Lyrics: Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

It Must Have Been Love
Roxette

Lay a whisper on my pillow
leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely there's air of silence
in the bedroom and all around
touch me now I close my eyes and dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
it must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
from the moment we touched 'til the time had run out

Make-believing we're together
that I'm sheltered by your heart
but in and outside I've turned to water
like a teardrop in your palm
and it's a hard Christmas (winter's) Day I dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
it was all that I wanted now I'm living without
It must have been love but it's over now
it's where the water flows
it's where the wind blows

Happy Birthday Marie Fredriksson, one half of Roxette!!
