12 Visiting Hours

[00:14.78] I wish that Heaven had visiting hours

[00:21.01] So I could just show up and bring the news

[00:27.63] That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her

[00:33.91] The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you

[00:41.10] Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?

[00:47.64] The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine

[00:53.89] And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day

[00:59.61] So much has changed since you've been away

[01:07.64] .

[01:12.66] I wish that Heaven had visiting hours

[01:18.65] So I could just swing by and ask your advice

[01:25.26] What would you do in my situation?

[01:28.35] I hadn't a clue how I'd even raise them

[01:31.62] What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right

[01:38.71] Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?

[01:45.16] I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure

[01:50.91] You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"

[01:57.37] So much has changed since you've been away

[02:06.16] .

[02:35.86] I wish that Heaven had visiting hours

[02:42.14] And I would ask them if I could take you home

[02:48.41] But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best

[02:54.89] So I will live life the way you taught me

[02:58.16] And make it on my own

[03:02.13] And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart

[03:08.39] And everyone I love will know exactly who you are

[03:14.81] 'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again

[03:20.42] So much has changed since you've been away
