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]
