Van Morrison - Have I Told You Lately

"Have I Told You Lately" is a hit song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and recorded for his 1989 album Avalon Sunset. It is a romantic ballad often played at weddings although it was originally written also as a prayer. (Van Morrison) "........Morrison offers up the lovely and much-loved jazz-pop ballad "Have I Told You Lately?" ........ while Neil Drinkwater's impressionistic piano solo is probably the highlight of the song." "Have I Told You Lately" has become a classic song and has received acclaim by winning a Grammy Award and a BMI Million-Air certificate. When released as a single by Mercury in 1989, it charted at number twelve on US Adult Contemporary Charts and has been a popular cover song with many vocal and instrumental versions recorded by numerous artists and bands. In 1993, Rod Stewart's version charted at number five in the US and UK. 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 Oh the morning sun in all its glory Greets the day with hope and comfort too And you fill my life with laughter You can make it better Ease my troubles that's what you do There's a love that's divine And it's yours and it's mine Like the sun At the end of the day We should give thanks and pray to the One 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 There's a love that's divine And it's yours and it's mine And it shines like the sun At the end of the day we will give thanks And pray to the One 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 Take away my sadness Fill my life with gladness Ease my troubles that's what you do Fill my life with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles that's what you do... Dedicated to my beloved one...
