Full Lyrics
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 all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Have I told you lately when I’m sleeping
Every dream I dream is you I’m keeping
Oh, it’s so wrong to be so right
When I’m with you, my snow white
Have I told you why the sky is so blue
It’s because I’m so in love with you
Every day, every night, every hour
I love you more than I can show
Have I told you lately how I love you
Well, darlin’, I’m telling you now
My love for you is strong and true
My heart and soul belong to you
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 all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
