Heaven can wait   And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart   Will take me through the lonely night   Through the cold of the day   And I know   I know   Heaven can wait   And all the gods come down here just to sing for me   And the melody's gonna make me fly   Without pain   Without fear   Give me all of your dreams   And let me go along on your way   Give me all of your prayers to sing   And i'll turn the night into the skylight of day   I got a taste of paradise   I'm never gonna let it slip away   I got a taste of paradise   It's all I really need to make me stay --   Just like a child again   Heaven can wait   And all I got is time until the end of time   I won't look back   I won't look back   Let the altars shine   And I know that I've been released   But I don't know to where   And nobody's gonna tell me know   And I don't really care   No no no   I got a taste of paradise   That's all i really need to make me stay   I got a taste of paradise   If I had it any sooner you know   You know I never would have run away from my home   Heaven can wait   And all I got is time until the end of time   I won't look back   I won't look back   Let the altars shine   Heaven can wait   Heaven can wait   I won't look back   I won't look back   Let the altars shine   Let the altars shine
