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
Can we just talk 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
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
Can we just talk a while
Until my worries disappear?
I`d tell you that I`m scared of
Turning out a failure
He`d say Remember that the answer`s
In the love that we create
So much has changed since
You`ve 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 would live life the way you told 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 `til we meet again
So much has changed
Since you`ve been away
