Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I try to hide what my eyes won’t conceal
I try to tell myself “This isn’t real”
I lock my heart, but each beat keeps revealing
Every little throb I feel
Refrain
More and more, this heart of mine confesses
More and more I’m caught in your caresses
Warmed by the breath of your sighs
Cooled by the blue of your eyes.
More and more I find it more than thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling
More and more I’m less and less unwilling
To give up wanting more and more of you
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
