Lyrics
Heaven must be missing an angel
Missing one angel, child, 'cause you're here with me right now
(Your love is heavenly, baby)
(Heavenly to me, baby)
Your kiss, filled with tenderness
I want all I can get of your sexiness
Showers, your love comes in showers
And every hour on the hour
You let me feel your loving power
There's a rainbow over my shoulder (ooh, ooh)
When you came, my cup runneth over (ooh, ooh)
You gave me your heavenly love
And if one night you hear crying from above
It's 'cause heaven must be missing an angel
Missing one angel, child, 'cause you're here with me right now
(Your love is heavenly, baby)
(Heavenly to me, baby)
Ooh (heaven, heaven)
Ooh (heaven, heaven)
Ooh (heaven, heaven)
(Heaven, heaven)
Ooh, I'm captured by your spell (ooh, ooh)
You're different, girl, I can tell (ooh, ooh)
When you're laying on my pillow, baby
Above your pretty head, there's a halo, that's why I know
(Heaven) must be missing an angel
(Heaven) missing one angel, child 'cause you're here with me right now, mmm, ha
(Your love is heavenly, baby)
(Heavenly to me, baby)
Ooh, my sweet little angel
(Heaven) my pretty little angel
(Heaven) I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, baby, say right now
(Heaven)
(Heaven) ooh, heaven
(Heaven, heaven) must be missing an angel
(Heaven, heaven) missing one angel, child 'cause you're here with me right now
(Heaven, heaven) oh, my heaven
(Heaven) missing an angel
(Heaven)
(Heaven)
(Heaven)
You must have slipped away along the Milky Way
It's 'cause (your kiss) your kiss (filled with tenderness)
You came C.O.D. on a moonbeam straight to me
Just like (showers) showers (showers, showers, showers)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Your heavenly power gets stronger by the hour
(Heaven must be missing an angel)
I'm captured by your spell, oh, girl, can't you tell
(Heaven) heaven (must be missing an angel)
(Heaven, heaven) Ooh, ooh
(Heaven, heaven) Ooh, ooh
(Heaven, heaven) Ooh, ooh
(Heaven, heaven) ooh say so-so good, say so-so good, say so-so good, baby, mmm
(It's just so good, so good, so good) yeah
(It's just so good, so good, so good) I love the way you move
I love the way you groove
(It's just so good, so good, so good) ooh
(It's just so good, so good, so good) Just like heaven, oh, baby
(It's just so good, so good, so good) Heaven, yeah
(Heaven, heaven)
(Heaven, heaven) ooh, heaven
(Heaven, heaven) ooh, your love is so good
(Heaven, heaven) oh, baby, got to have your love, yeah
