Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm forgetting the past
More and more I'm livin' at last
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you
But oh how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day you said goodbye
More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you
But oh how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you
In "More and More," Pierce Webb sings about the process of moving on from a past love, and finally freeing oneself from their memory. The song speaks of forgetting the past, living in the moment, and feeling happier day by day. The lyrics describe the catharsis of finally letting go of a love that was holding the singer back. Although the singer did try hard to keep the other person by their side, it didn't work, and they eventually had to come to terms with the loss. Despite the sadness and tears, over time, the memories started to fade away until they became less significant.
The first verse of the song starts with the singer describing how they're moving on and living life to the fullest. They're letting go of the past and making new memories. In the second verse, the singer says that they tried hard to keep their love together, but it wasn't enough. Even though they cried and felt incredibly sad, they're now gradually dealing with their emotions and starting to feel better. The chorus repeats the words "More and more I'm forgettin' 'bout you," emphasizing that the singer is moving on and leaving the past behind.
Overall, "More and More" is a heartfelt track about the healing power of time and the importance of letting go. It shows that we can indeed move on from a past love, no matter how hard it might seem at first.

More and more
I'm forgetting the past
More and more
I'm living at last
Day by day
I'm losing my blues
More and more
I'm forgetting about you
But oh how I tried
To keep you by my side
And oh how I cried
The day you say good bye
Day by day
I'm losing my blues
More and more
I'm forgetting about you

But oh how I tried
To keep you by my side
And oh how I cried
The day you say good bye
Day by day
I'm losing my blues
More and more
I'm forgetting about you

The more I hear Webb I come to see his genius expressed in picking and performing great songs! Think of how simple, direct, and heart felt this very song is!

I read that Webb Pierce was the next big thing in country after Hank Williams died, and that he even filled his spot in the Grand Ole Opry. Their sound is very similar, yet still unique from one another. I've been a Hank Williams fan for a long time, and I've been trying to brush up on other country artists from that era. Was very pleased to discover Webb Pierce.
