I wake up in the morning I'm still crying, yes I am And on my lips I can taste your goodnight kiss In my room the fragrance of your perfume lingers And I know there must be more to love than this I look across my lonely room and see your picture Your loving smiling face I know I miss, yes I would darlin' And I remembered to another "Your still married" And I know there must be more to love than this The ringing phone sounds like the doorbell to heaven, whoa lord Your voice sounds like an angel full of bliss But I'll go through hell tonight if I don't see you And I know There must be more to love than stolen moments This love it should have brought me happiness Ever since we started lovin' I've started hurtin' hurtin', hurtin' And I know there must be more to love than this Yes I know there must be more to love than this
