Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so
More than you'll ever know
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But, honey, I can't live without it
Oh, how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired and said Goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
The lyrics of Steve Lawrence's song More Than You Know express deep and unconditional love for someone who may not reciprocate the same feelings. The lyrics suggest that this love is not impacted by distance or time, whether the person remains close or wanders away. The singer emphasizes that even if the person is false or not successful, his love for them will continue to grow stronger. The lyrics also convey a sense of selflessness and willingness to support and uplift the person, even if others have forsaken them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "More than you know" multiple times, emphasizing the depth and intensity of the singer's love. He mentions that he thinks about this person often and that he needs them in his life more than they will ever know. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to sacrifice and cry for this person but might not express the intensity of his feelings in the open.
Overall, the song conveys the importance of love and the emotional vulnerability that often comes with it. The lyrics beautifully describe the complexities of love and how it can drive a person to do the unimaginable to keep it going.
