Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
They say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
When the night falls down
I′d wait for you and you come around
With the sound of kids on the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pulled me close, now we're shocked to move
And we′re spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a world of love
Ooh, baby, do you know what that′s worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
They say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
When I feel alone
I′d reach for you and you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice and it carries me
In this world, we′re just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby, I was afraid before
I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that′s worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
They say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
Heaven
Heaven
Heaven
In this world, we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby, I was afraid before
I′m not afraid anymore...
Heaven
Ooh, baby, do you know what that′s worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
They say in heaven, love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth...
