Have I Told You Lately LINKS ABOUT THIS SONG music/lyrics: Van Morrison release date of this version: June 17, 2025 length: 4 min 16 sec vocals: Chris Tong karaoke arrangement: Zoom Karaoke Official My cover of a very beautiful song, Have I Told You Lately, from Van Morrison. A love song often played at weddings, Have I Told You Lately was originally written as a prayer to the Divine, and that's how I sing it. LYRICS [INTRODUCTION: INSTRUMENTAL] 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 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 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. At the end of the day Let us give thanks and pray To the One The Great One Have I told you lately that I love you? Ah, have I told you lately that there's no one else above you? Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do [INSTRUMENTAL] 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 Let us give thanks and pray To the One To the Great One Have I told you lately that I love you? Oh, have I told you lately that 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 Fill my life with gladness Take away all my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do Fill my heart with gladness Take away all my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do ADDITIONAL NOTES Key change. I lowered the key of the song three notes to better fit my voice. Lyric changes. The original lyrics are beautiful, and I only made a couple of small changes. The original lyrics use the unusual reference, "The One", to refer to God or the Divine. I like it! But because "The One" sounds a bit "theological", I repeated it in the slightly longer phrase, "The Great One", which is a phrase that the heart can resonate with and be moved by. The original lyrics include the following passage: |
