Lyrics

[Verse 1]
An angel whispered to me when I woke this morning
That I would find heaven by my side
And there you were, you angel, heaven in the morning
Playing in my arms and in my life
[PreChorus]
And I reached this decision, I love you, my religion
That is in my soul and in my heart
No one could ever change my mind, oh no
'Cause I got you here, right by my side
[Chorus]
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing, "La-di-da"
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh, I won't let them take you away, baby (Won't let them take you, take you, baby)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
If angels whispered to you early in the mornin'
It's really somethin' wonderful and rare
I get up in the mornin', feelin' that forever
I have all your love and all your care
[PreChorus]
If someone tries to tell you that I do not love you
Tell them they must be out of their mind
I ain't gonna let them change my mind, oh no
'Cause I got you here, right by my side
[Chorus]
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love (You are my love)
Make me sing, "La-di-da"
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh, I won't let them take
Darling, I, oh, I won't let them take
Darling, I, oh, I won't let them take you away, hey, baby (Won't let them take you, take you, baby)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love (You are my love)
Make me sing, "La-di-da"
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh, I won't let them take you away (Won't let them take you)
[Chorus]
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love (You are my love)
Make me sing, "La-di-da"
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh, I won't let them take you away
I won't let them take you
[Chorus]
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love (You are my love)
Make me sing, "La-di-da"
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, you are my love
