Story Behind the Song
When I started writing Heaven I wanted to write one of those great love songs, the ones that take you back to the moment your first heard them.
I had in mind all of those love songs they play at senior proms, like "With or Without You" by U2, or "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden. I wanted to write a song that was that powerful, and that innocent, at the same time.
The impetus came when a band I was in played at a dance in the Utah State Capitol. It was a beautiful evening, and playing in that building with all that wonderful echo was what I imagined Heaven would sound like. At one point during the evening I started playing this beautiful, crystaline chord progression. It became this song.
Not long after that night, I met the girl who would become the love of my life. During this period of time I was going through some real hell in my personal and family life...this girl healed me. She got me through the "fire" I was facing at the time. I wrote this song to show her that, no matter what happened, I would be there for her...just as she had been for me.
Lyrics
Angel, will you open your eyes?
Tonight you're all that's real
So share another dream with me
Maybe you can help me to remember
How love feels
Well a part of me gets lost inside of you
And Heaven opens wide
I fear so much, but when you touch my heart
I am stripped of foolish pride
And if the fire came right now
I would be here till the end
Cause when a love is so strong
Then the angels will defend it
But what of all the time gone by?
And what of all the bitter tears?
The history of our love deeply engraved in
Heaven's wall
Could resurrect a thousand years
Well there's a life that's breathing
Deep inside of you
And God only knows how much you gave to me
And when I look into your eyes to see what's true
I see you looking back at me...
And if the fire came right now
I would be here till the end
Cause when a love is so strong
Then the angels will defend it
