Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do

For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you 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
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all 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 like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do

Love You Every Second - Charlie Landsborough











Down the years
There'll be days
When we must be apart
So I bought this small watch
For to measure the time

The inscription it carries
Comes straight from my heart
To remind you
You'll always be mine

Love you every second
It's simple but so true
Love you every second
Every second I live I'll love you

When you feel You're out fighting
This world on your own
Watch those hands turning round
And remember that phrase

While there's breath in this body
You won't be alone
So believe that old watch
When it says Love you every second
It's simple but so true
Love you every second
Every second I live I'll love you

Every moment is precious
So don't waste a one
For you'll never recover
A moment that's gone

Love can sometimes Get lost
In an ocean of time
But my heart will not change

And I want you to know
You possess every drop
God allows to be mine
I decided a long time ago

Love you every second
It's simple but so true
Love you every second
Every second I live I'll love you
Every moment of time I'll love you
