Intro

Must have been love
But it's over now

Verse 1

Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, this air of silence
In the bedroom and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

Make-believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I turn to water
Like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winter's day
I dream away

Chorus 2

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

Instrumental

Chorus 3

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

Fun Facts

"It Must Have Been Love" is a poignant ballad that encapsulates the bittersweet essence of love and loss. Released by the Swedish band Roxette in 1987, the song gained widespread recognition when it was featured in the iconic film "Pretty Woman."

Interestingly, the song underwent a transformation, initially written as a Christmas tune titled "It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted)," before being reworked for its inclusion in the film. Despite its evolution, "It Must Have Been Love" remains a timeless testament to the universal experience of love's complexities, offering solace and resonance to those who have ever loved and lost.

The song starts off in the key of C major, but moves up a fourth to the key of F just after the instrumental bridge of the song. It’s interesting to study how great songwriters move from one key to the next. One way is to use chords that belong in both the current key, and also the new key. This makes the transition to the new key more subtle, and you might say more ”elegant”. Enjoy this timeless classic!
