Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than eternity
And the more I know of you
All the more I love you
I need you more each day
Much more than words can say
More than forevermore
The silver moon will fade too soon
And bring the dawn when you'll be gone
Before you go, please let me know
That what you feel is really real
So do not grieve that I must leave
Because I live only for
Your love an' mine
More and more!
You're more than life to me (ohh!)
More than eternity
And the more I know of you
All the more I love you
I need you more each day
Much more than words can say
More than forevermore
I'll be yours
More than forevermore
I'll be yours!
The lyrics of Perry Como's song More express a deep devotion and love for someone. The repetition of the word "more" emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings. The first two lines compare the person to life and eternity, suggesting that they are essential and timeless. The singer then admits that the more they know this person, the more they love them. This suggests that the individual has depth and complexity that the singer continues to discover and appreciate.
The next lines express a need for this person's presence and love. The singer cannot articulate the extent of their desire in mere words. The phrase "more than forevermore" shows a commitment to being with this person beyond the bounds of time. The next stanza acknowledges the transient nature of life and the fear that this person may leave. The singer seeks reassurance that the love they share is real.
The final lines of the song reveal that the singer's entire purpose is to experience their love and that they will always be devoted to them. Overall, the song expresses a deep, all-consuming love that is eternal and beyond measure.

This song was popular in ‘56 while I was teaching blind and crippled children to swim...it has been one of my all time favorites....I am sad to learn that Michel LeeGrand just passed away last year, as he was a most gifted composer of “Brian’s Song” and beautifully sung by Perry....
