This Must Be Love Lyrics
It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh
This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
[Verse 1]
Well I wait in every day
Ah, just in case you decide to call
And I can hardly wait
'Cause I never thought time could pass so slowly
[Chorus]
Oh, it must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh
This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
[Verse 2]
Happiness is something
I never thought I'd feel again
But now I know it's you that I've been looking for
And day by day, more and more
I know what you think, you've heard it before
Don't tell me I know
But this feeling inside my heart
You know I'm never letting go, because I think that
It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh
This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
[Verse 3]
Words can only say so much
It's hard to express
The things you do to me
You're everything I could ever dreamed you'd be
[Chorus]
Oh, this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh
This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh
This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh
This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh
This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love, oh…

According to website Unmask Us, Phil said in an unquoted interview:
This was me entering the next stage of my life so it isn’t the downer album or the sad album that a lot of people think it is. By the time it was being recorded, and certainly by the time it came out, I was in another relationship so this a very optimistic song.
According to Songfacts, Phil declared in 2010 in an interview for The Mail :
People generally consider my album Face Value as sad, but there are a number of songs on it that show a break in the clouds. This is one.
