| I wish that heaven had visiting hours
|
| So I could just show up and bring the news
|
| That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her
|
| The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you
|
| Can I stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
|
| The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
|
| And soon they're going to close but I'll see you another day
|
| So much has changed since you been away
|
| I wish that heaven had visiting hours
|
| So I could just swing by and ask your advice
|
| What would you do in my situation?
|
| I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
|
| What would you do? |
| 'Cause you always do what's right
|
| Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
|
| I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
|
| You'd say remember that the answer in the love that we create
|
| So much has changed since you been away
|
| I wish that heaven had visiting hours
|
| And I would ask them if I could take you home
|
| But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
|
| So I will live life the way you taught me
|
| And make it on my own
|
| And I will close the door but I will open up my heart
|
| And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
|
| 'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just till we meet again
|
| So much has changed since you been away |
