Close To Heaven
David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff
Wasn't paved with gold at all
Still we always made it
Givin' up would be so wrong
Ain't there moments you recall
Tell me why you fake it
What's the reason for that sudden barricade
Didn't honesty for you and me
Open every gate
We were so close to heaven
But now we're close to hell
It's time for us to break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away
Some demon put a spell on you
But I'm ready for the fight
Let me exorcise him
Well you what we gonna do
You just give me one more night
And I neutralize him
Let us tear them down those windy barricades
Didn't honesty for you and me
Open up the gates
We were so close to heaven
But now we're close to hell
It's time for us to break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away
Don't believe his promises
His forbidden fruit
Sure will turn out bitter-sweet
It won't do no good
We were so close to heaven
But now we're close to hell
It's time for us to break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away
Let's break the silence here today
We were so close to heaven
Don't give me your farewell
No devil can ever steal your heart away
Close To Heaven
David Hasselhoff's 1987 single "Close To Heaven" stands as a defining anthem of the late 1980s pop-rock era. Recorded during a period of intense commercial success, the track blends the artist's signature high-energy delivery with a polished, radio-friendly production style that characterized his discography at the time. Released alongside other major hits like "I'll Be The One" and "The Young & The Restless," the song exemplifies the theatrical pop sound that propelled Hasselhoff to global stardom. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to capture the optimism and excess of the mid-80s, cementing Hasselhoff's status as a cultural icon of the decade through its infectious melody and powerful vocals.
