Ellen Foley - Heaven Can Wait lyrics

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
I got a taste of paradise
It's all I really need to make me stay
Just like a child again

Heaven can wait
All I got is time until the end of time
I won't look back i won't look back
Let the altar 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
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 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 altar shine let the altar shine
