more.

I wore 2 or 3 cassettes out, replaying this song and the entire album. I believe this is the most beautiful romantic (and my favorite) duet love song I have ever heard. My dream wedding song! Maybe the brides dance. Maybe at my 25th anniversary party. It reminds me of something that should be at the end of a fairy tale. Loveliness!
