Lyrics:

Have I told you lately that I love you?
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. Chorus: My heart would break in two if you should leave me. I'm no good without you, anyhow. And have I told you lately that I love you? Well, darling, I'm telling you now. Have I told you lately how I miss you? When the stars are shining in the sky? Have I told you that the nights are long when you're not with me? Well, darling, I'm telling you now. Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping, Every dream I dream is you somehow? Have I told you who I'd like to share my life forever? Well, darling, I'm telling you now. Chorus: |
