Heaven to Me
Love's Divine Revelation: Heaven in Your Heart
Lyrics
When I asked my Dad what he thought of the Man in the Sky
Asking Dad about his thoughts on God
He said "Son I won't know till the last day that I close my eyes"
Dad's uncertainty about knowing until death
Then I moved away, and met a girl full of faith
Meeting a faithful girl after moving
And she became my home
The girl becoming a comforting place
Must've taken pity on this sinner from the city
Feeling undeserving but receiving kindness
With her small town heart of gold
Girl's genuine and kind-hearted nature
Oh she knows I don't know
Girl aware of the narrator's uncertainty
But she says it's alright
Girl's acceptance despite differences
As long as there's love in our eyes
Importance of love in their relationship
So lay your head on my shoulder
Offering support and comfort
Cause Lord knows, we're both getting older
Acknowledging aging and mortality
Whenever I go, the one thing I know and believe
Believing in a constant truth
Your heart is Heaven to me
Her heart is a sanctuary to the narrator
Doesn't think I'm a heathen for not believing
Girl's acceptance of narrator's beliefs
What she knows is true
Her belief contrasted with the narrator's skepticism
Cause God wouldn't want us to end it all over a different point of view
Respecting differing perspectives on faith
Oh I hope she's right and I'm wrong about it all
Narrator's hope for the girl's belief to be right
And they don't turn off the lights
Fear of unknown consequences after death
But if it's just here and now, at least I know I've found
Finding profound love despite uncertainties
A love that's divine
Describing their love as divine
So lay your head on my shoulder
Offering reassurance and comfort again
Cause Lord knows, we're both getting older
Reflection on aging and the certainty of love
Whenever I go, the one thing I know and believe
Reiteration of the importance of her heart
Your heart is Heaven to me
Her heart symbolizes paradise for the narrator
Oh I hope that I see Angels
Hope for a spiritual afterlife
And hear their melodies
Desire for divine experiences
But if your heart is Heaven
Realization of the girl's heart as heavenly
I think I'm starting to see
Narrator's evolving perception of heaven
So lay your head on my shoulder
Repeated assurance and comfort
Cause Lord knows, we're both getting older
Reflection on aging and love's certainty
Whenever I go, the one thing I know and believe
Restating the significance of her heart
Your heart is Heaven to me
Final affirmation of her heart as paradise
I think I'm starting to see
Narrator's realization of her heart's significance
