Struggling with More? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Take a look at the mountain Stretching a mile high Take a look at the ocean Far as your eye can see And think of Me Take a look at the desert Do you feel like a grain of sand? I am with you wherever Where you go is where I am And I'm always thinking of you Take a look around you I'm spelling it out one by one [Chorus] I love you more than the sun And the stars that I taught how to shine You are mine, and you shine for me too I love you yesterday and today And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again I love you more Just a face in the city Just a tear on a crowded street But you are one in a million And you belong to Me And I want you to know That I'm not letting go Even when you come undone [Chorus] I love you more than the sun And the stars that I taught how to shine You are mine, and you shine for me too I love you yesterday and today And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again I love you more Shine for Me Shine for Me Shine on, shine on Shine for Me [Chorus] I love you more than the sun And the stars that I taught how to shine You are mine, and you shine for me too I love you yesterday and today And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again I love you more
