A great ballad from the 80's

It must have been love but it's over now

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 till the time had run out

Make believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside, I turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm

And it's a hard 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

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 till the time had run out

Yeah, 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

It must have been love but it's over now (now)
It must have been love but it's over now (now)

IT MUST HAVE BEEN= (“must have” used for positive deductions about the past) I’m quite sure it was love.

LAY= Put down.

WHISPER= Words pronounced softly.

PILLOW= The part of the bed where you rest your head (see picture)

DREAM AWAY= I forget about reality and dream.

IT’S OVER= It has finished.

SOMEHOW= I don’t know exactly how.

TILL= Until.

RUN OUT= Finished, come to an end (because we used it all and there is no more)

MAKE BELIEVING= To make believe is to pretend (but it’s not real)

SHELTERED= Protected, safe.

HEART= /hɑ:*t/ The inner organ where emotions are supposed to be.

TURNED TO= Changed into, became.

TEARDROP= A drop of tear (tears come from your eyes when you cry because you are so sad)

PALM= /pɑ:m/ The inner part of your hand.

LIVING WITHOUT= Living without your love. Also, the expression "to live without" may mean to live without your basic needs. But "without" may also be an adverb (outside), so it may also be "I'm living outside" or outdoors, unprotected.

FLOWS= If the water flows, it moves to a lower place (like rivers moving)

Simple message: I think I loved you very much, but now I don't. Nevertheless, what we had was very good and now I'm really sad we lost it. Also, I'm sorry I didn't appreciated it fully when I had it. In fact, I miss you so much that I really wish I could love you again and go back to you.

Crazy, eh? Just like in real life ;)
