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   ...
