Before you came along life was lonely
The real thing never came into my heart
Since you came along,I'm not lonely
I've a feelin' we'll never part
Since Heaven sent me you
I'm so happy
Do I deserve an angel from above
Guess it must be true, still I wonder
How it happened you came along my love
All that matters you are here beside me
It's good to know that you understand
It's grand to have some-one to guide me
Until this old world comes to an end
Since Heaven sent me you, I'm so happy
Do I deserve an angel from above
Guess it must be true, still I wonder
How it happened you came along my love
All that matters, You are here beside me
It's good to know that you understand
It's grand to have some-one to guide me
Until this old world comes to an end
Now you are in my heart, one and only
You've turned the life I live into a song
My heart won't let me say that I'm lonely
There's been a change since you came along

Jim Reeves sings a love song expressing gratitude for a romantic partner who ended his loneliness and brought happiness. The lyrics describe the partner as an angel sent from heaven, and the singer marvels at how this love came into his life. While the song mentions heaven and an angel, it is not a Christian worship song but a secular love song. The focus is on human love and companionship, not on God or faith.
