[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
Heaven can wait
And all I got is time until the end of time
Well I won´t look back
I won´t look back
Let the altar shine
[Verse]
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
I got a taste of paradise
If I'd had it any sooner, you know
You know I never would have run away
From my home
[Chorus]
Heaven can wait
And all I got is time until the end of time
Well I won't look back, I won't look back
Let the altar shine
Heaven can wait
Woah, Heaven can wait
Well I won't look back, I won't look back
Let the altar shine
Let the altar shine
