Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Ooh, every day there’s something new (oh, baby)
Honey, to keep me lovin’ you (oh, honey)
And with every passin’ minute (oh, true love)
Oh baby, so much joy wrapped up in it

Oh, heaven must have sent you from above
Oh, heaven must have sent your precious love (oh)

And I, I’ve got a song to sing (oh, darling)
Tellin’ the world about the joy you bring (oh, sweet heart)
And you gave me a reason for livin’ (oh, honey)
And ooh, you taught me, you taught me the meaning of givin’

Oh, heaven must have sent you from above
Oh, heaven must have sent your precious love (oh)
