Visiting Hours

I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
 So I could just show up and bring the news
 That she's gettin' 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 just 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've 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 turnin' out a failure
 You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
 So much has changed since you've 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 'til we meet again
 So much has changed since you've been away
