Heaven Stood Still
Deville Willy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the dawn drives a lovers eyes
No more tears, they're all gone
Just believe this will always be
My heart in your hand
Knows that all this belongs to me
And like a child there I stand
One dream of my life
One night in eternity
The wind whispers soft to me
And heaven stood still
One Side of the dawn
Knows that all this belongs to me
One celestial rhapsody
And heaven stood still
The song "Heaven Stood Still" by Deville Willy is a touching ballad that describes the power of true love. The lyrics invite the listener to witness a moment of pure happiness between two lovers who have overcome all the hurdles that they have faced in their relationship. The first verse describes a scene where the sun is rising and a lover's tears have been wiped away. There is a sense of relief and joy in the air, and the singer reminds the listener that this moment is everlasting. He believes that this love is not fleeting and can stand the test of time.
The second verse talks about the vulnerability of the singer's heart. He knows that his heart is in the hands of the one he loves and trusts that they will care for it. He makes a reference to being like a child, which perhaps indicates that he is completely surrendering himself to the other person, showing the ultimate level of trust. The imagery of the heart singing inside of him is a beautiful way to describe how his love for the other person has become a part of him.
The chorus talks about how all the dreams of the singer's life have culminated in this one moment of bliss. He believes that this is what eternity feels like and that even nature is aware of the magic happening between the two lovers. The use of "one celestial rhapsody" is a nod to the divine and perhaps suggests that this love is something that transcends the earthly realm and is divine in nature.

Willy DeVille is America's loss even if America doesnt know it yet. The reason is simple: Like the very best rock and roll writers and performers in our history, hes one of the very few who got it right; he understood what made a three-minute song great, and why it mattered—because it mattered to him. He lived and died with the audience in his shows, and he gave them something to remember when they left the theater, because he meant every single word of every song as he performed it.
