Tuneful Tuesday - Roxette - must have been love

Originally released in 1987 as a Christmas song, "Christmas for the Broken Hearted", the song's original title, it went on to become a Top 10 hit in Sweden but EMI Germany decided not to the release the track.  Later "It must have been love" featured on the 1990 soundtrack to the popular film Pretty Woman and had a much better run.



"It Must Have Been Love"

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 winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It's 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.
