more love
music & lyrics by jack segal
arranged by jeremy lubbock
i should have listened more
and listened well
i should have been your shelter
in the rain.
i should have touched you more
and held you closer
'til i felt it melt
your quiet pain.
should have had more time to spare for you,
should have been there for you,
to care for you.
with more love,
more love.
i should have given you
the gifts i threw
to total strangers
passing through my life.
i could have cuddled near
your gentle flame,
been warmer there
than in these glaring lights.
should have had more time to spare for you.
should have been there for you,
to care for you
with more love,
more love,
more love...
what would it have taken,
if only i had taken
my eyes off of me,
for a while?
i'd have seen the hurting hiding
deep behind the curtain of your smile,
your smile.
i swore i didn't know
which goes to show
how long it took for me to understand.
but, if i say enough,
and try enough,
and pray enough,
and cry enough,
i can
i still can.
have more time to spare for you,
always be there for you,
to care for you
with more love,
more love,
more love.
