"Heaven Must Have Sent You" is a song written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Eddie Holland when at Motown, and first recorded by The Elgins in 1966. It was also a 1979 disco hit single by Bonnie Pointer.
The version by the Elgins, released on the Motown subsidiary V.I.P. Records label in 1966, reached no. 9 on the Billboard R&B chart and no. 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was reissued in the UK in 1971, and reached no. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The Elgins' backing vocals were augmented by The Andantes.
Bonnie Pointer's version reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1979.[4] A 12/8 shuffle, it begins with rhythmic tubular bells ringing. Violins supply the background for the entire song. After the bells, a funky bass guitar is played, as a refrain throughout the song. This can be heard three times between the verses. In the middle of the song, an instrumental interlude is played, with the tubular bells ringing. At the end of the song, Pointer sings her last lines "It's heaven, it's heaven, I'll love you more and more each day..." in a lower register, with a raspy tone, reminiscent of Al Jolson.
The special four-on-the-floor re-recorded Motown Disco 12" Single mix of "Heaven Must Have Sent You" includes a much longer instrumental interlude with extra percussion and string solos towards the middle of the song. It was Side 1, while the album version was Side 2.
Patricia Eva "Bonnie" Pointer is an American R&B and disco singer, most notable for being the next-to-youngest member of the 1970s and 1980s family music group, The Pointer Sisters. She scored several moderate solo hits after leaving the Pointers in 1977, including a disco cover of The Elgins' "Heaven Must Have Sent You" which became a U.S. top 20 pop hit on September 1, 1979.
I've cried through many endless nights
Just holding my pillow tight
Then you came into my lonely days
With your tender love and sweet ways
Now I don't know where you come from, baby
Don't know where you been now, baby
Heaven must have sent you into my arms
Now in the morning when I awake
There's a smile upon my face
You touch my heart with gladness
Wiped away all of my sadness
Oh, so long I've needed love right near me
A soft voice to cheer me
Heaven must have sent you, baby, into my life
Ooh, it's heaven in your arms
It's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms I wanna stay
Wanna thank you for the joy you've brought me
Thank you for the things you taught me
Thank you for holding me close
When I needed you the most
Now I don't know much about you, baby
But I know I can't live without you
Heaven must have sent you, honey
To love only me
It's heaven in your arms
It's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms I wanna stay
