Heaven Stood Still
The Willy Deville Acoustic Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the dawn it drives a lover's 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 here I stand
One dream of my life
One night in eternity
The wind whispered 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
Just believe this will always be
One dream of my life
One night in eternity
The wind whispered soft to me
And Heaven stood still
One side of the dawn
Sweet instant of memory
One celestial rhapsody
And Heaven stood still
"Heaven Stood Still" by The Willy Deville Acoustic Trio is a love song that seems to be about a moment of complete happiness that the singer experiences with their lover. The song opens with the singer saying that a tear has faded away and a new day, driven by the sunrise that they see in their lover's eyes is here. The singer tells their lover that all of their tears have gone and that they must believe that the moment they are sharing will always be. The singer refers to their heart being in their lover's hand and that they know that everything they are experiencing is tied to that feeling. The singer feels like a child before their lover and that their heart is singing inside of them.
The singer then talks about a dream of their life that became a reality one night in eternity (most likely referring to the night they met their lover). The wind whispered softly to them and Heaven stood still, which could imply that the moment they are experiencing is almost miraculous, as if the universe itself has stopped to appreciate it. The song's chorus repeats the lyrics of the second verse, ending with a line about the singer's memory being sweet and that Heaven had stood still.
The lyrics of "Heaven Stood Still" paint a picture of complete love and happiness, a moment when everything seems to stop and the world revolves around the singer and their lover. The song is an ode to the beauty of true love and the awe-inspiring nature of a moment spent with a person who is the entire universe to us.

As a tear fades away
As a tear vanishes, indicating the end of sorrow
And the dawn it drives a lover's eyes
The morning light brings hope to a lover's eyes
No more tears, they're all gone
I have shed all my tears and am ready to move on
Just believe this will always be
Have faith that this moment will last forever
My heart in your hand
I have entrusted you with my heart
Knows that all this belongs to me
I am confident that our love is real and true
And like a child here I stand
I am vulnerable and innocent in my love for you
While your heart sings inside of me
I feel the joy in my own heart as a reflection of your love
One dream of my life
This is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream
One night in eternity
This perfect moment feels like it will last forever
The wind whispered soft to me
Nature itself seems to acknowledge the beauty of this moment
And Heaven stood still
This moment is so special that even the heavens seem to have paused in awe
One side of the dawn
This moment exists in a realm outside of time and reality
Sweet instant of memory
This moment will forever be remembered with fondness and love
One celestial rhapsody
The beauty and perfection of this moment feel otherworldly
And Heaven stood still
This moment is so special that even the heavens seem to have paused in awe

So many years I hear music...For me Willy deVille touches me so much, that I cannot express it with words. I heard him once and I cannot forget his voice and the art of singing. I loved Mick Javier and Led Zeppelin and others. I mean, in the expression of feelings he is the best. And I love his style! Great!!!
