If Only In Heaven's Eyes
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
I never thought you were a fairweather friend
You never let me down, you're true to the end
You're in the darkest hour, when all was lost
Somehow you left the light on
You faced the wrong and showed the world a thing or two
Stood up for me, for you
And you should know
Some say it wasn't worth the things we went through
I say it ain't worth losing you
I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives
Someday you'll see if only through heaven's eyes
Only through heaven's eyes
I still remember the things that you said
I keep your words alive I could never forget
'cause in the final hour you made me proud
So proud that I could know you
You told the world it's time that they believed in you
You stood for right and truth
And you should know
Hook
And so we can't forget
We've got to keep remembering them all
The ones who took the fall
They did it for us all
And we should learn from it
Stand up if you believe in it
You've got to face the world
Be strong

You never let me down, you're true to the end
You're in the darkest hour, when all was lost
Somehow you left the light on
You faced the wrong and showed the world a thing or two
Stood up for me, for you
And you should know
Some say it wasn't worth the things we went through
I say it ain't worth losing you
I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives
Someday you'll see if only through heaven's eyes
Only through heaven's eyes
I still remember the things that you said
I keep your words alive I could never forget
'cause in the final hour you made me proud
So proud that I could know you
You told the world it's time that they believed in you
You stood for right and truth
And you should know
Hook
And so we can't forget
We've got to keep remembering them all
The ones who took the fall
They did it for us all
And we should learn from it
Stand up if you believe in it
You've got to face the world
Be strong

If Only In Heaven's Eyes
Babyface's 'If Only In Heaven's Eyes' stands as a poignant exploration of longing and spiritual connection, characteristic of his signature R&B and soulful pop style. Recorded during the height of his early solo career, the track exemplifies his ability to blend lush production with deeply personal lyrics that resonate with themes of love transcending earthly boundaries. As a key component of his discography, the song reflects the era's emphasis on emotional vulnerability and polished musicality that defined his work in the 1990s. It remains a testament to his capacity to craft melodies that linger in the mind, capturing the essence of devotion and the desire for a union beyond the physical realm.
