Can Heaven Wait

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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
