In the mid 1990s, when Bryan was only in his early twenties, he quickly became one of country music's hottest young stars earning number one singles on the Billboard country chart with his songs "Someone Else's Star" and "Rebecca Lynn" from his debut album. "I'm Not Supposed to Love You Anymore" reached fourth, and then he had numbers with "So Much For Pretending" and "Sittin' On Go" from his second album. Although one critic labelled Bryan's first two albums as "surprisingly mature", it was mainly teen fans which helped launch his success. The first issue of Teen Country magazine was devoted solely to him.

Heaven Sent
Bryan White Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One lonely night
I sent a prayer
Send me someone
Someone to care
Out of the blue
Suddenly you
Heaven sent

One magic touch
One stolen kiss
My only dream
My every wish
That's when I knew
That it was truly
Heaven sent

And every star in the sky
They knew that I
Had waited my whole life through
And as I held you tight
They shined even brighter
So glad I'd finally found you
And through the years
Never forget
The love we'd found
The night we met
And how we knew

That it was truly
Heaven sent
