The Elgins Motown Anthology Lyrics
1.Heaven Must Have Sent You

Lyricist:Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland

I've cried through many endless nights
While holding my pillow tight
Then you came into my lonely days
With your tender and your sweet ways

Now I don't know where you come from, baby
Don't know where you've been, my baby
Heaven must have sent you, honey into my arms

Now in the mornin' when I awake
There's a smile on my face
You've touched my heart with gladness
Wiped away all my sadness

So long I've needed love right near me
A soft voice to cheer me
Heaven must have sent you, baby into my life

It's heaven in your arms
Boy, 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 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 can't live without you, baby
Heaven must have sent you, baby to love only me

It's heaven in your arms
Boy, 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 brought me
Thank you for the things you taught me
Thank you for holding me close
When I needed you the most

It's heaven in your arms
Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms I wanna stay


2.Darling Baby

Lyricist:Lamont Herbert Dozier, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland

Darling, baby
Life is so lonely without you
Life is so lonely without you
Since you left these arms of mine

I've been alone, trying
Wondering why you left me behind

Darling, baby
Can't carry on since you've been gone
Why don't you please
Please, come on home?

Let's talk it over
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Let's talk it over one more time

Oh, so many nights
I wondered whose holding you tight
Can't help but feel it should be me
Oh, it should be me
'Cause I'm forever losing sleep at night

Darling, baby
I've been loving you so long
Tell me what did I do wrong

Come back to these arms of mine

Let's talk it over
Let's talk it over one more time

Darling, baby
This world is empty without you
Keeps me crying with nothing to do
Since you've left these arms of mine

Let's talk it over, baby, baby
One more time

Mmm, darling, baby
