I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring good 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
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring good 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]
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
[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've 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 would live life the way you taught me
And make it on my own
[Chorus]
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
Ngifisa ukuthi izulu livakashele amahora amaningi
Ngakho-ke ngivele ngibonise futhi ngilethe izindaba ezinhle
Ukuthi uyaguga futhi ngifisa ukuthi uhlangane naye
Izinto azofunda kimi, ngibathole bonke abavela kuwe
[Chorus]
Ngingahlala nje isikhashana futhi sizobeka umhlaba wonke amalungelo?
Abancane bazokhula futhi ngisazophuza iwayini lakho eliyintandokazi
Futhi kungekudala, bazovala, kepha ngizokubona ngolunye usuku
Okuningi kushintshile selokhu wahamba
[Ivesi 2]
Kahle, ngifisa ukuthi izulu livakashele amahora amaningi
Ngakho-ke ngikwazi ukujikisa nje ngibuze izeluleko zakho
Yini ongayenza esimweni sami?
Anginayo inkomba yokuthi ngingazikhulisa kanjani
Ungenzenjani? Ngoba uhlala wenza okulungile
[Chorus]
Singakwazi ukukhuluma nje isikhashana kuze kube yilapho ukukhathazeka kwami kunyamalale?
Ngingakutshela ukuthi ngesaba ukucisha ukwehluleka
Uzothi, "Khumbula ukuthi impendulo yothando esiludalayo"
Okuningi kushintshile selokhu wahamba
[Ivesi 3]
Ngifisa ukuthi izulu livakashele amahora amaningi
Futhi bengingababuza ukuthi ngingakuyisa ekhaya
Kepha ngiyazi ukuthi bathini, ukuthi kungcono kakhulu
Ngakho-ke ngiphile impilo ngendlela ongifundise ngayo
Futhi yenze ngokwami
[Chorus]
Futhi ngizovala umnyango, kepha ngizovula inhliziyo yami
Futhi wonke umuntu engiwuthandayo uzokwazi kahle ukuthi ungubani
Imbangela lokhu akukuhle, kungukuthi 'kuze kube yilapho sihlangana futhi
Okuningi kushintshile selokhu wahamba
