LYRICS

An angel whispered to me when I woke this mornin'
That I would find Heaven by my side
And there you were you angel, Heaven in the mornin'
Playing in my arms and in my life
And I reached this decision, I love you my religion
Heaven's in my soul and in my heart
No one could ever change my mind, oh, no
I got you here right by my side

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
(Won't let them take you, take you baby)

If angels whispered to you early in the mornin'
It's really something wonderful and rare
I get up in the mornin' feeling that forever
I have all your love and all your care

If someone tries to tells 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

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
(Won't let them take, take you away, baby)

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 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)

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
Oh, you are my love
