Visiting Hours lyrics

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

So I could just show up and bring the 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

Can I 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 been away

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

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 in the love that we create

So much has changed since you been away

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 will live life the way you taught me

And make it on my own

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 till we meet again

So much has changed since you been away
