"Heaven in Your Eyes" is a song recorded by Canadian rock band Loverboy for the soundtrack to the film Top Gun. It later appeared on Loverboy's 1989 hits compilation Big Ones. The power ballad[2] reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US.
The song was originally written by Mae Moore and John Dexter, both Vancouver-area musicians.[3] As recorded, it is credited to Moore, Dexter and Paul Dean and Mike Reno from Loverboy.
Cash Box called it a "powerful, emotional rock ballad."[4] Billboard called it a "routine power ballad."[5]
Noteworthy is the fact that Loverboy keyboardist Doug Johnson does not appear in the song's music video. His absence was intentional, as he felt that the Top Gun film over-glamorized war and military service.[6]
