Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never thought I'd miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel about you
[PreChorus]
As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away
[Chorus]
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best
[Verse 2]
How can it be that we can
Say so much without words?
Bless you and bless me
Bless the bees and the birds
[PreChorus]
I've got to be near you
Every night, every day
I couldn't be happy
Any other way
[Chorus]
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best
[PreChorus]
As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away
[Chorus]
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best
[Outro]
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best
