Comments:
At the end of 2001, a month or two before Eyra Gail's debut, DJ Sammy and Yanou's version of Heaven (featuring vocals by Dutch singer Dominique van Hulst) was released in Europe. 

Then, in February 2002, Eyra Gail's near identical version was released in the USA. 

In the end however, it was Dominique's performance that proved more durable, eventually reaching #8 on the US charts.

Audio-2:
Heaven (Budz Radio Edit)
 
  A pop oriented "Euro-trance" mix.
Audio-3:
Heaven (Chris The Greek Radio Edit)
 
 
Music researcher Pierre Oitmann comments:  "A somewhat outdated club version. These kind of mixes are still made by producers and DJ's from Belgium, Germany, UK and Italy. Some UK pop artists have similar sounding remixes made by teams like Soda Club, Illicit, Bimbo Jones and Almighty."
Audio-4:
Heaven (DJ Sunshine Radio Edit)
 
 
Pierre Oitmann comments:  "Heavily outdated. Sounds a lot like mid 90's Euro-trance from the Netherlands and Germany. The drum & bass rhythm are like UK techno from the early 90's, and even more like a Dutch dance style, named 'Happy Hardcore', which was extremely popular between 1994 and 1997."
Cover Versions:
Also recorded by Bryan Adams, Jose Andrea, Paul Anka, Brandi Carlile, DJ Sammy, Bert Heerink, Dystopia One, Emilia, Nick Carter, Do, Hanna Pakarinen
Lyrics:
Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya-nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven - heaven

I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you
