  • Heaven can wait
    And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart
    Will take me through the lonely night
    Through the cold of the day
    And I know
    I know
    Heaven can wait
    And all the gods come down here just to sing for me
    And the melody's gonna make me fly
    Without pain
    Without fear
    Give me all of your dreams
    And let me go along on your way
    Give me all of your prayers to sing
    And I'll turn the night into the skylight of day
    I got a taste of paradise
    I'm never gonna let it slip away
    I got a taste of paradise
    It's all I really need to make me stay
    Just like a child again

    Heaven can wait
    And all I got is time until the end of time
    I won't look back
    I won't look back
    Let the altars shine

    And I know that I've been released
    But I don't know to where
    And nobody's gonna tell me know
    And I don't really care
    No no no
    I got a taste of paradise
    That's all I really need to make me stay
    I got a taste of paradise
    If I had it any sooner you know
    You know I never would have run away from my home

    Heaven can wait
    And all I got is time until the end of time
    I won't look back
    I won't look back
    Let the altars shine

    Heaven can wait
    Heaven can wait
    I won't look back
    I won't look back
    Let the altars shine
    Let the altars shine Writer/s: Jim Steinman
