Only Heaven Can Wait (For Love) |
We know that it’s all over, still we haven’t said goodbye, |
Pretending life is wonderful, pretending you and I. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Waiting for love won’t make it happen, |
Crying for love don’t mean you care… oh no, |
Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended. |
Never’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
In horoscopes, in true romance and Playboy magazine, |
We lie in bed at night and search the pages for our dreams. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
And waiting for love won’t make it happen, |
Crying for love don’t mean you care… oh no, |
Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended, |
Ever’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Talking… |
So we’ve been together too long, you and I. |
There were the children, shared interests, creative interests, business |
interests, our In-laws, |
and then just plain old bad habit. |
Now things have changed. |
You’ve changed, I’ve changed and it’s time to move on. |
So, my sweet, you kept doubting that I would understand what you meant when you |
said you needed your space. |
Well, I do understand. |
I have some more reasons — another purpose to my life — |
and I’m ready to take my own space — we both deserve it — something real. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever, |
Heaven’s too late, only heaven can wait. |
Slowly… |
Why do we stay together, we can’t wait forever. |
