Career
The early years
Andrea Jürgens is the daughter of Heinz and Margret Jürgens. She performed her debut hit "Und dabei liebe ich euch beide" in her very first television appearance which took place in the ARD Silvestergala in the New Year's Eve of 1977/1978. The song was written by Jack White_(producer) and Jon Athan. Its lyrics handle the post-divorce situation from a child's perspective. Further appearances on various television and radio shows followed. In the March of 1978 Andrea Jürgens was the viewers' choice winner on ZDF -Hitparade, a television show conducted by Dieter-Thomas Heck .
In the fall of 1978 the follow-ups to the debut hit were released. "Ich zeige Dir mein Paradies" (I'll show you my paradise) and "Tina ist weg" (Tina has run away) together with her success in the so called hit parades concluded Andrea Jürgens' position as the first big child star in Germany since Heintje . In 1979 /1979 she gained further success with "Ein Herz für Kinder" (A heart for children) and "Eine Rose für dich" (A rose for you).
In October 1979 the Christmas album Weihnachten mit Andrea Jürgens was published. Its sales exceeded 1,5 million copies in just three months. Consequently the album achieved multiple gold records and double platinum. The album included the single "Aba Heidschi Bumbeidschi".
1980s
Andrea Jürgens' commercial success continued in a smaller scale in the early 1980s. The folk music album Andrea Jürgens singt die schönsten deutschen Volkslieder was released in 1981 . Her next single hits were "Mama Lorraine" (1981), "Japanese Boy" (1981) and "Playa Blanca" (1984). Like "Manuel Goodbye" (1983), "Playa Blanca" was originally sung in English by Audrey Landers . Jack White produced the German versions for Andrea Jürgens.
The albums Solang’ ein Mädchen träumen kann (1982) and Weil wir uns lieben (1984) were not such chart busters as their predecessors. In the latter half of the decade no new studio albums were released. She had though some single releases (e.g. "Ciao ciao amore") and a "Best Of" compilation which was published in 1987 .
1990s and afterwards
Next studio albums by Andrea Jürgens were released in the early 1990s (Küsse der Nacht, Liebe). The album Ich krieg' nie genug von dir was released in 1993 . It included once again a song originally interpreted by Audrey Landers, namely "Guten Morgen Sonnenschein" ("Honeymoon in Trinidad"). In 1996 Jürgens recorded the single "Wir greifen nach den Sternen" together with the Nockalm Quintett . The song was included in the album Wenn ich glücklich bin (1996), the opening track of which is the German cover version of Madonna >'s hit "You'll See ", "Du wirst sehen".
In 2002 Andrea Jürgens celebrated her 25-year singing career. The anniversary was celebrated by publishing the jubilee album Dankeschön zum 25jährigen Bühnenjubiläum. In the new century she changed her record company from BMG /Bertelsmann_Music_Group to KOCH. Lust aufs Leben (2005) was her first studio album under the new label. Jack White and Peter Wagner had been the producers of Jürgens' albums during her BMG-years, Mr White often mentioned as the executive producer on the album cover.

Lyrics
The lyrics of Andrea Jürgens' songs are mainly about typical schlager themes, like friendship and love. The divorce theme in her very first hit "Und dabei liebe ich euch beide" (1977) was a major exception. In the German schlager scene divorce was a taboo subject until 1970s; the lyrics were mainly about harmonious relationships. During the decade, the reforms and discussion about the reasons and consequencies of divorce changed all this.
Awards
Andrea Jürgens has been awarded with various national music prizes. She has achieved many silver, gold and platinum records for her singles and albums. The album Weihnachten mit Andrea Jürgens has been especially successful having achieved multiple gold and platinum. It has been commercially available throughout the year since its first publication. In 1982 and 1983 Jürgens was granted the Goldene Stimmgabel .

Ich hab'dir nie den Himmel versprochen
Andrea Jürgens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In der welt die meine welt war warst auf einmal du
Wie ein wildes feuer so begann mit einem schlag ein neuer tag
Was man voneinander wusste war nicht viel bis heut
Und dann kam was kommen musste unser erster streit
StÜrzt damit ein kartenhaus nun unvermutet ein
Wie kann das sein
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
Weil es den auf erden nirgens gibt
TrÄnen mÜssen sein wenn man sich auch noch so liebt
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
Nur mein ganzes herz fÜr alle zeit
Ich halt mein wort ich geh' nie von dir fort
Denn fÜr mich gibt's nur dich
Ich will immer bei dir bleiben was auch kommen mag
Doch ich kann auch nicht verschweigen dass ich fehler hab'
Und ich denk' in manchen dingen gar nicht so wie du
Das kommt dazu
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
Weil es den auf erden nirgens gibt
TrÄnen mÜssen sein wenn man sich auch noch so liebt
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
Nur mein ganzes herz fÜr alle zeit
Ich halt mein wort ich geh' nie von dir fort
Denn fÜr mich gibt's nur dich
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
Weil es den auf erden nirgens gibt
TrÄnen mÜssen sein wenn man sich auch noch so liebt
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
Nur mein ganzes herz fÜr alle zeit
Ich halt mein wort ich geh' nie von dir fort
Denn fÜr mich gibt's nur dich
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
Weil es den auf erden nirgens gibt
TrÄnen mÜssen sein wenn man sich auch noch so liebt
Ich hab' dir nie denn himmel versprochen
The song "Ich hab'dir nie den Himmel versprochen" by Andrea Jürgens is about the ups and downs of a relationship between two people. The first verse describes how the two people were from different worlds, but they came together and started a new day that was like a wild fire. However, as the relationship progresses, they face their first fight, and their relationship crumbles like a house of cards. The chorus repeats the phrase "I never promised you heaven" several times, emphasizing that while they love each other, their love is not perfect.
The second verse describes how the two people are committed to each other, but they still have differences in how they see things. The singer implies that it's okay to have disagreements, but they shouldn't define the relationship. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea that love isn't perfect. The song ends with the repetition of "I never promised you heaven," making it clear that the singer is committed to the relationship, even if it's not perfect.
Overall, "Ich hab'dir nie den Himmel versprochen" is a love song that acknowledges that love is not always easy. The lyrics emphasize that while two people can love each other deeply, they will still have disagreements and moments of hardship. It's a realistic portrayal of a relationship that acknowledges that love is a journey, not a destination.
