When I lost direction, and didn't know where to go
When love was evasive it had no way to grow
I asked God for some answers, and kept him close to me
I knew, I was needin' heaven in my arms

When God showed me heaven, he didn't lift me up
Above the clouds and stars, the way that we think of
He used the wings of an angel protecting me from harm
I knew, I was holdin' heaven in my arms

I'm holding heaven in my arms
Every time I'm holding you
I feel the gift of love, when I'm alone with you
And everything's alright, when I'm holding heaven in my arms

You may think you aren't angel, but you really are to me
I still thank God for showing the way for me to be
And that he used an angel, protecting me from harm
I know, I'm holding heading heaven in my arms
