1
Quarter after seven, got a phone call
2
Telling me to get here quick
3
Said your girl is in a bad situation
4
They don't know if she's gonna make it
5
As I hurry to be by her side
6
I ask a thousand times, why oh why
7
There's no rhyme or reason in my life
8
With you lying here this way
9
I'd give anything just to trade places with you
10
So I'm begging heaven down on my knees
11
To help you make it through
12
[Chorus:]
13
Tell me can heaven wait
14
Can heaven wait just one more night
15
Tell me what it's gonna take
16
To keep you with me in my life
17
Giving up the shame of my other life
18
Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light
19
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
20
Can heaven wait one night
21
Thinking back on times that I've wasted
22
I should have cherished every day
23
All the different flavors that I tasted
24
Can't compare to you, no way
25
As I reminisce by your side
26
Tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes
27
All the things I did that weren't right
28
Wish I could apologize
29
I'd give anything if I could trade places with you
30
So I'm beggin' heaven down on my knees
31
To help you make it through
32
[Chorus:]
33
I'm gonna stop the world, reverse the time
34
Do whatever it takes to keep you alive
35
Heaven has to wait one more day
36
Baby, take my breath so you can breathe
37
I need you here so don't you leave
38
Heaven has to wait
39
[Chorus:]
