"Heaven Can Wait" is a 1988 song performed by German singer Sandra and written by Michael Cretu, Hubert Kemmler (known as Hubert Kah), Markus Löhr and Klaus Hirschburger. It was arranged by Michael Cretu and Markus Löhr, and produced by Cretu. The song was released as the lead single from Sandra's third studio album Into a Secret Land in mid-1988. The single reached the top 10 in Austria and France, the top 20 in Germany and Switzerland and was one of Sandra's few singles to break into the UK Top 100. In Austria, it was also a top 10 airplay hit.[1] It was Sandra's fourth and last silver-certified single in France.

The music video was directed by DoRo (Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher) in Ibiza.[2] The clip was released on Sandra's VHS video compilation 18 Greatest Hits in 1992[3] as well as the 2003 DVD The Complete History.[4]

In 1999, a remix of the song was released on Sandra's compilation My Favourites. The track was remixed again for her 2006 compilation Reflections.
