Mariah wrote the song “Sent From Up Above” with Rhett Lawrence and included it on her debut album, released in 1990. “‘Sent From Up Above’ was much more urban [than the other songs on the debut album], that could have been a single,” Mariah said about the song. “It probably wouldn't have done very well pop, but it would have been a decently, pretty big urban single.”
I can't imagine
Looking in someone else's eyes
What we have surpasses
Even paradise
It's hard to fathom
Reaching for someone else's hand
What we share is magic
Heaven had a plan
Sent from up above
So much love
In my life
I can't get enough
Of your touch-feels so right
Unending passion
Somehow the fire never dies
What we share
Is everlasting
Love without without demise
He made it happen
Placed so much joy into our hands
What we dreamed
We finally captured
Heaven took command
Sent from up above
So much love
In my life
I can't get enough
Of your touch-feels so right
