I've Never Loved You More

(Raymond A. Smith)



I got out of bed this morning, smoked a cigarette or two

Then I read the morning paper just the way I always do

Saw a picture of you darling, and I thought of yesterday

And I know I've never loved you more

Than I'm loving you today.



Heard my wife say come to breakfast

And I quickly turned away

She said darling, what's the matter

aren't you feeling well today.

Oh, it's just an old discontent

And it soon will go away

But I know it's never hurt me more

Than it's hurtin' me today.



What a shame to waste a woman like the one I'm married to

But I know I could love her if it only were for you

I keep praying old mem'ries soon will fade away

But I know I've never loved you more

Than I'm loving you today...
