Heaven Tonight
YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN AND RISING FORCE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in a dream in the arms of the night
Two lonely prisoners of our own device
Don't let me go. Hold on together
You want to know if love can be real
I want to take everything I can steal
Love on the line, it's now or never.
Why can't the night last forever.

This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight.

Run through the night down streets of desire
Burning my soul, my heart's on fire
Give up the fight, it's sweet surrender
With trembling hands we reach for it all
Two desperate hearts waiting to fall
I need you now, now more than ever.

Why can't the night last forever.

This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight.

This feels like Paradise
I see the world in our eyes

If we just hold on tight
We'll be in Heaven tonight.
