Lesley Garrett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the love I'll give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in keeping waking,
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure
No one could love you more.
More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll still be mine
Now I know I have never lived before and my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
The song "More" by Lesley Garrett is a beautiful declaration of love that goes beyond words. The initial lines set the tone for the song - the love that the singer feels for her partner is greater than any love that has ever existed. She expresses her commitment to loving her partner singularly, without reservation. The chorus speaks of the singer's longing for her partner's presence and the intensity of her love. She states that her life revolves around that love, and she would do anything to keep it, including laughing and weeping.
The second verse once again brings up the idea of timelessness. The singer claims that her love for her partner will outlast forever and that she has never felt this way before. The final lines of the song echo her earlier statements, with the addition of declaring that no one else could love her partner more than she does.
Overall, the song is a beautiful love ballad with a simple yet powerful message. It speaks of love that transcends time and space and is focused on one person only. The lyrics are poetic, and the melody is emotive, making it a perfect love song.

Again, why can we not just watch the whole of this person’s history as it was obviously completed??
Why make it just a little portion?🧐

I’m just glad that they are here to watch. I put a “like” on each one after I see it so that when I click on to see another one, I know which one I’ve seen already.
