"Heaven" is a song performed by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. The song was written by Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, who produced the song with David Mackay. It was released in July 1977 by RCA Records, as the lead single from Tyler's second studio album Natural Force (1978). The lyrics depict Tyler realising that her relationship with her partner is breaking down.

The song did not repeat the success of Tyler's previous singles "Lost in France" and "More Than a Lover", and only charted in Germany.

Tyler released another single entitled "Heaven" from her twelfth studio album All in One Voice (1998).

Critical reception

Record Mirror gave the song a negative review, saying "[Tyler] takes it a bit slow this time and creates less impact than the previous two big hits."^[1]
