Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, every day there's something new (Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby)
Honey, to keep me loving you (Oh, oh, oh, honey)
And with every passing minute (Oh, oh)
Ah, baby, so much joy wrapped up in it (Oh, sugar)
[Chorus]
Oh, heaven must have sent you from above
Oh, heaven must have sent your precious love
[Verse 2]
Oh and I, I've got a song to sing (Oh, oh, oh)
Telling the world about the joy you bring (Honey, oh, oh, oh, sweet love)
And you gave me a reason for living (Oh, oh)
And ooh, you taught me (Oh, honey)
You taught me the meaning of giving
[Chorus]
Oh, heaven must have sent you from above
Oh, heaven must have sent your precious love
[Bridge]
Oh
[Bridge]
To find a love like ours is rare these days
'Cause you've shown me what happiness is in so many ways
I look in the mirror and I'm glad to see
Laughter in the eyes where tears used to be
[Verse 3]
What you've given me I could never return (Oh, oh, oh, baby)
'Cause there's so much, girl, I've yet to learn, Hmm (Oh, oh, oh)
And I wanna show, I wanna show my appreciation (Darling, oh, oh)
'Cause when I found you I found a new inspiration (Oh, sugar)
[Chorus]
Oh, heaven must have sent you from above
Oh, heaven must have sent your precious love
[Outro]
Oh, heaven must have sent you from above
Oh, heaven must have sent your precious love
