Leo Sayer - Have You Ever Been In Love Lyrics






In the morning light
Half awake and half asleep
Have you ever lay there thinking
Was it all in a dream
But you reach out and she's there
Every moment everywhere
Have you ever been in love
Have you ever felt how far a heart can fall
Have you ever stayed up waiting for a telephone call
Just to hear her say hello
'Cos you miss each other so
Have you ever been in love
Have there been times to laugh
And times you really wanna cry
Finding reasons to believe her
'Cos you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering what it's all about
When she's far away, did you ever felt the need to stray
And tried and then discovered it just doesn't pay
And with her you can be true
For with her you can be you
Have you ever been in love
Have there been times to laugh
And times you really wanna cry
Finding reasons to believe her
'Cos you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering what it's all about

[Solo]

And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
And still she leaves you wondering what it's all about
And when the night comes down
Can you call this house a home
Do you dream you're still together
And wake up alone
Have you ever been in love
The way that I'm in love
Have you ever been in love

Leo Sayer Have You Ever Been In Love Comments
  1. D.... A....

    I was 14 when this came out, have you ever stayed up waiting for a telephone call cause you miss each other so. Really resonated, as I was always waiting up for my boyfriend to call. Married him when I was 24, he broke my heart by cheating, now divorced.

    D.... A....

    Only stay up for your son or daughter never a bloke! sorry he cheated we ain't all like that!bet he regrets it anyway twat 😄

    When this song hit the UK charts. I had not long been going out with my lovely girlfriend Elaine (in my profile photo). We had been going out together for 3 months at the time. Now we have been married for 37 years and 4 months.

  4. T.... K....

    it is funny to know that i just heard this song the last month or so what is more amazing for me it tells my life story of what happened to me in my young days what more amazing i think it happened about 1983? ye true perhaps it tells many other peoples life at a point of time? well i am enjoyed loving this song how did the writer ever know part of my life story? perhaps it happened also to him? or whatever? anyway i am in a new band and we are to perform this song i am the keyboard player and one of the singers girl you know who you are if you are free look me up i still love you 53 now and still love you i did search the world over but did not find you look me up perhaps you find me? i write this in case you read it?

  5. l.... j....

    Have you ever been in love this song was stolen by the great peter cetera, who did not mean to steal it but it did happen .... true

    l.... j....

    Not stolen but covered legally. That's a big difference.

  6. T.... P....

    A real wrist slitter of a song 😥

  7. S.... R....

    Takes me back

  8. S.... F....

    Yes but not reciprocated 😢😢

  9. E.... G....

    The music world misses artists like this you never miss the well till the water runs dry

  10. D.... T....

  12. C.... T....

    So nice to hear this song for the first time in years. I was seven years old when it came out.

  13. M.... S....

    brings back so emotion when i was young ( just part of growing up makes you stronger ) but not good at the time love hurts.

  14. l.... s....

    This song is full of emotions and meaning 😭😭

  19. J.... M....

    Talented singer go see him in concert absolutely fantastic . Jim Irene.

  20. s.... r....

    Someone else has already mentioned the Bucks Fizz connection via Andy Hill but ,in addition, I always thaught they were actually offered the song but rejected it?. Sayer's version, as well as well sung, has a FINE Arif Mardin production and THAT PIANO!!!..simply EXCELLENT. Best part kicks in at the end-@3:11.Play this as the winter sun is setting beneath an icey blue sky, after a golden... sunlit afternoon! HEAVENLY!.

  21. J.... M....

    Jim lrene seen leo in concert 5 times still up there w the best ..

  22. D.... B....

    Now I'm off to Imperium by Machine Head, another classic

  24. J.... M....

    perfect on a number of levels, I keep coming back to this song.

  25. t.... ....

    Undoubtedly the most believable, heartfelt rendition of this song. Even if you find it cheesy, you have to be stone hearted to stay untouched by this version

  26. P.... D....

    I like this song

  27. b.... ....

    This is the best cover of the song.

    In the morning light
    Half awake and half asleep
    Have you ever lain there thinking
    Was it all in a dream?
    But you reach out and she's there
    Every moment everywhere
    Have you ever been in love?

    Have you ever felt how far a heart can fall?
    Have you ever stayed up waiting for a telephone call?
    Just to hear her say hello
    Cos you miss each other so
    Have you ever been in love?

    Have there been times to laugh
    And times you really wanna cry
    Finding reasons to believe her
    Cos you'd die a little if she lied
    When in times of doubt
    Have you ever tried to work it out?
    But still she leaves you wondering what it's all about

    When she's far away, you ever felt the need to stray?
    And tried and then discovered it just doesn't pay
    And with her you can be true
    For with her you can be you
    Have you ever been in love?

    Have there been times to laugh
    And times you really wanna cry
    Finding reasons to believe her
    Cos you'd die a little if she lied
    When in times of doubt
    Have you ever tried to work it out?
    But still she leaves you wondering what it's all about

    And When in times of doubt
    Have you ever tried to work it out?
    And still she leaves you wondering what it's all about

    And when the night comes down
    And you call this house a home
    Do you dream you're still together
    And wake up alone?
    Have you ever been in love the way that I'm in love?
    Have you ever been in love?

    Lovely album!  Full of an enchanting mixture of songs.  We used to listen to this album on cassette in the car on summer holidays in the mid 80s.  I love this song, Orchard Road and Heart stop beating in time.

  60. P.... G....

    Beautiful...just beautiful!

  61. J.... O....

    I don't care who recorded this song before or after Leo Sayer, THIS is the only version as far as I'm concerned!

  62. m.... ....

    The song was written by Andy Hill, John Danter and Pete Sinfield, who also co wrote  Making Your Mind Up and The Land Of Make Believe for Bucks Fizz.
    Andy Hill first sung the song as lead vocalist in 1981 with his group Gem for the Song for Europe Contest that year and then later re -recordeded it when he was in the group Paris. Leo Sayer then covered it.

    m.... ....

    mickfizz1 convoluted order has become any chemical reaction from past and present service; Palpatous and wanting, I am familiar.

  63. T.... ....

    Yes. Yes. Yes. That's just how it is the love thing. Never want to go back there. My 2nd marriage saved my life. Lol... Fuck going back there man...

    T.... ....

    @TCB1965 stop drinking that helps

  64. G.... W....

    I was 15 when this song came out.  I was really into this girl called Sheila.  We dated a couple of times, but it didn't work out.  It was the first time I had felt heartache.  It was devastating.  It makes me laugh now but at the time this song had me in tears :-) Teen-hood hormones. :-)

    G.... W....

    Ga Wa God bless

    G.... W....

    I hear ya....such powerful emotions music provokes...quite amazing really how fragile we are x

    G.... W....

    Still feel it now x

  65. g.... ....

    so much emotion and such a great song.....timeless xxx

  66. a.... ....

    Best love song ever

  67. s.... h....

    very classic.. this is the best version! reminds me of someone who made me feel inlove!

    s.... h....

    In the end Love dies..through physical decline...but not Spiritual.

  68. a.... ....

    Yes, this is how it's like to be in real love and it hurts even when it fails - it was worth it.

  69. C.... F....

    Love this song

  70. p.... ....

    THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL reaching every single cell of my body.
    Leo Sayer sang with so much depth,about true and delicate feelings.
    No doubt this is an evergreen


  71. R.... B....

    This is the only version I've heard- must get of hold Peter Cetera's.... Even as a 34 y/o guy, this song attracts a tear!

  72. T.... W....

    Westlife's version is really the one and only best!

  73. U.... ....

    Beautiful song.

  74. M.... A....

    Once after he played this song, our local DJ said "Well I've never bean in love, but I've avocado-ed in love." And yes, this IS lots better than Peter Cetera's version.

  75. s.... ....

    paris did the original and best imo

  76. A.... M....

    After hearing Peter Cetera sing this song, this version sounds cheesy, I don't care for Leo's voice at all.

  77. J.... F....

    YesitwasYOU.

  78. G.... F....

    I seen him in the Ulster hall Belfast back in the seventies...truly an awesome voice. this is the best version of the song, thanks for posting this you made my night.
