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
Tha mi a 'guidhe gum biodh nèamh a' tadhal air uairean
Mar sin b 'urrainn dhomh dìreach a bhith a' nochdadh agus a 'toirt deagh naidheachd
Gu bheil i a 'fàs nas sine agus tha mi a' guidhe gun do choinnich tu rithe
Na rudan a dh 'ionnsaicheas i bhuamsa, fhuair mi iad uile bhuat
[Sèist]
An urrainn dhomh dìreach fuireach greis agus cuiridh sinn an saoghal gu lèir do chòraichean?
Bidh an fheadhainn bheaga fhàs agus bidh mi fhathast ag òl am fìon as fheàrr leat fhathast
Agus a dh 'aithghearr, tha iad a' dol a dhùin, ach chì mi latha eile dhut
Tha uimhir air atharrachadh bho tha thu air a bhith air falbh
[Rann 2]
Uill, tha mi a 'guidhe gum biodh nèamh a' tadhal air uairean
Mar sin cha b 'urrainn dhomh dìreach a bhith a' swing le agus faighnich do chomhairle
Dè a dhèanadh tu nam shuidheachadh?
Chan eil boillsgeadh agam ciamar a thogas mi eadhon iad
Dè dhèanadh tu? 'Ag adhbhrachadh gun dèan thu an-còmhnaidh na tha ceart
[Sèist]
An urrainn dhuinn dìreach bruidhinn fhad 's a bhios na draghan agam a' dol à sealladh?
Dh 'innis mi dhut gu bheil eagal orm a bhith a' tionndadh a-mach fàiligeadh a-mach
Dh 'iarradh tu, "Cuimhnich gur e am freagairt anns a' ghaol a chruthaicheas sinn"
Tha uimhir air atharrachadh bho tha thu air a bhith air falbh
[Rann 3]
Tha mi a 'guidhe gum biodh nèamh a' tadhal air uairean
Agus dh 'fhaighnicheadh mi iad nam b' urrainn dhomh do thoirt dhachaigh
Ach tha fios agam dè a chanas dhaibh, gu bheil e airson a 'chuid as fheàrr
Mar sin bhiodh mi a 'fuireach beatha mar a theagaisg thu dhomh
Agus dèan e leam fhìn
[Sèist]
Agus dhùin mi an doras, ach fosglaidh mi suas mo chridhe
Agus bidh a h-uile duine a tha dèidheil air fios gu bheil thu
Adhbhar nach e beannachd a th 'ann an seo, tha e dìreach' gus an coinnich sinn a-rithist
Tha uimhir air atharrachadh bho tha thu air a bhith air falbh
