Heaven Sent
Dina Carroll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are days I just can't face reality
And dealing with people that I just don't want to see
Gets me thinking about you and me
In my mind I dream of how I want to be
That's not the way I keep my sanity
'Cos given time I know eventually
(Your love) It's all I need from you
(Your love) It's what takes me through
(Mine) Yes, you're mine
(Mine) Well, yes, you're mine
Heaven must have sent you to me
There are days I just can't find the energy
It seems so hard to find a little harmony
You give the strength, you give it right back to me
When I need to get by
I don't have to question the things that you do
There's never a doubt in my mind about you
You're the one choice I've made in my life
I'm so satisfied, I'm so satisfied
I know I've got you and that you'll see me through
(Your love) It's all I need from you
(Your love) It's what takes me through
(Mine) Yes, you're mine
(Mine) Well, yes, you're mine
Heaven must have sent you to me
Don't think I don't know
'Cos you came along
You made me so strong
Showed me how sweet life can be
(Your love) It's all I need from you
(Your love) It's what takes me through
(Mine) Yes, you're mine
(Mine) Well, yes, you're mine
Heaven must have sent you to me

With this person in her life, she is satisfied, and nothing else matters.
Although we all have personal struggles that we must face, the artist believes that her lover is heaven-sent and that their love gives her the motivation to keep going. The artist emphasizes that her lover makes her stronger and has shown her how sweet life can be.
