"Heaven" is a song by the Canadian singer and songwriter Bryan Adams recorded in 1983, written by Adams and Jim Vallance. It first appeared on the A Night in Heaven soundtrack album the same year and was later included on Adams' album Reckless in 1984. It was released as the third single from Reckless and reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in June 1985, over a year and a half after the song first appeared on record. The single was certified Gold in Canada in 1985.


Heavily influenced by Journey's 1983 hit "Faithfully", the song was written while Adams served as the opening act on that band's Frontiers Tour, and features their drummer, Steve Smith. It provided Adams with his first number one single and third top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track placed number 24 on Billboard magazine's Top Pop Singles of 1985.







Lyrics


Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years

There was only you and me

We were young and wild and free


Now nothin' can take you away from me

We've been down that road before

But that's over now

You keep me comin' back for more


Baby, you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven


And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven


Oh, once in your life you find someone

Who will turn your world around

Bring you up when you're feelin' down


Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me

Oh, there's lots that I could say

But just hold me now

'Cause our love will light the way


And, baby, you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven


Yeah, love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven


I've been waitin' for so long

For somethin' to arrive

For love to come along


Now our dreams are comin' true

Through the good times and the bad

Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you


And, baby, you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven


And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven, heaven


You're all that I want

You're all that I need


We're in heaven

We're in heaven

We're in heaven
