Heaven Knows
Rick Price Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

And though she's so far away
It just keeps gettin' stronger, every day
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't want to let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
But tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't want to let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Line by Line Meaning

She's always on my mind
I can't stop thinking about her


From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
My thoughts of her consume me throughout the day and even my dreams at night


She's everywhere I go
I can't escape thoughts of her, no matter where I am or what I'm doing


She's all I know
My life revolves around her


And though she's so far away
She's physically distant from me


It just keeps gettin' stronger, every day
My love for her only grows with time


And even now she's gone
She's no longer with me


I'm still holding on
I can't let go of my feelings for her


So tell me where do I start
I'm lost and don't know what to do


'Cause it's breakin' my heart
My emotional pain is overwhelming


Don't want to let her go
I don't want to lose her


Maybe my love will come back some day
I hope that one day she'll return to me


Only heaven knows
I have no control over our future


And maybe our hearts will find a way
Perhaps fate will bring us back together


And all I can do is hope and pray
All I can do is trust in a higher power and wish for a positive outcome


My friends keep tellin' me
People close to me suggest what they think is best


That if you really love her
True love means letting go if it's what's right for her


You've gotta set her free
I have to give her the freedom to make her own choices


And if she returns in kind
If she reciprocates my feelings


I'll know she's mine
Then she's truly meant to be with me


Why I live in despair
I can't shake this overwhelming sadness and desperation


'Cause wide awake or dreaming
My thoughts are consumed by her, whether I'm awake or asleep


I know she's never there
She's not physically present in my life


And all the time I act so brave
I pretend to be strong even when I'm not


I'm shaking inside
My fear and anxiety is eating away at me


Why does it hurt me so
The pain of being without her is unbearable


Heaven knows
Ultimately, the outcome of our love story is out of our hands and in the hands of fate

Can You read my true tragic love story? pls. 😊


I started listening to this again and again, now. My boyfriend is now in Jail. We are long distance relationship, I want to help him but He said he need half a million pesos but i dont have that much money. And now, Im still holding, Hoping i can see him and talk to him again but it takes a month before i see him again. I dont want to set him free. This is a perfect song for me/ For US. The part " Maybe my love will come back someday, Only heaven knows." Its so hard for me that I cant see him for a while. "Even now he's gone, Im still holding on" Yes, I will hold on. I will wait him. Because I LOVE him. And now " All I can do is HOPE and PRAY, Cause heaven knows" Thats the thing all I can do for now. Im finding a way so I can Help him.

He's my 1 year boyfriend and I promised to him that I help him. I have a lot of story to tell but im so emotional now, Writing and sharing this message to everyone.


Only Heaven Knows before we see each other again.


Thank you so much for reading my TRUE love story. I appreciate your effort reading this. ❤
