Your eyes are like deep wells of desire Once in your arms I'm on fire You were sent girl, so perfectly true Changing my life Now I'm a survivor Heaven sent That's what I call you Heaven sent That's what I call you Late at night when the evening fire has died There's a look in your eye Seductive images fly Heaven sent That's what I call you Heaven sent That's what I call you One day you'll see What angels can see Dressed in black if she comes back I think I'll loose my mind Tuesday she works in the library uptown Some useful knowledge can always be found Don't burn the library till you've read all the books Sometimes in life you get a second look Heaven sent That's what I call you Heaven sent That's what I call you Heaven sent That's what I call you Heaven sent That's what I call you Heaven sent Heaven sent Heaven sent Heaven sent
