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
Ek wens dat die hemel ure besoek het
So ek kon net opdaag en goeie nuus bring
Dat sy ouer word en ek wens dat jy haar ontmoet het
Die dinge wat sy van my sal leer, het ek hulle almal van jou gekry
[Koor]
Kan ek net 'n rukkie bly en ons sal die hele wêreld aan die regte plaas?
Die kleintjies sal groei en ek sal nog steeds jou gunsteling wyn drink
En binnekort gaan hulle sluit, maar ek sal jou nog 'n dag sien
Soveel het verander sedert jy weg was
[Vers 2]
Wel, ek wens dat die hemel ure besoek het
So ek kon net swaai en vra jou raad
Wat sal jy in my situasie doen?
Ek het nie 'n idee hoe ek hulle selfs sal oprig nie
Wat sal jy doen? Want jy doen altyd wat reg is
[Koor]
Kan ons net 'n rukkie praat totdat my bekommernisse verdwyn?
Ek sal jou vertel dat ek bang is om 'n mislukking uit te skakel
Jy sal sê, "Onthou dat die antwoord in die liefde wat ons skep"
Soveel het verander sedert jy weg was
[Vers 3]
Ek wens dat die hemel ure besoek het
En ek sal hulle vra of ek jou huis toe kan neem
Maar ek weet wat hulle sou sê, dit is vir die beste
So ek sal lewe leef soos jy my geleer het
En maak dit op my eie
[Koor]
En ek sal die deur sluit, maar ek sal my hart oopmaak
En almal wat ek liefhet, sal presies weet wie jy is
Want dit is nie totsiens nie, dit is net 'tot ons weer ontmoet
Soveel het verander sedert jy weg was
