Since when did a man need to be free of his sin
To see the face of the moon and feel the warmth of a friend?
I come from miles and miles away, from a far and distant place
But I pray every night to dream of the light of your face
The more I know you, I love you
More than moutains of j**els
More than months of honeymoons
More than gold loves a fool
I love you
I'd give up everything I have, which isn't much to say the most
But you'd be my honored guest, then I'd be a gracious host
If you're the Paradise I seek, then I was born in hell
If you're the garden where we sit, then I sit on land untilled
The more I know I love you
More than moutains of j**els
More than months of honeymoons
More than gold loves a fool
I love you
More than shade under a tree
On a sunny day in Tennessee
More than I love me,
I love you
Wish all the people throughout time knew what I know about you
How they harmed the ones you loved, and how they tried to harm you, too
But you repelled hatred with love, and you invited friend and foe
And though the lies they speak pain me, it's that you're gone that hurts the most
The more I remember you, I love you
More than moutains of j**els
More than months of honeymoons
More than gold loves a fool
I love you
More than shade under a tree
On a sunny day in Tennessee
More than I love me,
I love you
