I Found Heaven
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought I found love
With somebody else's girl, yeah
Ooh
Walkin 'round feeling so broken-hearted
Lost in a different world
Bought me back to reality someday
Now I don't need a fantasy
You're the only one I need
I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
Ooh
I will never, no I'll never
I will never lose my way again
Ooh yeah
I thought you'd soon be my girl
But my imagination was running wild
Ooh
I wouldn't listen to a single soul
Deep in a sense of denial
But then you rescued me baby
Opened my eyes and made me see you babe
What real love can be
You're the angel that I need
I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
Ooh
I will never, no I'll never
I will never lose my way again
Oh sweet baby
Ooh
Oh, I see heaven in your eyes with me
Yeah, yeah
Oh baby
Now I will give my lovin' faithfully
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, yeah sweet baby
Be my angel
Heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
Sweet sweet baby
I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
Heaven sweet sweet baby
On the wings of love
You gave me heaven
Sweet heaven baby, sweet baby
The lyrics to Take That's song 'I Found Heaven' tell the story of a man who previously thought he had found love with somebody else's girl, but was left feeling broken-hearted and lost in a different world. However, when a new person came into his life, they were able to bring him back to reality and show him what real love can be. The singer expresses their newfound sense of joy and fulfillment, exclaiming that they have found heaven on the wings of love. They promise to never lose their way again and promise to give their love faithfully to the person who has shown them such happiness.
The song is a classic example of a love ballad, using strong imagery and emotive language to convey the message of finding love in unexpected places. The use of the metaphor of 'heaven' emphasizes the idea that the love that the singer has found is something truly special and transformative. The progression of the lyrics, from heartbreak and denial to acceptance and joy also emphasizes the transformative power of love and the way that it can change us for the better.
Overall, 'I Found Heaven' is a powerful love song that reminds us of the transformative power of love and the way that it can bring us back to reality when we feel lost. It emphasizes the importance of being open to unexpected love and taking risks when it comes to matters of the heart.
