Hands To Heaven Lyrics
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve
God give me strength when I am leaving
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
I whisper words of love, so softly
I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely
I must pack my bags and say goodbye, goodbye
this song makes me think of my boyfriend. He's leaving for the airforce sept 3rd and this song says it all.
Well this song can mean so many things. But for me it has always taken a different turn. This use to be mine and my Love Justins song. But Justin commited suciede Jan-22-00. And i remember always listening to this song before he died and thinking about where we would be in our future together, the life we could share and the love we had for one another. And as time passed on and he passed away the song took another turn. I seen it from a totally different aspect. One of a guy who might have died or left someone who they loved. And it being a song they sing for the one they loved and lost. As in a prayer to be with that person. Longing for their love and their touch just one more time. It is about loving and letting go. The song helped me get through Justins death. It was as if somehow and someway he was giving that song to me so i could get through it all!!!
@DRAMAGAL03 I hope you were able to find happiness again.

@DRAMAGAL03 You wrote this message so many years ago now. It was moving to read it. One great thing about good music is that its message can often be mutable and conform to different hearts, like water. A universal message speaking directly to all of our hearts, but filtered through our own individual souls. I have heard this song so many times and will listen to it many more before my time is over. When I hear it I listen to it on different levels at once. It whispers of deep, soulful, healing love and savoring those special moments that...

When I hear it I listen to it on different levels at once. It whispers of deep, soulful, healing love and savoring those special moments that do not last. Such love is difficult to live without when it is lost but we come to a place where we need smile because it happened, and no longer hurt because it is over. This is after the wound has healed. Ultimately, everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. So many people take life for granted until its too late.
You may never read this, but I hope you moved forward in your life and found peace and happiness. I hope you have healed your wounds.
@DRAMAGAL03 ;-( I cried reading that. I too wish you find happiness again my friend.

i think this song is about a soldier who's temporarily on leave, who finds the girl he loves but then suddenly he gets called off to war with no certainty of ever coming back or coming back alive. i imagine that this is the story of their last last together, where both of them don't want him to go where his being sent to, but it's inevitable so he's saying goodbye with so much pain.
@gaeastigma That's exactly what I think this song is about. They're both praying that he will survive and make it back home from the war that he's being sent off to fight in, so that they will be back together someday.

@ErinEM I'm old enough to advise through many loves, heartbreaks, loves, heartbreaks to assure you, even though you'll meet another you love as much, even though you'll remember this first real love you explain, you will indeed do.

it reminds me of a night i spent with the guy i am falling slowly in love with. it describes it so well. beaautiful songs for all lovers out there
I've always loved this song. I could cry every time I hear it. Ironic that years later, it now describes the situation I am in with my love. My world revolves around waiting to see him again, he lives so far away. What we have is worth the wait though, I 'm happy just knowing that I wasn't wrong my whole life, dreaming that I would find my perfect match.
@WinterOnyx Ok so what's the update? Did you reconnect?

Oh I was wrong about him, lol. So many years ago now but I burned for him for a long time. It taught me a lot. Now I'm a very happy mother of two with the real love of my life.

I def. think its about what the whole "whats to come" or "what I hoped would come" theory. It seems like hes thinking about someone he really loved, and hes dreaming about all the things that would have happened if they stayed together. And how he wishes she was there now because:
Tonight, you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness
Of course it also could mean hes leaving for whatever the reason and hes just reminiscing about how much he loved her and how she always gave him that "complete" feeling of being in love.
this was probably the most sensual love song I've ever heard...
none of us are going to know the exact scenario, ie; soldier, college student, suicide person. It's about that last night before not seeing someone for an indefinate amount of time. The love is pure and heartfelt.
This song has a new meaning for me. My wife of 40 yrs has passed away. Literally hands to Heaven and pray that I will see her in Heaven someday.
