Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish that heaven
Had visiting hours
So I could just show up
And bring the news
That she's getting older
And I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me
I got them all from you
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
So much has changed since you been away
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
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 till we meet again
So much has changed since you've been away
