I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'morning for liaison' is the definition.
'amour' can be an answer for 'liaison' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'morning for' bit.

'henry leaves some time in the' is the wordplay.
'henry leaves' becomes 'amr' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'some' says to take the centre.
'time' becomes 'hour' (unit of time).
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
The centre of 'hour' is 'ou'.
'amr' enclosing 'ou' is 'AMOUR'.
