Here where the sea is shining bright And the wind is blowing strong On an old stone terrace Looking out across Sorrento’s bay A man embraces a young woman After all the tears she’d cried Then he clears his trembling voice And begins again to sing I love you more than words can tell So very, very much, you know It’s like an endless chain That melts the blood inside my veins He saw the lights upon the water Thought of the nights in far America But they were only fishing lanterns And the white trail of a passing wake He heard the sorrow in the music And rose up from the piano But when the moon slipped from the clouds Even death seemed soft and gentle He looked into the young girl’s eyes Those green eyes like the sea itself Then suddenly a tear escaped And he thought that he would drown I love you more than words can tell So very, very much, you know It’s like an endless chain That melts the blood inside my veins Such is the power of a song Where every tragedy can fade With just a little make-believe And the art of changing who you are Yes, life itself was drawing closed But he no longer feared the end Instead he felt a quiet joy And once again began to sing… I love you I love you so very much I love you more than words can tell So very, very much, you know It’s like an endless chain That melts the blood inside my veins It’s like an endless chain That melts the blood inside my veins
