What is “Heaven” about?
"Heaven" finds paradise in ordinary moments with a partner: counting stars on a rooftop above the city lights, Sunday morning coffee, dancing in the kitchen. The narrator has seen a million faces around the world and decides nothing compares, concluding that "heaven is you and me." As the penultimate track on Paraíso, it sets up the closing title track, which carries the same idea of a forever place into Spanish.
Heaven lyrics
(Heaven...)
(Santiago)
Lying on the rooftop counting stars with you
City lights below us painting shades of blue
Your head on my shoulder, time just disappears
In this perfect moment, nothing else is here
The world keeps moving but we're standing still
Every second with you is a thrill
If this is a dream
Don't wake me up
If this is love
I can't get enough
This must be heaven
Cause nothing on earth could feel this way
This must be heaven
I'd give up everything just to stay
Your love is my heaven
The place where I never wanna leave
This must be heaven
And heaven is you and me
Sunday morning coffee, your smile across the room
Dancing in the kitchen to our favorite tune
You make the ordinary feel like a miracle
Every little detail, spiritual
I never knew that peace could feel this loud
You are my sunshine through every cloud
If this is a dream
Don't wake me up
If this is love
I can't get enough
This must be heaven
Cause nothing on earth could feel this way
This must be heaven
I'd give up everything just to stay
Your love is my heaven
The place where I never wanna leave
This must be heaven
And heaven is you and me
I've been around the world
Seen a million faces
But nowhere compares
To your embraces
You're my paradise
My forever place
This must be heaven
Cause nothing on earth could feel this way
Your love is my heaven
The place where I never wanna leave
This must be heaven
And heaven is you and me
(Heaven...)
(You're my everything)
