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
Maniry aho fa nitsidika ora maro ny lanitra
Ka afaka nanatrika sy nitondra vaovao tsara aho
Fa mihalehibe izy ary maniry ny hihaona aminy
Ny zavatra hianariny avy amiko, azoko avy aminao daholo izy ireo
[Chorus]
Azoko atao ve ny mijanona mandritra ny fotoana kelikely ary hataontsika zo ny zon'olombelona rehetra?
Hitombo ireo ankizy kely ary mbola hisotro divay tiako indrindra ianao
Ary tsy ho ela dia hikatona izy ireo, fa hahita anao andro hafa aho
Niova be tokoa ny niovanao hatrizay
[Andininy 2]
Eny, tiako raha nitsidika ora maro ny lanitra
Ka afaka nanidina fotsiny aho ary nanontany ny torohevitrao
Inona no hataonao amin'ny toe-javatra misy ahy?
Tsy manana fanamarihana aho hoe ahoana ny fomba hananganako azy ireo aza
Inona no hataonao? 'Satria ataonao foana izay tsara
[Chorus]
Afaka miresaka vetivety ve isika mandra-pahafaty ny ahiahako?
Holazaiko aminao fa matahotra aho ny hamadika ny tsy fahombiazana
Hoy ianao hoe: "Tsarovy fa ny valiny amin'ny fitiavana izay noforonintsika"
Niova be tokoa ny niovanao hatrizay
[Andininy 3]
Maniry aho fa nitsidika ora maro ny lanitra
Ary manontany azy ireo aho raha afaka maka anao any an-trano
Fa fantatro izay lazain'izy ireo fa natao ho an'ny tsara indrindra
Ka hiaina fiainana ny fomba nampianarinao ahy
Ary ataovy samirery
[Chorus]
Ary hokarakaraiko ny varavarana, fa hanokatra ny foko aho
Ary izay rehetra tiako dia hahafantatra tsara hoe iza ianao
Mahatonga izany fa tsy veloma, dia 'til fotsiny isika
Niova be tokoa ny niovanao hatrizay
