Shirley Bassey - MORE (Than The Greatest Love) (1966 Recording)
1966 (Shirley's friend, Norman Newell wrote the English Words to this beautiful Italian song, and Shirley recorded it back in 1966. Unfortunately, this track was one of those extra songs which never made it on to an LP. Thankfully, 28 years later in 1994, this song was included on an EMI Compilation CD, and since then probably has been included on many other such CDs.
ABOUT this song:
This is an Academy-award nominated song with a strange story. It started as an 1962 instrumental entitled "Ti Guardero nel Cuore", featured in the exploitation mockumentary Mondo Cane. Later, English lyrics were added by Newell, and the song became a highly popular new standard of the 1960s. Ortolani would later compose the eerily beautiful theme for Cannibal Holocaust, one of the most disturbing films ever made.
The movie mentioned above was disturbing but once this song was written with English words, it was recorded by many of the greats including Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Connie Francis, Nat King Cole, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and of course Shirley.
LYRICS:
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love that i give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you`ll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking - sleeping - laughing - weeping
Longer than always is a long long time
But far beyond forever
You`ll be mine
I know I`ve never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love that I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you`ll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking - sleeping - laughing - weeping
Longer than always is a long long long time
But far beyond forever
You`ll be mine
I know i`ve never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else
Could love
you mooooorrrrrre
