Visiting Hours Lyrics

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

So I could just show up and bring good news

That she is getting older and I wish that you'd met her

The things that she will learn from me, I got them all from you

Can I just stay a while and we will put all the world to rights?

The little ones will grow and I will still drink your favourite wine

And soon, they are going to close, but I will see you another day

So much has changed since you have been away



Well, 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 is right



Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?

I'd tell you that I am 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 have been away



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 is for the best

So I would live life the way you taught me

And make it on my own



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 'til we meet again

So much has changed since you've been away.
