Carey, Mariah - Sent From Up Above Lyrics






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

[Chorus:]
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 demise

He made it happen
Placed so much joy into our hands
What we dreamed
We finally captured
Heaven took command

[Chorus]

  3. D.... K....

    L❤ve Y💜u ❤Mariah Carey❤

  4. K.... E....

    Without a doubt, this will ALWAYS be my favorite song by Mariah. More than anything, I was just in awe of the power her voice had on this song without the whistle register. Even though I enjoy those too, this one has a Special place. Call me sentimental . It was from her debut album.

  5. s.... ....

    not the original

  6. Q.... V....

    Heard this song first back in late 90's and the early 2000's. Love this song🎶💕💕

  7. M.... ....

    Easily could've been HER FIFTH #1! simply Classic Mariah ....

  8. R.... B....

    Love ♥️

  9. T.... P....

    2019 version brought me here

  10. G.... W....

    Who came here after her random impromptu singing with Trey in a restaurant? 😁

  11. M.... C....

    2019 version snatched my wig!!!

  12. M.... F....

    I came here because I saw a current video of her singing this song with Trey Lorenz in a restaurant

  13. S.... T....

    I’m here cuz M just singing this on Twitter 2019 is a blessing year start from Endless Love, Slipping Away, Music Box, HIGHER, JESUS (Fly Like A Bird) and then SENT FROM UP ABOVE .. I’m just completely dead 💀😭😭😭😭🤯💙🦋

  14. N.... I....

    still blasting in 2019

  15. I.... R....

    Sería hermoso vivir en los 90 con mariah 😭 Transmite mucha energía sus canciones antiguas , ella debería darse cuenta que es una Leyenda viva , el día que muera donde sea me iré a verla y llorare por siempre .

  16. E.... ....

    IN MY OPINION THIS IS WHEN SHE WAS REALLY GOOD (A SUPER*STARR*) I DON'T THINK SHE DID AS WELL THE ROAD SHE WENT DOWN SHE STOOD ON HER OWN IN THE SPOTLIGHT WITH THIS MUSIC AND INSTEAD OF KEEPING THAT POWERFUL STYLE SHE GOT WITH BLACK ARTISTS WHO ALL SOUND THE SAME SAME STYLE SAME LOOK SAME ACT SAME CRAP AND SOLD OUT THEY USED HER INFLUENCED HER AND NO MORE INTEGRITY IT WAS ALL GONE!! SHE DID NOT HAVE TO SHE WAS IN A CLASS OF HER OWN I MISS THAT SOUND. ! SHE SHOULD HAVE ROAD THAT TRAIN FOR AS LONG AS IT HAD STEAM ,THEN MAKE HER OWN ADAPTIVE STYLE ON HER OWN ! 😉

  17. Q.... S....

    This song should have been released as a single. So many great songs on this album. One of the greatest albums ever produced.

  18. m.... m....

    big tune

  19. S.... L....

    “Heaven had a plan..”One of my all time favorites ❤️ 2019

  20. k.... ....

    Still listening in 2018😍

    Growing up in a small MN town, sometimes we were behind in times, like MTV......The first time I ever saw Mariah Carey ..I was 13 it was summer of 91 My family was on vacation to Montana we stopped in Bismark ND at a Motel for the night.....My dad turned on tjhe motel TV and MTV was on .....Ill never forget it.....There was this Beautiful girl sitting on the floor singing I dont wanna cry......I FELL in love!!

    "Sent From Up Above"

    I can't imagine
    Looking in someone else's eyes

    We finally captured
    Heaven took command

    [Chorus]

  25. P.... F....

    This in my opinion is better than some of the singles chosen from this album! There's just something nostalgic about that ethereal sitar and the particular electronica sound seems to have been borrowed somewhat by Seal's groundbreaking single "Crazy" which came out 5 months afterward. This is easily one of my favorite Mariah songs and it has aged well over the decades!!! CLASSIC

    P.... F....

    It really crescendos at the end.The vocal layerings. Mariahs 'OOH!'s, the sitar, the subtle trancy electronics, the ad libs. Love this track, really underrated

  26. C.... g....

    100 percent full elements On

  27. C.... I....

    Mariah... Legend

  28. S.... ....

    2:52 That E5!!

  29. S.... Y....

    Szeretem ezt a dalt és az egész debütáló albumot! Itt még fantasztikusan énekelt ,a későbbiekben már nem ,sajnos...!

  30. S.... T....

    This song would be a hit today and it's 2018

    S.... T....

    Hi Mariah Carey

  33. W.... F....

    this was back when her music was real and not pop trash

  34. J.... T....

    Why this wasn't a single even at R&B radio is beyond me.

  35. k.... ....

    THESE are lyrics.

  36. D.... C....

    These G5's are so resonant, like wow

  37. w.... ....

    Remembering when I was in love with Mariah Carey...(past tense).

  38. D.... N....

    SICK !!

    SHE DEFINITELY CAME OUT WIT BANGAS ON THIS ALBUM.

    THE VOCALS ON HERE IS SICK !

    R.... ....

    CIA for resting infltration guanamantion BAY Henricus 12-5-67 N.A.P.

  44. b.... ....

    Seems like she has touched people in different generations. Me. This first album. But I can understand the case made for Music Box and Daydream

  45. P.... B....

    Mariah carries how i cant stand you hate myself for the love we share the life we dreamed preyed prostituted for all of earth all of this world africa overseas under the skies and into the planets baby boy you are amazing more than i never knew what took us so long Mariah All that we need is to be thankful amen girl sexy beautiful always in your voice yes no doubt that power good good is delicious your a addict for me not because just for real i am addicted to trust in your shape face hips twist to control i thought fishing was exciting i am. thirty six that first that only into light always and greedy but with craving and time as good if not already perfect nothin tender nothing but me loving you diamonds n chocolate faith we begin to shine your skin to mine eyes cant be seen back n bubble baths secrets and wanting more santa milk n cookies guess what never gets second only one night a year

  46. M.... C....

    Just in love with this song!!! Honestly a favourite! I remember when she came to Australia in 2014, she actually sung a snippet of 'Sent From Up Above' and I literally died!! Omg xxx

    M.... C....

    I'm jealous! Lol.

    M.... C....

    I bet lol...u r beautiful

  47. V.... M....

    hello digna

  48. J.... H....

    hard to believe she was only 17 in 1990

    J.... H....

    Jerome Holloman she was 20. Her birthday is in march and she was born in 1970

    J.... H....

    +DM M oh ok

    J.... H....

    Jerome Holloman she was 20

    J.... H....

    She wrote the majority of her fist album songs, including Vision of Love, as a 16-17-18 YO.

  49. V.... M....

    I was working for optill thanks mom

  50. S.... T....

    A true powerhouse vocally! Love MC!

  51. D.... C....

    So in love with this beautiful woman's music, personality, charisma, intelligence & utter stage presence.... #ForevaMariahCarey..

  52. A.... L....

    The melody is like can't let go

    A.... L....

    Yeah the vibe is kinda like "can't let go"

    A.... L....

    Cooper sent from up aboove(ascending melody)
    Even though I try(same progression)

    A.... L....

    Definitely

    A.... L....

    And Thank God I Found You (Make It Last). You can tell that cord in the beginning is very Mariah when she produces

    A.... L....

    That’s interesting you say that, I don’t hear the similarity, however this song and can’t let go are my two favorite MC songs, so maybe there’s something to that!

  53. J.... ....

    I'm sorry yall but Daydream and Her debut are her best albums to me. I know the lambs are obsessed with Emancipation and Butterfly but they are number 3 and 4 to me.

    J.... ....

    I like this cd first then emotions, music box , daydream , butterfly eom, moipa, me I am mariah E=mc2,.

    J.... ....

    Jmac4202 don't be sorry, b proud to say whats true to you. Theres many No1s of hers that don't come close to my personal faves .

    J.... ....

    I would say her debut, Music Box and Daydream.

    J.... ....

    @Iris E This

    J.... ....

    @fireguy615 ok.

  54. R.... ....

    I wish she toured for the debut album and emotions. So many songs from these two albums were never performed live.

    R.... ....

    I love "So cold" of the album Emotions with an amazing intro!

  55. R.... C....

    Love the hits but the label should've released this as a single along with Prisoner

  56. N.... F....

    The 20 people who disliked this song smoke crack...

    N.... F....

    And I made the 21st “like” under ur comment so more ppl now agree that they smoke crack more than those that don’t like this song.😂😂😂

    N.... F....

    Wa ha ha..i agreed 😂😂😂😂😂

    N.... F....

    They young..

  57. J.... V....

    It's songs like these that remind me why I've bought this album 3 times . First , I got the cassette , then the CD was borrowed and never returned (can't blame the person), so I bought it again . The magic of Mariah Carey .

    J.... V....

    gimme one of these 3 ♡

  58. b.... ....

    Mariah's debut album is such nostalgia. I love it so much.

  59. a.... k....

    😘😘😘😘😘

  60. E.... T....

    I listened to this underrated gem yersterday, for the first time. What a nice song! Thank you Spotify. Mariah Carey is popular here in Chile, though only her mainstream songs are played on the radio, TV...

  61. k.... ....

    The lyrics to this song gives me the chills, absolutely incredible writing!

    k.... ....

    That's teenage Mariah's writing!

  62. C.... ....

    This song is so magical........I don't know lol I love it and she SANG the house DOWN on this track.

  63. S.... a....

    LOVE this song...I was 4 when this came out, don't judge why I was feelin it so much :-D

  64. J.... D....

    Perfection at any stage and range !! $$$ :) :) :) It's make me feel good, really !! This song save me from a lot of suffering.. xoxo

  65. J.... R....

    Love the he'll out of this song.

  66. y.... ....

    Mariah Carey had the best years in the 90's no one can come near her in that decade

    y.... ....

    yoitscris well, Christina Aguilera did since 1996

    y.... ....

    Vanessa Porter
    i don't really about her clothing choices.
    She's a 48 yesr old
    she can wear whatever she wants to wear.
    And A hoe??
    What the........
    You know she doesn't want wear those things she wore in 1990 - 1996.
    She was forced to wear those things.

    y.... ....

    Vanessa Porter
    please don't compare her with trash singers today she's more than that.

    y.... ....

    No one can come near her period. She was greatest of all time imo

    y.... ....

    OR THIS DECADE

  67. B.... f....

    I had this cassette and when my little brother destroyed it I got the cd.

    B.... f....

    Lol that was me! I heard my sister playing it and borrowed it and never gave it back.

  68. P.... R....

    When i drive GTA it is my favorite song :)

    P.... R....

    @Serafini Gaunt
    It was in one of the Grand Theft Auto games. I think it was GTA 5

    P.... R....

    @Steve Lee Oh I would've definitely noticed if Mimi was on GTA 5

    P.... R....

    @Steve Lee Do you remember what station?

    P.... R....

    @Steve Lee Well if you find out lemme know so I can buy the game just for Mariah lol

    P.... R....

    @Serafini Gaunt
    I tried to find out on Wiki but couldn't find it.

  69. N.... N....

    This is the Mariah I fell in love with. She sounded amazing, wrote songs with substance, had class and natural beauty. After Butterfly, things went downhill rapidly but she still was capable of moments of greatness (Subtle Invitation, Lead The Way, Bliss, After Tonight, We Belong Together, etc).

    N.... N....

    Downhill? She finally found her sound and her true personality. Post 90's have been a happy time for her.

  70. M.... D....

    If I had the choice of owning only one CD, Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love" would be it.
    I could play this for a hundred years, and it would still sound sooooo good! 
    This is absolutely the most epic album ever produced.
     Thank You Mariah.

    M.... D....

    @Rasyid Azmi really? never noticed

    M.... D....

    @Michael DeSantis that is why there is only stated mariah carey on the album cover cause that is the name of the album.... It's okay though... Imma BIG fan of her. I dont listen to any singer except her and few 90's singer !!

    M.... D....

    +Rasyid Azmi At the time Vision of Love single came out, I worked with a girl named Marah Gary. Everyone thought it wasn't her real name....but it was. So close, she used to get kidded about her name ever since Mariah Carey became famous. She happened to turn me on to the CD. She said, buy it, you won't regret it. Boy, was she ever so right!

    M.... D....

    +Michael DeSantis I want this CD so much! pure music ! i was born in 01' and it REALLY HARRRRD for me to find this album in my country... so heartbreaking! the oldest album that I found in my area is glitter which I don't think a strong album though..
    btw, u should listen to butterfly , music box, emotions and daydream album! u will never regret!

    M.... D....

    +Rasyid Azmi Thank Goodness for YouTube. Yes, those others you mentioned were good too. BUT, for some reason, this CD made my heart feel warm, it just resonated my feelings, no matter what time of day or night. It was haunting me, and I keep playing it over in my mind. Maybe, it came out in a time that was happy for me, and I want to hold on to those thoughts. Good Luck in finding your other Mariah Carey treasures.!

  71. m.... ....

    I love this song. It's one of her most underrated songs besides When I Saw You

    m.... ....

    This is a classic

  72. c.... ....

    Sang black girl!!!

    c.... ....

    CaptianSkinder in America she's in the black category

    c.... ....

    I live in America - she's mixed-race. Her father himself was mixed and not full-black (black and native Venezuelan) and her mother is of Irish ancestry. She's not even half black but a stunning mixture.

    c.... ....

    Pete Flores no her dad had very little Venezuelan in him, his dad was a black Latino making Mariah half black racially.

    c.... ....

    Yes she is a sista

  73. L.... ....

    I love everything about this album. From start to finish, it was/is perfect. And it's still all good 20+ years later. The tone of her lower voice was so sexy. I just love the way she hit and held some of those notes. 

    L.... ....

    her husky smoky jazzy tone.

    L.... ....

    her growls were everything.

  74. M.... W....

    No one can outsing her period

    M.... W....

    Except for Origa - see my playlist dedicated to her :)

  75. E.... ....

    She is truly a gifted singer!  One of my favorite songs by Mariah.  The track was remarkably done.  Nice R&B song, especially for 1990 (when they were transitioning from the 80's era of R&B)

  76. A.... R....

    dont know y but, i would always and still do rewind from 2:08-2:14 (Feel so riiiiiiiiight hey yeah) still love it

  77. N.... S....

    this is still my jam....i wish sony would of released this as a single (sigh).................................peace

  78. R.... M....

    the VOCAL DISPLAY on this song is FUCKING TOO MUCH!!!!! no wonder there's no covers for this song DAAAAAMN!! it would be suicide trying to attempt to sing this song!!! I explode every time I try!! specially at 2:52 and then 3:03 YOUUUU MUST RRRRHAVE BRRRRREEEN SRREEEENT FRRRROOOM UP ABOOVE!! with the RRRRs being the fucking amazing growls DAMN! Im done.

    R.... M....

    @DrummingSpain yeah! tell me bout it, i like to listen to covers to see how they approach a difficult song so I can be able to sing it too, but damn I couldn't find one, no one has ever tried this treasure I guess everybody sounds ridiculous trying to sing this!!! it is untouchable.

    R.... M....

    Rigel Mc its vocal talent on another level.

    R.... M....

    Rigel Mc I

    R.... M....

    Rigel Mc me too

    R.... M....

    I thought it was just me who loved those growls I love the ending part too I love the he made it happen part too LOL.

  79. e.... ....

    정말 좋아함

  80. H.... A....

  81. j.... ....

    Favorite track off debut album..

    j.... ....

    same tbh. it's the closest to her current sound out of all the songs off the debut album

    j.... ....

    Mine too !

    j.... ....

    +jstory71 One of my favs too tbh

    j.... ....

    My absolute favorite on the first album! Prisoner is great too.

  82. D.... ....

    this song is awesome XD love 90s mariah! i gotta get more hip to this stuff XD only recently discovered this, yup its been here since 1990 but its news to me :) born in 95

  83. F.... S....

    #classic #vintage 90's Mariah Carey ♥

  84. b.... ....

    Tommy Mattola made her do this music she did not want to do so much of it , but yes it's a really good song.

    b.... ....

    Um no. This is obviously R&B/Urban and Mariah has referenced this track as one she regrets not being released because she loved the urban sound.

    b.... ....

    Wtf u talkin bout? Mottola WANTED her to be the soulful singer she is! He knew she had a similar voice to Whitney, and the the tides were turning to more r n b, more so than whitney and he encouraged it.

  85. D.... L....

    You can't expect her to not change after 23 years in the industry. It's because she sang like this so much in the 'old era' that her voice isn't as strong, but it's still good.

  86. S.... H....

    yeah the youth of today had epic fail parents that neglect their children because of god knows what reason. Now this generation of youth is the future lets just hope the failing of the parents didn't screw the whole worlds future.....I hope you weren't one of those "epic fail parents".

  87. c.... ....

    I freaking LOVE this song! I wish she still made this kind of music but I know the youth of today would never buy it, they prefer trashy music not classy music like this.

  88. T.... F....

    Arguably Carey's most underrated pop/RnB song of her entire career. THIS is what made me fall in love with her in the very first place. I thought Ric Wake's sound paired with her vocals was THE NEW 90ies most authentic soulful RnB sound.
    ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

  89. T.... F....

    Era not area!

  90. D.... M....

    I have this album at home. It was an old one, and I had played it several times over. The lyrics were very very familiar. Those times have gone and remembering them now seems just like it was only yesterday.

  91. c.... ....

    She hated her curls growing up

  92. s.... t....

    Adorooooooooooooo!!!

  93. A.... W....

    check out my remix to mariah's 'triumphant'

  94. A.... ....

    You love the old Mariah...psh. You don't love Mariah at all. You loved her image. I love Mariah's old songs too, but I became a true fan when Butterfly dropped. That was the first album I got actually, when I was only eight.

    A.... ....

    Well said, Butterfly album brought me to join lambily bandwagon

  95. z.... ....

    those are world-wide sales, not U.S. sales. albums are certified diamond if they sell more than 10 million IN THE US. not if they sell 10 million worldwide.

    z.... ....

    zuzu2593 um no. Worldwide sales for this album were 15 Million. It sold 9 Million in the states and was certified at 9X platinum in 92. So it should be Diamond

  96. N.... N....

    Mariah, please get back to singing music like this. I love songs like Sent From Up Above, You Need Me, Can't Let Go, Vanishing, Melt Away, Underneath the Stars, Joyride, Melt Away, My All, After Tonight, If It's Over, etc. Forget about the rapper of the moment and chasing trends. You are an icon and your voice is amazing in its own right.

    N.... N....

    She'd rather flash her tits npw and sing junk.her first two albums were my favorite.real music

  97. A.... C....

    Diamond certifcated =10 million sales. Daydream sold over 25 million and MusicBox sold over 32 million.

  98. c.... ....

    One of my faves!! Classic Mariah!!
