Can Heaven Wait - Luther Vandross
Quarter after seven
got a phone call
Telling me to get here quick
Said your girl is
in a bad situation
They don't know
if she's gonna make it
As I hurry to be by her side
I ask a thousand times
why oh why
There's no rhyme or reason
in my life
With you lying here this way
I'd give anything just
to trade places with you
So I'm begging heaven down
on my knees
To help you make it through
Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait
just one more night
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life
Giving up the shame
of my other life
Now I'm seeing things
in a whole new light
Lord I vow to change
if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night

Thinking back on times
that I've wasted
I should have cherished every day
All the different flavors
that I tasted
Can't compare to you no way
As I reminisce by your side
Tears of guilt are streaming
from my eyes
All the things
I did that weren't right
Wish I could apologize
I'd give anything
if I could trade places with you
So I'm beggin' heaven down
on my knees
To help you make it through
Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait
just one more night
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life
Giving up the shame
of my other life
Now I'm seeing things
in a whole new light
Lord I vow to change
if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night

I'm gonna stop the world
reverse the time
Do whatever it takes
to keep you alive
Heaven has to wait one more day
Baby take my breath
so you can breathe
I need you here so don't you leave
Heaven has to wait
Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait
just one more night
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life
Giving up the shame
of my other life
Now I'm seeing things
in a whole new light
Lord I vow to change
if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night
Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait
just one more night
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life
Giving up the shame
of my other life
Now I'm seeing things
in a whole new light
Lord I vow to change
if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night
Can heaven wait one night
Can heaven wait one night
Can heaven wait one night
Can heaven wait one night
Can heaven wait one night
Can heaven wait one night
