After marrying and leaving Bliss in 1991, Morrison went on to have a succesful solo career which produced first two Live albums (Live at Phoenix and Rachel Morrison Live) and eventually culminated in the release of Liberty through BMG in 1998. Since that time, she has written and performed with her husband Tom E Morrison on many projects. The most notable of these was a dance/ambient group called Meeker who released various singles through Underwater Records, a label belonging to Darren Emerson (Underworld).
Rachel Morrison has recently re-formed Bliss and re-released a Best Of Bliss album and continues to write and perform.

Rachel Morrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have I told you there′s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that′s what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it′s yours and it′s mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that′s what you do
There's a love that′s divine
And it's yours and it′s mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that′s what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that′s what you do.
