Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah, nothing could change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way

And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Yeah, love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, yeah

I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you, oh

And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, heaven
Whoa




You're all that I want
You're all that I need

Overall Meaning

ADAMS's song Heaven is a love ballad that speaks about finding true love and being deeply in love with someone. The singer begins by reflecting on their younger years, where it was just the two of them, young and wild and free, before finally alluding to their present situation, where nothing can take their loved one away from them. The singer acknowledges past challenges, but states that they are over now, and their love keeps them coming back for more. They find it hard to believe that they are in heaven and that love is all that they need, which they have found in their lover's heart.


The second verse further reinforces the strong bond between the singer and their lover, highlighting how their lover has turned their world around and has been a constant source of support and encouragement.

This was my wife’s favorite song. She said it was our song and it was. The night I proposed to her, at an Italian restaurant at dinner with friends. I had the manager play this for me over their audio system. In the middle of the song, the lights dimmed in the restaurant except the ones around our table. I stood up and got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes and all the patrons applauded us. We had a beautiful 16 years of love and life together. I’m so in love with her still today even. Sadly I lost her to a drunk driver accident in 2003 after 16 years of marriage. Still today when I hear this song it is a reminder of our love and the torture that she was taken from me so brutally. I love you, Paula. Now and forever.
