More Than You Know

More Than You Know

music by Vincent Youmans (above)

lyric by Billy Rose (middle) & Edward Eliscu (top)

Whether you are here or yonder, 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, give you the break you need?

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, you need me 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, Baby, I can't do 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...
