More Than You Know
Unveiling Depths of Devotion: More Than You Know by Shirley Horn
Lyrics
More than you know, more than you know
Expressing that the depth of feelings goes beyond the knowledge of the person being addressed.
Man of my heart, I love you so
Addressing a significant person in the speaker's life, emphasizing deep affection.
Lately I find, you're on my mind
Noticing that the person is frequently in the speaker's thoughts.
More than you know
Reiterating the intensity of feelings beyond what the person realizes.
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Regardless of being right or wrong, the speaker will remain devoted to this person.
Man of my heart, I'll string along
Committing to accompany and support the significant person despite circumstances.
You need me so, so
Stressing the person's essential need for the speaker's presence and support.
More than you'll ever know
Highlighting that the person underestimates the depth of the speaker's feelings.
Loving you the way that I do
Expressing the intensity and depth of love toward the person.
There's nothing I can do about it
Feeling powerless to change the strong love felt for the person.
Loving may be all you can give
Suggesting that love might be all the person can offer.
But baby, I can't live without it
Admitting inability to live without the love received from the person.
Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd sigh
Imagining the emotional distress if the person decides to leave.
If you grew tired and said goodbye
Expressing the emotional response if the person becomes weary and leaves.
More than I'd show
Admitting that the speaker conceals more emotions than revealed.
More than you'll ever know
Emphasizing again that the depth of feelings is underestimated by the person.
Loving you the way that I do
Reiterating the overwhelming love felt towards the person.
There's nothing I can do about it
Feeling powerless to change the intensity of love felt for the person.
Loving may be all you can give
Suggesting that the person's capacity for love might be limited.
But baby, I can't live without it
Expressing the inability to exist without the love received from the person.
Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd sigh
Imagining the emotional distress if the person decides to leave.
If you grew tired and said goodbye
Describing the emotional reaction if the person grows tired and leaves.
More than I'd show
Admitting that the speaker conceals more emotions than revealed.
More than you'll ever know
Emphasizing again that the depth of feelings is underestimated by the person.
I love you, darling
Directly expressing love towards the person.
More than you will ever know
Reiterating that the person doesn't fully comprehend the depth of the speaker's love.
