Kanye Omari West ( /ˈkɑːnjeɪ/; born June 8, 1977) is an American musician, film director and fashion designer.

An angel whispered to me when I woke this morning
That I would find heaven by my side
And there were you angel, heaven in the morning
Laying in my arms and in my life
And I reached this decision, I love you my religion
Love is in my soul and in my life
No one could ever change my mind, oh, no
'Cause I got you here right by my side
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take you away
(Won't let them take you away)
If angels whispered to you early every morning
It's really something wonderful and rare
I get up in the morning feeling that forever
I have all your love and all your care
If someone tries to tells that I do not love you
Tell them they must be out of their mind
I ain't gonna let them change my mind, oh, no
'Cause I got you here right by my side
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take you away
(Won't let them take you away)
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take you away
(Won't let them take)
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take you away
I won't let them take you
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love (You are my love)
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
