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 itAs 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 wayI'd give anything just to trade places with you
So I'm begging heaven down on my knees
To help you make it throughTell 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 lifeGiving 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 nightThinking 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 wayAs 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 apologizeI'd give anything if I could trade places with you
So I'm beggin' heaven down on my knees
To help you make it throughTell 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 lifeI'm gonna stop the world, reverse the time
Do whatever it takes to keep you alive
Heaven has to wait one more dayBaby, take my breath so you can breathe
I need you here so don't you leave
Heaven has to waitTell 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 lifeTell 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
