Dr. John - More Than You Know Lyrics






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
Much more than you'll ever know (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 live without it
Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said "Good-bye"

More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know

Dr. John More Than You Know Comments
  1. M.... B....

    I remember playing a Dr. John (Mac Rebennack) recording for my musical Dad – my favorite track from my favorite Dr. John album recorded with a full-sized symphony orchestra with a gorgeous orchestration (I forget the arranger). The song was MORE THAN YOU KNOW – one of two favorite songs written by Vincent Youmans and Edward Eliscu (their other hit was “Without a Song” -- without which Nancy Sinatra would have had to pick a different theme for her Siriusly Sinatra weekly show!)

    As I put the CD into a Walkman (remember those?) and handed him some quality (Sennheiser) earphones, I wondered what Dad would think of Mac's voice (no more, but no less, gravelly than Louis Armstrong). Dad really liked it – not least for the splendid arrangement. He liked even more the fact that Dr. John was accompanying himself on piano.

    Still my favorite 'character voice' rendition of this great song. Thanks for sharing, OfficialDrJohn.

    That's as good a word as any, Madeleine Sutherland. This version does that to our hearts.

    Yes. My late Dad was a pianist. He was impressed -- first with the piano stylings, but also with Dr. John's 'character' voice. Just posted a note of my own about that. Thanks for your comment, Barb Waldon.
