Verse 1
Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing 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
Chorus 1
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
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Verse 2
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah, nothing 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
Chorus 2
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 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
Yeah
Bridge
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, oh
Chorus 3
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
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven heaven
Outro
woah oh oh
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
Fun fact
”Heaven” by Bryan Adams was heavily influences by The Journey’s 1983 hit ”Faithfully”. Bryan was the opening act for over 100 dates on their ”Frontiers Tour”, and that’s when he wrote the song. The song actually features the drummer Steve Smith, who’s playing drums for The Journey!
”Heaven” has become a very popular song for weddings and romantic ceremonies all over the world, and is a timeless reminder of the transformative power of love! It’s a great song to practice, because it has both the standard, more simple open chords, but it also has a few bar chords which is essential to learn if you want to be able to play in different keys. Have fun!
