I Wish I Could Have Loved You More - lyrics

To whoever asked just now, here are the lyrics...

I Wish I Could have Loved You More.
I wish I could have loved you more.
I wish I could have loved you more.
(repeat)

And ever since that day
I had to say goodbye
How I've longed to change my mind
But I know it won't be right
And in so many ways
You were made to be my man
Why I had to make you cry
I hope you understand.

I wish I could have loved you more.
I wish I could have loved you more.
(repeat)

And ever since that day
I had to say goodbye
How I've longed to change my mind
But I know it won't be right
And ever since that day
I had to say goodbye.

I wish I could have loved you more.
I wish I could have loved you more.
(repeat)



Another of my favorites on the album is this song, but it is a hard choice to make...

All I Need To Hear
That you'd rather be with me Is all I need to hear
Don't deny it please
Don't deny it please
Cause it's all I need to hear.

Just one little white lie
Just one little white lie
Is all I need from you
What harm can it do?

Give me just this lie
So I can keep my pride
If it's just between the two of us
It's all I need to hear.

Just one little white lie
Just one little white lie
Is all I need from you
What harm can it do?

I'll happily post the lyrics to the other tracks on the album if anyone wants them. Love lyrics - love life.

I Wish I Could Have Loved You More...

The album that I've listened to most in the last six weeks, and the one which I continue to do so without fail, is this one.

This is actually the cover of the single I Wish I Could Have Loved You More, which is also available on 7" vinyl, but the album has the same title and the cover illustration is in a very similar vein. This is the début album by Candie Payne and the UK indie label 'Deltasonic' has also had the great sense to release the album on vinyl with an illustrated inner sleeve.
What is more is that it is also frighteningly good, if rather different to that which might usually make the charts, and when she needs backing vocalists she calls on her brothers, including Sean who is the drummer with the Zutons, and also Abi Harding who is the saxophonist with the same. All are actually very good backing vocalists but neither this album or their contributions to it sound remotely like the Zutons own works.

The opening track, I Wish I Could Have Loved You More, may sound rather like a James Bond theme tune that is just slightly too realistic and melancholy to be real and so, and therefore also in many other ways, this is the track that goes far towards defining the whole theme from the start. If an album can be wistful and sometimes nostalgic, but also both positive and realistic at the same time, then listening to the first side will probably seem too good to be true. The second side might actually, however, turn out to be the better one and that really is an achievement.
I have found three singles, all taken from the album, that are available on 7" vinyl; these are 'I wish I could have loved you more', 'Take me' and 'All I need to hear', which are tracks 1,3 and 5 respectively on the first side of the 12" LP.
