Candice Ghant had the lead vocals on this smooth song wrote and produced by none other than Rick James. He created a masterpiece with this song, the Mary Jane Girls voices were so angel like man. This song didn’t get the recognition the other hits did but I feel like this is indeed a hit record.
[Verse 1]
Tonight, I’m gonna touch the sky with you
And let your wings touch every part of me
One kiss for luck and we can start this trip together
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) You inspire my desires
(Come on and take me a little higher)
[Chorus]
Ooh... (You are my heaven)
You are my heaven (Heaven)
Right here on earth to me
Ooh, ooh (You are my heaven)
You are my heaven (Heaven)
That’s how it’s gonna be
[Verse 2]
Tonight, I put my womanly pride aside
You’re such an angel, there’s no need to hide
I feel so warm and safe within your arms so tender
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) You inspire my desires
(Come on and take me a little higher)
[Chorus]
Ooh... (You are my heaven)
You are my heaven (Heaven)
Right here on earth with me
Woo, ooh, ooh... (You are my heaven)
You are my heaven (Heaven)
That’s how it’s gonna be
Ooh, ooh... (You are my heaven) Ooh, ooh...
(Heaven)
And that’s the way it should be
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh... (You are my heaven)
You are my heaven (Heaven)
And that’s the way it should be
[Outro]
Kiss me once and then fly away, my angel
Goodbye
