Melancholy Man

Lyrics

Verse 1

He's a melancholy man... though he'd deny it
Sensitive and thoughtful... tries hard to hide it
From everyone...
But me

Verse 2

He said, "This surgery... should go just fine"
"I'm not worried..."
(pause)
"But if it doesn't..."
"You should know... I love you"

Pre-Chorus

Time stood still...
Between those words

Chorus

I love you... I love you... I love you
More than I ever knew
I didn't always... you know that's true
I liked you...
But what did I know... of love?

The years... and you... made it deeper
More than I dreamed it could be
Now you are my whole life...
You are everything... to me

Verse 3

We lived through days... that felt so ordinary
Never saw love...
Changing everything

Pre-Chorus

It grows so quiet...
Till it's all there is

Chorus

I love you... I love you... I love you
More than I ever knew...

(you can ad-lib here--very blues)

Bridge

If the morning comes... without you
Lord, how would I stand?
All of my world... is wrapped around you
You're every dream... I ever planned

Final Chorus

I love you... I love you... I love you
Now I understand
The years... and you... made it deeper
You are my whole life... my love

Tag (soft, almost spoken)

Remember...
I love you... always
