Got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded
And it's looking pretty worn
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray,
But man they're really coming back
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl
CHORUS:
Heaven isn't too far away,
Closer to it every day.
No matter what your friends might say...
How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like a blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe
I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven isn't too far away,
Closer to it every day. (oh-oh)
No matter what your friends might say...
We'll find a way
(Whoa, yeah, babe)
Now the lights are going out
Along the boulevard
The memories come rushing back
And it makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day. (oh-oh)
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way
Heaven
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Heaven
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh
Heaven
It's not too far away
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah
And you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded
And it's looking pretty worn
Silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray,
But man they're really coming back
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl
Heaven isn't too far away,
Closer to it every day.
No matter what your friends might say...
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like a blue suburban sky
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Closer to it every day. (oh-oh)
No matter what your friends might say...
We'll find a way
Along the boulevard
The memories come rushing back
And it makes it pretty hard
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you
Closer to it every day. (oh-oh)
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Heaven
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh
Heaven
It's not too far away
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah

It's about a guy so in love with a girl, but her friends think that he's not good enough for her. He's telling her that he will do whatever it takes to give her a good life. As long as she believes in him, they can be happy. I love this song too, it is such a classic.
Firstly, Poison does not suck. Some of their stuff like, defines the pop culture that was hair metal. The music was amusing, pop-rockish kinda 80s glam, and if you like that, then you should LOVE Poison.
Secondly, to ^eceF. and AC/DC fan, the little girl thing does sound kinda weird. BUT if you think about it, he's kinda talking to the photo, so I'm thinking that the "little girl" is the love of his life, when she was a little girl in the picture. And now he's all grown up and looking at her past, kinda thing. Make any sense to you guys?
This is one of my favorite songs!
great lyrics! great song.
This song is really great!! It is about being with your loved one is considered as "Heaven"..
mm, if yoi don't like any of their songs why did you come to this board? This is a beautiful song, and Warrant iis a great band!
POWER BALLADS ARE THE BEST LOVE SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!! NO POP!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE SOME R&B, BUT POWER BALLADS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this is just one of the pettiest songs EVER penned. It's so sweet and romantic...^^ Reminds me of my friends Al and Daisy.
The one thing I'm confused about is in the first pre-chorus, he says "I don't need to be the king of the world, as long as I'm the hero of this LITTLE GIRL".
Little girl...maybe his daughter? Because "baby girl" might mean loved girlfriend or wife, but "little girl" is not at all your girlfriend or wife.
Beautiful and amazing song either way, just curious about that part.
Yea I agree with ^exeF I love this song but have two different opinions about the meaning of it. The first was of a rock star or dad or some idol to this little girl whether child or teen and she's depressed but her idol gives her hope no matter what hard ships gets in her way that she will be truly happy aka Heaven's not too far away and the second meaning is like everyone else is saying that its a wife or gf with a boyfriend or husband trying to make ends meet and proves himself worthy for this woman even though no one else agrees he is to her.
