Heaven Help Me
Wynonna Judd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could lose my vision
My eyes no longer see
I could lose my religion
In my struggle to believe

That would be a loss
That would be a cross
I'd somehow rise above
But Heaven help me
If I ever lose your love

I've traded my innocence
For the secrets of the night
Felt my calloused conscience
Lose its grip on wrong and right

It cut me to the bone
But somehow I've held on
'Cause I could feel your touch
But Heaven help me
If I ever lose your love

'Cause you are the one light that shines on me
Without your love God knows where I'd be

Lost without a prayer
Somewhere way out there
My soul would turn to dust
Heaven help me
If I ever lose your love

'Cause you are the one light that shines on me
Without your love God knows where I'd be

So hold me close again
Tell me it won't end
And that will be enough
Heaven help me
If I ever lose your love

Heaven help me
If I ever lose your love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wynonna Judd's song Heaven Help Me touch on the theme of vulnerability in love and the fear of losing it. The opening lines "I could lose my vision, my eyes no longer see" juxtapose physical loss with losing faith or belief in something one holds dear, such as a relationship. The next line "I could lose my religion" can be taken literally, but also metaphorically as a loss of faith in something one believed in. The following lines "in my struggle to believe, that would be a loss, that would be a cross I'd somehow rise above" show the difficulty in coping with such a loss but also the promise to overcome it. Despite this, the chorus warns that "Heaven help me if I ever lose your love" which highlights the importance of love and the devastating effect it could have if it was lost.

The second verse starts with "I've traded my innocence for the secrets of the night" which suggests a loss of purity and embracing darker, secretive aspects of life. The lyrics "felt my calloused conscience lose its grip on wrong and right" indicate a loss of moral compass and making choices that may not align with one's previous values. Despite this, the lines "but somehow I've held on, 'cause I could feel your touch" show the power of love to keep one grounded and provide stability. The song then repeats the same chorus about the importance of love and loss.

Overall, the song is a plea to a lover to never leave and the desperate fear of losing them. It portrays vulnerability and how love can help ground and guide us through life's ups and downs.

I could lose my vision
I am afraid to lose my ability to see

My eyes no longer see
I might become blind

I could lose my religion
I might lose my faith

In my struggle to believe
I am having trouble holding onto my beliefs

That would be a loss
It would be a sad thing to lose my vision or faith

That would be a cross
It would be hard to bear if I lost them

I'd somehow rise above
I would try to overcome the situation

But Heaven help me
But if I ever lose your love, I'll be lost

If I ever lose your love
If I lose the love of the one I care about

I've traded my innocence
I've given up my purity

For the secrets of the night
To know things that are considered immoral
