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

(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

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's right

(Can) we just talk a while until my

worries disappear?

I'd tell you that I'm scared of

turning out a failure

He'd say, "Remember that the answer's

in the love that we create"

So much has changed since you've 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's

for the best

So I would live life the way you

taught me

And make it on my own

D                                 A

And I will close the door, but I will

open up my heart

D                           A

E

And everyone I love will know exactly

who you are

F#m             C#7              A

'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just

'til we meet again

A                    E         A   D

A

So much has changed since you've been

away
