I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know

Gary Moore's song "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" is a deeply emotional ballad that explores themes of love, sacrifice, and vulnerability. The lyrics convey a man's heartfelt plea to his partner, emphasizing the depth of his love and the lengths he is willing to go to maintain their relationship. The song opens with a declaration that if he ever leaves or hurts his partner, it would be as painful for him as it is for her, highlighting the interconnectedness of their emotions.

The song delves into the sacrifices the man has made, such as bringing home his paycheck without spending a cent on himself. This act of selflessness is a testament to his commitment and love. He questions whether his actions are the right way to carry on, expressing a sense of doubt and seeking reassurance from his partner. The repeated refrain, "I love you more than you'll ever know," underscores the intensity and sincerity of his feelings.

Moore's lyrics also touch on the man's desire to be more than just an ordinary partner. He wants to be someone his partner can love, trust, and understand. He acknowledges his imperfections, admitting that he is only flesh and blood, but he is willing to be whatever his partner needs, whether it's the king of everything or just a tiny grain of sand. This vulnerability and willingness to adapt to his partner's needs make the song a poignant exploration of love's complexities and the desire for mutual understanding and acceptance.
