Heaven’s What I Feel Lyrics

Love sometimes can be like destiny
There's no way to say forever
It may not realize your dreams
And love sometimes is like the blowing wind
It can take us to wherever
Sending us on silent wings

But I have broken all the rules of love
I never dreamed that I could come this far
And now I'm lost in my emotions
You're becoming my devotion
There's nothing I can do to stop this love for you

I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else and someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to let this love get through
So let me say for real: Heaven's what I feel when I'm with you

This feeling is forever, it is forever
You make me feel like Heaven, I feel like Heaven
My love is true when I'm with you

How could I have known that in your eyes
I would find the deepest answers to the questions of my heart
And how could I have known that by your side
Was the light to fill the darkness in the shadows of my life
But I have broken all the rules of love
I never dreamed that I could come this far
And now I'm lost in my emotions
You're becoming my devotion
There's nothing I can do to stop this love for you

I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else and someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to let this love get through
So let me say for real: Heaven's what I feel when I'm with you

This feeling is forever
You make me feel like heaven
My love is true when I'm with you

This feeling is forever, it is forever
You make me feel like Heaven, I feel like Heaven
My love is true when I'm with you

Heaven, Heaven
Is what I feel when we're together
Heaven, Heaven
Just look in my eyes and you'll see it's the truth

And I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else and someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to let this love get through
So let me say for real: Heaven's what I feel
And I was not supposed to let this love get through
So let me say for real: Heaven's what I feel when I'm with you

What did Gloria Estefan say about "Heaven's What I Feel"?
Genius Answer

This song was originally written for and recorded by Céline Dion. As luck would have it, Céline decided not to include it on her album and I loved the melody and lyric so much that I wanted it to be the first single from my 1998 dance-infused ‘Gloria!’ album. The first live performance of this song was on VH1’s first ever ‘Divas Live’. I’ll never forget tripping on a lovely ‘wrap stole’ that I did not want to wear, fearing that exactly what happened would happen and on live television no less. But I guess that’s what keeps those live shows exciting. I’ll also never forget how dizzy I got shooting the music video when I had to do somersaults hanging in mid-air on a wire. I had to send a runner out for dramamine. How they talk me into these things I’ll never know!
