Heaven Can Wait (Sandra song)

"Heaven Can Wait" is a song by German pop singer Sandra, released in 1988 as the third single from her third studio album, Into a Secret Land. The song was written by Hubert Kemmler (known as Hubert Kah), Markus Löhr, and Klaus Hirschburger, and produced by Michael Cretu.

The song is a mid-tempo pop track characterized by its layered synthesizers, prominent bassline, and Sandra's breathy vocals. The lyrics describe a longing for a perfect romantic relationship and a reluctance to settle for anything less than ideal, suggesting a willingness to wait for the right person even if it takes a long time.

"Heaven Can Wait" became a commercial success, particularly in continental Europe. It reached the top 20 in several countries, including Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The song's popularity was further boosted by its music video, which featured Sandra in a futuristic and somewhat abstract setting.

The single's artwork often featured imagery related to the album Into a Secret Land, depicting Sandra in various poses and settings. Different editions of the single may have included remixes or extended versions of the song, as well as B-sides. "Heaven Can Wait" remains one of Sandra's signature songs and is frequently included in compilation albums of her greatest hits.
