Have I Told You Lately Lyrics by Van Morrison

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

Verse 2

Now the mornin’ sun in all it’s glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort, too
You fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do

Pre-Chorus

There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and mine, like the sun
At the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the One

Have I told ya there’s no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well, darling, I’m telling you now

Every dream I dream is you somehow?

When you’re not with me?
Well, darling, I’m telling you now

My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I’m no good without you, anyhow
