Can Heaven Wait Lyrics

Can Heaven Wait lyrics

Quarter after seven, got a phone call

 Telling me to get here quick

 Said your girl is in a bad situation

 They don't know if she's gonna make it

 

 As I hurry to be by her side

 I ask a thousand times, why oh why

 There's no rhyme or reason in my life 

 With you lying here this way

 

 I'd give anything just to trade places with you

 So I'm begging heaven down on my knees

 To help you make it through

 

 [1] - Tell me can heaven wait

 Can heaven wait just one more night

 Tell me what it's gonna take 

 To keep you with me in my life

 

 Giving up the shame of my other life

 Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light

 Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right

 Can heaven wait one night

 

 Thinking back on times that I've wasted

 I should have cherished every day

 All the different flavors that I tasted

 Can't compare to you, no way

 

 As I reminisce by your side

 Tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes

 All the things I did that weren't right

 Wish I could apologize

 

 I'd give anything if I could trade places with you

 So I'm beggin' heaven down on my knees

 To help you make it through

 

 [Repeat 1]

 

 I'm gonna stop the world, reverse the time

 Do whatever it takes to keep you alive

 Heaven has to wait one more day

 

 Baby, take my breath so you can breathe

 I need you here so don't you leave

 Heaven has to wait

 

 [Repeat 1 until fade]
