RE: Come on! Bring em' on! HEAVEN

TripleB · Superstar

Boy! These are all great lyrics with the theme of Heaven in em'! Thanks for playing along!

Now....here's one we prob all know....Bob Dylan....

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Bob Dylan.....Knocking on Heaven's Door

All great songs! My daughter loves the DJ Sammy one - I've heard it about a thousand times coming from her room!

I heard this one this morning

Too close to Heaven - The waterboys

All you trouble will be over, so will your pain
you are gonna see those blue skies bursting right through the rain
The higher you climb, the lower you fall
You got too close to heaven, that's all

Now in the morning you can cry all you want to
- we'll spend the whole day weeping
Right now I want to lay down your weary head
and let me see you sleeping
You've been walking around baby, inflamed and ashamed
feeling like you're one inch tall
You got too close to heaven, thats all.

You're way too hard on yourself baby
you got some pretty basic things wrong
You wouldn't beleive me if I told you why I wrote you into
this song
You're looking at your heart baby,
and your calling it black
but like Icarus and Saul
You got to close to heaven, thats all

Now I know this hurt your feelings - I've felt these same things too
I've got spaces way down deep inside of me
that are just the same as you
You wanna wrap your arms around your head
turn out the lights
and roll yourself into a ball
You got to close to heaven, thats all

Are you blinded by the brilliance?
Are you dazzled by the light?
Why is it I see nothing but emptiness in your tired beaten eyes
that once were bright
I know you just can't help but run when you hear
that sweet voice call
You got too close to heaven, thats all

I walked a mile for you baby
so won't you smile for me baby?

always loved this one:

DJ Sammy - Heaven

Oh, thinking 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 coming back for more

Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding 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
Pick you up when your feeling down
Now nothing could change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding 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

I've been waiting for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
Im finding 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, Oh
Oh, Oh
We're in heaven

TripleB · Superstar

I heard this one just yesterday....

THIS COULD BE HEAVEN by Seal

We should be right here
Get through all this fear
One of these days
Cause when it comes along
We should be right here
One of these days
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
Livin' for the part
Givin' from the heart
Now and forever
But if we let it wait too long
What we have is gone
Memory only
This could be heaven
Maybe we could start a life today
This could be heaven
Love instead of throwin' it all away
This could be heaven
You and me, we know we're our best friends
This could be heaven
Whoever thought we would get this far
Tryin' for all these years
The thought that we would fade away
Was more than I could bear
Oh, I would do anything if you would stay
If you'd stay
Say
We should be right here
Get through all this fear
One of these days
One of these days
This could be heaven
Turnin' it on for human kind
With you by my side
This could be heaven
Sure we could decide to run away
But we'd run away from all this here
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven

Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell
by Kiss

I'd have to be a mindreader, baby, just to know what's goin' on
You don't need no crystal ball, sugar, can't you see my love is strong

Don't you know my temperature is startin' to rise up
And it's draggin' me under your spell

Chorus:
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry

You don't have to be no fortune teller, to see I just can't take no more
You been such a heartbreaker, baby, you keep a lock on heaven's door

Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And standin' in the shadow of love

Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you, I can't hurt you

Don't need your lovin', don't want nothin'
Don't need your sympathy, don't need a friend
I just need somethin' I can believe in, I can believe in

Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And hidin' in the shadow of love

I'm somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want me, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry
Somewhere between love and hate
Don't know just what I'm feelin', babe I think it's gettin' late
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you...

Here is another one by

"I'M IN HEAVEN" BY ATC

I'm in heaven when you kiss me
show me how you miss me
Take me with you back to Wonderland
I'm in heaven when you kiss me
show me how you miss me
Take me with you back to Wonderland

You capture me with a stare
I'll follow you anywhere
You lead me into temptation.
I guess you need to enjoy
I'm like a kid with a toy
I'm losing my concentration.
One kiss from you, I'm on fire
Your touch is all I desire
One look and you take me higher
You know I couldn't resist
Yeah I miss...every time I'm with you
Every time that we kiss!

CHORUS:
I'm in heaven when you kiss me
Heaven when you kiss me
You were sent to me from Wonderland!
I'm in heaven when you kiss me
Heaven when you kiss me
You were sent to me from Wonderland!
I go crazy when you kiss me!
Show me how you miss me
Take me with you back to Wonderland!
You know I couldn't resist
Yeah I miss... every time I'm with you
Everytime that we kiss!

I dream of you every night
Feels like I'm losing my mind
The feelin's just getting stronger!
My head is spinnin' around
You play with me but I'm bound
I can't resist any longer!

One kiss from you, I'm on fire
Your touch is all I desire
One look and you take me higher!
You know I couldn't resist
Yeah I miss...every time I'm with you
Every time that we kiss!

CHORUS:
I'm in heaven when you kiss me
Heaven when you kiss me
You were sent to me from Wonderland!
I'm in heaven when you kiss me
Heaven when you kiss me
You were sent to me from Wonderland!
I go crazy when you kiss me
Show me how you miss me
Take me with you back to Wonderland
You know I couldn't resist
Yeah I miss... every time I'm with you
Everytime that we kiss!

You know that I'm hypnotized
Each time I look in your eyes
You know I couldn't disguise
And I couldn't resist everytime that we kiss...

BRIDGE:
I'm in heaven when you kiss me
Heaven when you kiss me
You were sent to me from Wonderland!

CHORUS:
I'm in heaven when you kiss me
Heaven when you kiss me
You were sent to me from Wonderland!
Ooh it's heaven when you kiss me
Heaven when you kiss me
You were sent to me from Wonderland!
I go crazy when you kiss me
Baby don't resist me
Take me with you back to Wonderland!
You know I that I'm hypnotized... by your eyes
And I just can't resist
Everytime that we kiss!

You know I that I'm hypnotized... by your eyes
And I just can't resist
Everytime that we kiss...

Dont really like this song- far too MOR for my tastes!!! But ill play along!

By Maria McKee from Tom Cruise film "Days Of Thunder"

There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey baby, come over here and shut them tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way...

(Chorus)
Oh Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh Show me heaven please

Here I go
I'm shaking just like the breeze
Hey baby I need your hand to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine

Rep Chorus

If you know what it's like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight
And let this be oh

Heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh Show me heaven please

Leave me breathless
Leave me breathless
Cover me
Oh yeah..

The only 2 i could find with the song title close to heaven was performed by David Hasselhoff and Witchfynde,

Witchfynde - Close To Heaven Lyrics

The road we both been walkin' on
Wasn't paved with gold at all
Still we always made it
Givin' up would be so wrong
Ain't there moments you recall

Tell me why you fake it
What's the reason for that sudden barricade
Didn't honesty for you and me
Open every gate

We were so close to heaven
But now we're close to hell
It's time for us to break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away

Some demon put a spell on you
But I'm ready for the fight
Let me exorcise him
Well you what we gonna do
You just give me one more night
And I neutralize him
Let us tear them down those windy barricades
Didn't honesty for you and me
Open up the gates

We were so close to heaven
But now we're close to hell
It's time for us to break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away

Don't believe his promises
His forbidden fruit
Sure will turn out bitter-sweet
It won't do no good

We were so close to heaven
But now we're close to hell
It's time for us to break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away

Let's break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away

Raven · Senior Member

Thanks LucyB, I adore Led Zeppelin - one of my all time fav bands.

Here is a song that brings back wonderful memories for me! lol

HEAVEN SENDS YOU - THE MISSION

I'll kiss the sleep from your eyes
I'll kiss you when the sun goes down
I'll kiss you until sunrise
I'll kiss the skin from your lips
And I'll kiss you on your finger tips
And I'll kiss you on the back of your neck
And I'll kiss you behind your ears
And I'll kiss away your tears and fears
And I'll kiss away those hurting years
And I'll kiss away those cruel dark hours
And I'll kiss the petals on your flower
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
I'll kiss you until heaven sends you

I'll kiss you between your toes
I'll kiss you on the bottom of your feet
I'll run my tongue across your back
I'll kiss you behind your naked knees
I'll kiss your breast, I'll drink your milk
I'll run my tongue between your lips
I'll kiss you, kiss you , kiss you on your sex
and I'll take you, take you, take you in my mouth
And I'll kiss you, kiss you until heaven sends you

Off for a cold shower now before work!! lol

We can't forget this one.....

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling i get
When i look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts i have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Heaven Is A Place On Earth Lyrics

(R. Nowels/E. Shipley)

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel Lyrics

(K. St. Louis and Freddie Perrin)

Heaven must be missin' an angel
Missin' one angel child
'Cause you're here with me right now
(your love is heavenly, baby)
(heavenly to me, baby)

Your kiss filled with tenderness
I want all I can get of your sexiness
Showers, your love comes in showers
And every hour on the hour
You let me feel your loving power

There's a rainbow over my shoulder (ooh, ooh)
When you came, my cup runneth over (ooh, ooh)
You gave me your heavenly love
And if one night you hear crying from above

It's 'cause heaven must be missin' an angel
Missin, one angel child
'Cause you're here with me right now
(Your love is heavenly, baby)
(Heavenly to me, baby)

Ooooh, (heaven, heaven)
Ooooh, (heaven, heaven)
Ooooh, (heaven, heaven)
Heaven, heaven

Ooooh, I'm captured by your spell (ooh-ooh)
You're different, girl, I can tell (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When you're layin' on my pillow, baby
Above your pretty head, there's a halo
That's why I know

Heaven, must be missin'an angel (heaven)
Missin' one angel child
'Cause you're here with me right now (mmmha)
(your love is heavenly, baby)
(heavenly to me, baby)
Oooh, my sweet little angel (heaven)
My pretty little angel (heaven)
I love you, love you, love you, (heaven)
Love you, baby, say right now (heaven)

Ooh, heaven (heaven)
Must be missing an angel (heaven)
Missing one angel, child (heaven
Cause you're here with me right now (heaven)
Oooooh, my heaven (heaven)
Missin' an angel (heaven)
(heaven)
(heaven)

You must have slipped away along the Milky Way
It's 'cause (Your kiss)
Your kiss (filled with tenderness)
You came C O D on a moonbeam straight to me
Just like (Showers, showers, showers, showers)
Showers (Showers, showers, showers)
(ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh)

Your heavenly power gets stronger by the hour
(Heaven, must be missin' an angel)
I'm captured by your spell
Oh, girl, can't you tell (Heaven)
Heaven (must be missin' an angel)

(Heaven)
Oooh, oooh
(Heaven)
Oooh, oooh
(Heaven)
Oooh, oooh
(Heaven)
Ooh, so-so good, so-so good, so-so good, baby, mmm

(It's just so good, so good, so good), yeah

I love the way you move, I love the way you groove
(It's just so good, so good, so good)
(It's just so good, so good, so good)
Just like heaven, oh, baby

Heaven

Vamanos!

Save me from this prison
Lord, help me get away
'Cause only you can save me now
From this misery

Well I've been lost in my own place
And I'm getting' weary
How far is heaven?
And I know that I need to change
My ways of living
How far is heaven?
Lord, can you tell me?

I've been locked up way too long
In this crazy world
How far is heaven?
I just keep on prayin', Lord
I just keep on livin'
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord, can you tell me?)
How far is heaven?
(I just gotta know how far it is)
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord, can you tell me?)

Tu que estas en alto cielo, hechame tu bendicion.
[translated from Spanish: you that's in a higher place, send me down a blessing]

'Cause I know there's a better place
In this place I'm livin'
How far is heaven?
So I just got to show some faith
And just keep on givin'
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven?
(I just gotta know how far it is)
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord, can you tell me?)
How far is heaven?
I just gotta know how far
I just wanna know how far
