MORE THAN WORDS CAN TELL
(Porter Wagoner)


Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton - 1971


PORTER:
When you're rocking back and forth there by the window
And the sun shines through the silver in your hair
DOLLY:
I'll think of all the years we've spent together
And of all the good and bad times we have shared

BOTH:
We've seen happiness that could match Heaven's beauty
And deep sadness like the flaming pits of hell
But each thing we share just makes our love grow stronger
And I love you more than words could ever tell

DOLLY:
When the golden years have slowly come upon us
And our children have all married off and gone
PORTER:
You know, sweetheart, each day our love grows more exciting
And I love you more as each day passes on

BOTH:
We've seen happiness that could match Heaven's beauty
And we love each other more than words can tell
And each day as we grow closer to God's calling
I pray he'll call us at the same time there to dwell

We've seen happiness that could match Heaven's beauty
And deep sadness like the flaming pits of hell
But each thing we share just makes our love grow stronger
And I love you more than words could ever tell

Yes, I love you more than words could ever tell
