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
Napenda kwamba mbingu ilikuwa na kutembelea masaa
Hivyo ningeweza tu kuonyesha na kuleta habari njema
Kwamba yeye ni wakubwa na napenda kwamba ungekutana naye
Mambo ambayo atajifunza kutoka kwangu, nimewapata wote kutoka kwako
[Chorus]
Je, ninaweza tu kukaa wakati na tutaweka ulimwengu wote kwa haki?
Watoto wadogo watakua na bado nitakunywa divai yako favorite
Na hivi karibuni, watafunga, lakini nitakuona siku nyingine
Sana imebadilika tangu umekuwa mbali.
[Mstari wa 2]
Naam, napenda kwamba mbingu ilikuwa na kutembelea masaa
Kwa hiyo ningeweza tu kugeuka na kuuliza ushauri wako
Ungefanya nini katika hali yangu?
Sina kidokezo jinsi ningependa kuwainua
Ungefanya nini? 'Sababu daima unafanya haki
[Chorus]
Je! Tunaweza tu kuzungumza wakati mpaka wasiwasi wangu kutoweka?
Ningependa kukuambia kwamba nina hofu ya kugeuka kushindwa
Ungependa kusema, "Kumbuka kwamba jibu la upendo tunalounda"
Sana imebadilika tangu umekuwa mbali.
[Mstari wa 3]
Napenda kwamba mbingu ilikuwa na kutembelea masaa
Na ningewauliza kama ningeweza kukupeleka nyumbani
Lakini najua nini wangeweza kusema, kwamba ni kwa bora
Kwa hiyo napenda kuishi maisha kwa njia uliyonifundisha
Na uifanye mwenyewe
[Chorus]
Nami nitaifunga mlango, lakini nitafungua moyo wangu
Na kila mtu ninayempenda atajua hasa wewe ni nani
Sababu hii sio yaheri, ni tu tu tunakutana tena
Sana imebadilika tangu umekuwa mbali.
