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 months of honeymoons
More than gold loves a fool
I love you
Id give up everything I have, which isnt much to say the most
But youd be my honored guest, then Id be a gracious host
If youre the Paradise I seek, then I was born in hell
If youre the garden where we sit, then I sit on land untilled
The more I know I love you
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, its that youre gone that hurts the most
The more I remember you, I love you
