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
Ik winskje dat de himel oeren besocht hie
Dat ik koe gewoan sjen litte en goed nijs bringe
Dat se âlder wurdt en ik winskje dat jo har moete hawwe
De dingen dy't se fan my leare, ik krige se allegear fan jo
[Koar]
Kin ik gewoan efkes bliuwe en wy sille de heule wrâld nei rjochten pleatse?
De lytsen sille groeie en ik sil jo favorite wyn noch drinke
En gau sille se slute, mar ik sil dy in oare dei sjen
Safolle is feroare sûnt jo fuort binne
[VERSE 2]
No, ik winskje dat de himel oeren besocht hie
Dat ik koe gewoan trochgie en jo advys freegje
Wat soene jo dwaan yn myn situaasje?
Ik haw gjin oanwizing hoe't ik se sels ferheegje soe
Wat soesto dwaan? Want jo dogge altyd wat goed is
[Koar]
Kinne wy gewoan in skoft prate oant myn soargen ferdwine?
Ik soe jo fertelle dat ik bang bin om in mislearring te draaien
Jo soene sizze: "Tink derom dat it antwurd yn 'e leafde is dy't wy kreëarje"
Safolle is feroare sûnt jo fuort binne
[Verse 3]
Ik winskje dat de himel oeren besocht hie
En ik soe har freegje as ik dy thús koe nimme
Mar ik wit wat se sizze, dat it foar it bêste is
Dus ik soe it libben libje lykas jo my learden
En meitsje it op mysels
[Koar]
En ik sil de doar slute, mar ik sil myn hert iepenje
En elkenien dy't ik hâld sil wite krekt wa't jo binne
Want dit is net ôfskied, it is gewoan 'oant wy wer moetsje
Safolle is feroare sûnt jo fuort binne
