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
Jeg ønsker, at himlen havde besøgt timer
Så jeg kunne bare dukke op og bringe gode nyheder
At hun bliver ældre, og jeg ønsker at du havde mødt hende
De ting, hun vil lære af mig, fik jeg dem alle fra dig
[Kor]
Kan jeg bare blive et stykke tid, og vi sætter hele verden til rettigheder?
De små vil vokse, og jeg vil stadig drikke din yndlingsvin
Og snart kommer de til at lukke, men jeg vil se dig en anden dag
Så meget er ændret, da du har været væk
[Vers 2]
Nå, jeg ønsker, at himlen havde besøgt timer
Så jeg kunne bare svinge forbi og spørge dit råd
Hvad ville du gøre i min situation?
Jeg har ikke en anelse om, hvordan jeg endda ville hæve dem
Hvad ville du gøre? Fordi du altid gør hvad der er rigtigt
[Kor]
Kan vi bare tale et stykke tid, indtil mine bekymringer forsvinder?
Jeg vil fortælle dig, at jeg er bange for at vise en fejl
Du vil sige, "Husk at svaret er i den kærlighed, vi skaber"
Så meget er ændret, da du har været væk
[Vers 3]
Jeg ønsker, at himlen havde besøgt timer
Og jeg vil bede dem om jeg kunne tage dig hjem
Men jeg ved, hvad de ville sige, at det er for det bedste
Så jeg ville leve livet som du lærte mig
Og gør det alene
[Kor]
Og jeg lukker døren, men jeg vil åbne mit hjerte
Og alle, jeg elsker, vil vide præcis, hvem du er
Fordi dette ikke er farvel, det er bare 'til vi mødes igen
Så meget er ændret, da du har været væk
