This Must Be HeavenRick Astley

When I was much younger
It used to happen every night
I had a dream about a city dressed in lights
And there were friends of mine
I saw them time after time
But I never knew their names
And darling I swear
I saw you there
I know it sounds insane

Sweet dreams of a child forgotten so easy
I needed your smile to bring it all back to me
I see all of my life as the road that brought me here
Must be something went right
I just know when you're near

This must be heaven
Have I found it what I've been looking for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door

How could I have doubted
I guess I must have lost my place
You turned on the light
And I saw my life
Reflected in your face

Sweet dreams of a child forgotten so easy oh yeah
I needed your smile to bring it all back to me
I see all of my life as the road that brought me here
Must be something went right
I just know when you're near

This must be heaven
Have I found it what I've been looking for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door
And I always knew that there was something more

Come closer to me now
You fill me up I'm overflowing
Come closer to me now
Come hold me tight and don't let go

This must be heaven
Have I found it what I've been looking for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door

You fill me up girl
You fill me up and I'm overflowing

This must be heaven
Have I found what I've been living for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door

This must be heaven
Have I found what I've been looking for
This must be heaven
And I always knew that there were something more

Rick Astley

Richard Paul Astley is a British entertainer, most known for his 1987 sensation “Never Gonna Give You Up” which was the subject of rick-rolling. He recieved a Brit Award for Best Single in 1988 for his hit and a “Best Act Ever” Award at the 2008 MTV EMAs upon its re-emergence into popularity.

Born in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire on February 6, 1966, Astley’s first taste of music came at the age of 10 and he became known as a drummer throughout school before dropping out at age 16. He played for a local live act entitled “FBI” (with future Conservative Party politician David Morris as guitarist) that gained popularity around London. Astley, a huge admirer of Nat King Cole soon moved to lead vocalist by the time the group garnered the interest of Pete Waterman, a record executive and 1/3 of the Scott-Aitken-Waterman production trio. Waterman hired a 19 year-old Astley as a gofer (assistant) and Morris as a songwriter at his PWL (Pete Waterman, Limited) Studios. He used this time to pull Astley out of his ‘shyness’ and secured them both a contract with RCA Records.

“When You Gonna” with fellow PWL protégé Lisa Carter was his debut release, but it found little success and received no promotion; it was Lisa’s only official output. His first solo release, “Never Gonna Give You Up”, was dropped on July 28, 1987, and turned Astley into an international star. It topped 24 different charts and moved nearly 2 Million copies. Astley’s debut album Whenever You Need Somebody found similar success – it collected Gold or Platinum certifications in 10 different regions, including Platinum 4x in the United Kingdom.
