More I See You

Helen Merrill · Other Songs - Helen Merrill

Each time I look at you

Is like the first time

Each time you're near me

The thrill is new

And there is nothing

That I wouldn't do for

The rare delight of the sight

Of you for



The more I see you,

The more I want you

Somehow this feeling

Just grows and grows

With every sigh

I become more mad about you

More lost without you and so it goes



Can you imagine how much I love you?

The more I see you as years go by

I know the only one for me can only be you

My arms won't free you, my heart won't try



I know the only one for me

Can only be you

My arms won't free you,

My heart won't try
