Heaven Can Wait - Ellen Foley

10. Heaven Can Wait

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

Got a taste of paradise

that’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

nobody’s gonna tell me now

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

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

and I won’t look back

I won’t look back

Let the altars shine

Heaven can wait

Heaven can wait

and I won’t look back

I won’t look back

Let the altars shine

let the altars shine…
