About Heaven on the 7th Floor

"Heaven on the 7th Floor" is a 1977 hit single by British singer Paul Nicholas. It was his biggest U. S. hit, a track from his eponymous debut LP. The song spent three weeks at number 6 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100. during November and December of that year. "Heaven On The 7th Floor" became a Gold record. It reached number 49 in Canada. The song was not among Nicholas's most popular hits in Britain, although it was a Top 10 hit in other nations. On the 22 October 1977 American Top 40 radio program, Casey Kasem described Nicholas as "a performer who didn't want to be there," i. e., on the musical charts. Having had a successful film career in Europe for 10 years, he had come to America to audition for a stage production of Hamlet, however, he was not selected. Nicholas felt that musical success might help him make more of a name for himself, and would open a door for him into bigger acting roles. Kasem said of this strategy, "He makes the music industry sound easier than it really is." more »

"Goin' up" she said uh huh
Just as we were startin' to climb together
Oh oh lookin' up I said uh huh
"Maybe I could see you tonight?"
She said "never!"
ooh ooh I was out of luck
But ten seconds later somehow we got stuck in that elevator
Heaven on the 7th floor
(Hey baby)
Heaven on the 7th floor
(I ain't complainin')
But I've never been so high before
So please don't rescue me
Never set me free
Hey, hey, hey

"We're alone" I said uh huh
Looks like we could be here all night
Together ooh ooh
"There's a phone" she said uh huh
Gonna have us out in five minutes' time whatever
"Please could you make it ten" I told the operator
I'm havin' so much fun in this elevator
(repeat chorus)

And as the Musak played sooner or later I knew
We'd fall in love in that elevator
