I've cried through many endless nights Just holding my pillow tight Then you came into my lonely days With your tender and your sweet ways Now I don't know where you come from, baby Don't know where you've been, my baby Heaven must have sent you Into my arms Now in the mornin' when I awake There's a smile upon my face You've touched my heart with gladness Wiped away all my sadness So long I've needed love right near me A soft voice to cheer me Heaven must have sent you, honey Into my life, ooh It's heaven in your arms Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms Makes me love you more each day In your arms I wanna stay Wanna thank you for the joy you brought me Thank you for the things you taught me Thank you for holding me close When I needed you the most Now I don't know much about you, baby But I know I can't live without you Heaven must have sent you To love only me, ooh It's heaven in your arms Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms Makes me love you more each day In your arms I wanna stay It's heaven in your arms It's the sweetness of your charms It makes me love you more each day In your arms I wanna stay It's heaven in your arms Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms Makes me love you more each day In your arms I wanna stay
