Quarter after seven, got a phone call 
Telling me to get here quick 
Said your girl is in a bad situation 
They don't know if she's gonna make it 
 
As I hurry to be by her side 
I ask a thousand times, why oh why 
There's no rhyme or reason in my life  
With you lying here this way 
 
I'd give anything just to trade places with you 
So I'm begging heaven down on my knees 
To help you make it through 
 
[1] - Tell me can heaven wait 
Can heaven wait just one more night 
Tell me what it's gonna take  
To keep you with me in my life 
 
Giving up the shame of my other life 
Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light 
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right 
Can heaven wait one night 
 
Thinking back on times that I've wasted 
I should have cherished every day 
All the different flavors that I tasted 
Can't compare to you, no way 
 
As I reminisce by your side 
Tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes 
All the things I did that weren't right 
Wish I could apologize 
 
I'd give anything if I could trade places with you 
So I'm beggin' heaven down on my knees 
To help you make it through 
 
[Repeat 1] 
 
I'm gonna stop the world, reverse the time 
Do whatever it takes to keep you alive 
Heaven has to wait one more day 
 
Baby, take my breath so you can breathe 
I need you here so don't you leave 
Heaven has to wait 
 
[Repeat 1 until fade]
