Adams recorded "Heaven" at The Power Station in New York City on June 6 and 7, 1983.
Adams didn't think "Heaven" was suitable for Reckless, a feeling that was echoed by producer Jimmy Iovine, who was working with Adams at the time. Iovine thought the song was too 'light' for the album and recommended that Adams not include it. At the last moment, Adams changed his mind.
Half way through the recording session drummer Mickey Curry announced that he had to leave since he committed in advance to a Hall & Oates session. Curry had warned Adams about his limited availability that day. The recording session for "Heaven" was running behind schedule and Adams called Journey drummer Steve Smith. Smith happened to be in New York at the time and he filled Curry's drumming position.
While writing "Heaven", Adams and Vallance were influenced by Journey's music and lyrical style, particular their song "Faithfully".
In 1984 "Heaven" won the Procan Award (Performing Rights Organization of Canada) for Canadian radio airplay, in 1985 it won the BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) Citation of Achievement for U.S. radio airplay and ten years later it won a Socan Classics Award for more than 100,000 Canadian radio performances.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
It 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
Now nothing can 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
And 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
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
But 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

@RealSuperRando
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 our 2 best friends, I had made an arrangement with the restaurant manager to play this for me over their audio system and told him why. When the song started playing she stopped in mid sentence and paused, then said she loved this song as she had told me before. I was sitting there while the song played waiting for the right moment. The manager dimmed the lights except the ones around our table. She looked around the restaurant as if wondering what had happened and then looked at me. I was shaking when I stood up and got down on one knee and told her she was the light of my life, I’d never love anyone as I did her and my only goal for the rest of my life was to make her happy if she’ll just make me the happiest man and marry me. I was so nervous because I knew in my heart she was the only one for me. She said yes and started to cry as I took her hand and put on the ring. She took my hand as I stood up to kiss her. All the patrons applauded us. It was magical as was my love for her. We had a beautiful 16 years of life together. She was my best friend and I’m so in love with her still today. Sadly, I lost her to a drunk driver accident in 2004. They told me she was killed instantly. My life has never been anything remotely the same. Still today, after all these years, when I hear this song, it is a reminder of our love and the torture in my heart that she was taken from me so brutally. I love you, Paula. Now and forever.
