[Verse 1] I carry more than one name In the place where my tenderness starts You hear me say “I love you” And think I’ve divided my heart But every bond has its own weather Its own color, its own song What I give to someone else Doesn’t take from what’s been yours all along [Pre-Chorus] I wish you could feel it plainly No contest, no keeping score Love doesn’t empty when it travels It gathers as it goes [Chorus] I have more love than I can spend It doesn’t thin, it doesn’t end I can love you, love them too And still be wholly here with you Nothing you mean gets smaller When another heart is known My love keeps widening its reach Without letting yours go [Verse 2] Your laugh arrives in its own season Their kindness has a different sound I don’t confuse the two of you Or trade one precious thing around If I offer warmth to many That doesn’t make your place less true There are a thousand ways to care And I have one that’s only yours, too [Pre-Chorus] I wish you’d trust the feeling When I say your name with care Love is not a single candle That grows dim because it’s shared [Chorus] I have more love than I can spend It doesn’t thin, it doesn’t end I can love you, love them too And still be wholly here with you Nothing you mean gets smaller When another heart is known My love keeps widening its reach Without letting yours go [Bridge] You are not one among a number You are you, and that is everything There’s no ranking in my devotion Just a different truth in every bond [Final Chorus] I have more love than I can spend It doesn’t thin, it doesn’t end I can love you, love them too And still be wholly here with you Nothing you mean gets smaller Every bond can be its own My love keeps widening its reach And yours remains my own [Outro] I love you—nothing less I love them—nothing less
