More And More
Vera Lynn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

More and more this heart of mine confesses
More and more I'm caught in your caresses
Warmed by the breath of your sighs
Cooled by the blue of your eyes

More and more I find it more than thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling
More and more I'm less and less I'm willing
To give up wanting more and more of you

More and more I find it more than thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling




More and more I'm less and less I'm willing
To give up wanting more and more of you

It was my Nan's funeral today. They played this song and people cried and swayed to the music. This song made the funeral more human. It allowed more tears to flow while a occasionally smiling at happy thoughts of my Nan.

Thank you for sharing your story.

My Nan was 97 and experienced the war. But there was so little I knew about her due to family divide after my parents divorced. I came to know my Nan in my early adulthood. She was mischievous and had a glint about her, welcoming and always supplied a £10 note in my Christmas card.
I'm grateful for what I knew of her, but this song helps me imagine her younger, dancing and being her just with more energy and movement.

Your story has helped me today. I see more of her history.

Thank you

Alaina

This was put into my recommended again today.

My grandpa passed away two days ago from a heart attack. He had been developing more health problems since 2019 and had a heart attack before and was sent home with just 2 weeks left to live.


But not my grandpa, he was a fighter, and he lasted 3 more years. And he passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family. Although he had had a heart attack we were told it was the most peaceful way he could've gone, it was like he went to sleep. No pain, no more suffering, no more fighting.


He was an amazing man, he loved Jazz and was a professional Jazz musician for most of his life. Going professional at age 16 and being able to travel all over the world, meet amazing people, do multiple movies and TV shows, and support his family doing what he loved.


I never really had a father figure growing up and I lived with my grandparents so he was that figure for me, which made this loss so much harder for me. But I made sure to be there to take care of him in his last days, no matter how scared, stressed, and tired I was.


He fought for all of us and continued to do so until his very last breath, so it was time for us to fight for him too.


I love you, Grandpa. We'll meet again. <3



And to you, random stranger on the internet: thank you. For taking the time to read this and learn a little bit about my grandfather's story. I've always seen comments like mine over the years but never imagined the day I would be writing one myself.
Go make sure to tell your loved ones you loved them.


Last thing, my grandpa had a wide variety of music in his collection, some solo pieces, records, tapes, you name it.

I've made a YouTube channel for him to continue his legacy, if you'd like to check it out feel free to do so. As of writing this there isnt anything on it but there should be very soon.

Edit 2/4/24: The first video has finally been uploaded. It will premiere on 2/7/24 at 12AM PST. Go check it out if you'd like, I'd truly appreciate it.

[Check the first reply, if not its "@JackCoanMusic"]


Take care. <3
