Heaven can wait
And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart
Will take me throu-ough the lonely night
Through the cold of the day
And I know-ow, I know
Heaven can wait
And all the gods come down here just to sing for me
And the melody-y's gonna make me fly
Without pain, without fear

Give me all of your drea-eams a-and
Let me go-o along on your way
Give me all of your prayers to sing and I'll
Turn the ni-ight into the skylight of day
I've got a taste of paradise
I'm never gonna let it slip away
I got a taste of paradise
It's all that I really need to make me stay
Just like a chi-ild again

Heaven can wait
And all I got is time unti-il the end of time
Well I won't look back, I won't look back
Let the a-altar-ar shine

And I know that I've been released
But I don't know to where
Nobody's gonna tell me now
And I don't really care, no no no
I got a taste of paradise
That's all I really need to make me stay
I gotta taste of paradise
If I had it any sooner, you know
You know I never would have run away
From my home

Heaven can wait
And all I got is time unti-il the end of time
Well I won't look back, I won't look back
Let the a-altar-ar shine

Heaven can wait, ahh, heaven can wait
Well I won't look back, I won't look back
Let the a-altar-ar shine
Let - the - al-tar shine
