One Kiss From Heaven
Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only you can release me
One kiss from heaven
Only you can release me
One kiss from heaven
Only you can release me
Baby turn the lights down low
We've done enough talkin'
I just wanna hold you close
Your body's saying yes
Even if your mind don't know
So baby just relax
And let the feelings take control
The place is here
The time is right
I just wanna make you mine tonight
If you only knew how you take my breath away
One kiss from heaven
One kiss I'm melting baby
One touch I'm going crazy
You got me walking on thin ice
One kiss from heaven
Sweet love we're makin' baby
So close to breakin' baby
One kiss away from paradise
The intensity is too much me
Come lay beside me
There's no need to be afraid
Whatever's on your mind baby
I can melt away
No-one's gonna find us
Nothing's standing in our way
Just you and me
Is all we need
Show me a little faith
Time is on our side
Baby can't you see the signs
If we don't take this chance
It may never come again
One kiss from heaven
One kiss I'm melting baby
One touch I'm going crazy
You got me walking on thin ice
One kiss from heaven
Sweet love we're makin' baby
So close to breakin' baby
One kiss away from paradise
Only you can release me
Only you can set me free
Only you can release me
Come on, make my dream reality
One kiss from heaven
One kiss I'm melting baby
One touch I'm going crazy
You got me walking on thin ice
One kiss from heaven
Sweet love we're makin' baby
So close to breakin' baby
One kiss away from paradise

0:02 This song is pure magic from when that bass starts up!!!! I even got mild goosebumps from it!!!!! I loved how you'd smile Louise during the chorus, like maybe you were being swept up in euphoria from that sweet harmonic beat. ;*P I love the chorus and the low key, seated dance routine, too. Who said seated dancing was uncool???? This video always makes me think of late 1996 when I'd be recording music videos from off the old Box music video channel, and how sometimes I'd see this song's video before high school in the mornings. They were the days, eh???? Even though I was mostly a laughing stock at high school, I was still optimistic that maybe I could somehow make an impression on one of the older girls I fancied, and then life would be bliss. 0:52 That woman with the frizzy hair used to kinda remind me of one of them. In 2009 when my OCD started getting really bad, I'd sometimes cry remembering back to those times, and how they never panned out how I would've liked. Still, the grass is never really greener on the other side, is it????
Personally, I think you should be more grateful that you've always been so beautiful. Lately, I've been reading things about how you were clinging onto that Daisy Lowe character after she helped to convince you that you were still sexy, like you'd been having serious doubts or something. Even though you are still attractive, I feel that you should be grateful that you were angelically beautiful when it counted, when you were young!!!!!! I mean, look at me. I've never known what it feels like to be attractive to the opposite sex, nor what it feels like to be comfortable in my own skin, and yet if I can be happy and optimistic SOMETIMES, then I feel like you could learn from me, in that regard. Although I admit that I take 150MG of Sertraline anti-depressants every day, and still often feel worried and miserable.
I can understand how maybe you feel a bit disheartened at the lack of views and comments your videos get, compared to some other, less talented, less deserving artists. Personally I was shocked to see your old videos didn't have MILLIONS of views!!!! I mean, back in the mid nineties, I always saw you as a major star, near enough on par with the Spice Girls!!!!! So I was floored lately when I discovered you'd never had a number 1 hit single!!!!! I would've thought naked would've been a number 1 at least, since it was always such a famous song, even if it wasn't my favourite of yours!!!!
What I find equally appalling is that there's some people here, in the comments criticising you. That can't feel good for you, with how you come across as a sensitive type, too. So, with me being an internet badass, all you have to do is give me the word, and I'll own them for you. ;*P You could say I'm just a phone call away.
Seeing that you upload your videos makes me wonder if you own the rights to them???? If so, then I applaud you. It always annoys me when big businesses seem to reap most of the rewards earned by talented musicians.
@Beckhamsboi
This is the song that made me discover Louise back in 1997. It was on a cassette that came free with Top Of The Pops magazine. Louise really had some brilliant songs in her solo career.
@sarahkiki9957
😂😂 that’s exactly where I heard this song and fell in love with it 😂😂
@Musicblue22
Oh snap they done gave this a HD remaster. I love it. One of my favorites from Louise. It's such a nice r&b groove that's perfect late summer/early fall mood
@dirrty06
One of my favourites from her! Such a talented woman and very underrated - such great 90’s vibes ❤️
@dreamyblue44
perfect song to relax to at the end of the day, loved this one for years! :)
@nickpearson871
finally louise is officially releasing her fantastic range of music videos!! have been waiting for this for a long time now!! such a beautiful voice and personality :)
@nimit2535
This song just popped up in my head and i had to come and listen to this. It's always strange when a memory of a song can lay dormant for all these years and then all of a sudden you just have an urge to listen to the song to feel it! I like that about Louise's earlier songs they're very uplifting and nostalgic. Btw who's the guy at 3:10 seconds?! I can't think of where I've seen him before! These kind of videos are fun when they include other artists, the only other one I can think of is Michael Jackson's Liiberian Girl.
@NubianPrince85
Still sounds timeless
@dariusmatthews6441
She is an amazing musical Artist !!! I enjoy her music
@Musicblue22
I feel like this song was originally gonna be an Eternal song, the r&b groove on this joint is so strong
