Uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah

Quarter after seven got a phone call
Tellin’ 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 lyin’ here this way

I’d give anything
Just to trade places with you
So I’m beggin’ heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through

Tell me heaven can wait
Can heaven wait just one more night
Tell me what it’s gonna take
To keep you with me in my life

Givin’ up the shame of my other life
Now I’m seein’ things in a whole new light
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night (Yeah...yeah...eah...eah...)

Thinkin’ 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 streamin’ 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 heaven can wait
Can heaven wait just one more night
Tell me what it’s gonna take
To keep you with me in my life (My life)

Givin’ up the shame of my other life
Now I’m seein’ things in a whole new light
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night (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 (Heaven) has to wait (Oh)

Tell me heaven can wait (Ooh...hoo...)
Can heaven wait just one more night (Heaven’s got to wait)
Tell me what it’s gonna take
To keep you with me in my life (In my life)

Givin’ up the shame of my other life (Oh...oh...oh...oh...)
Now I’m seein’ things in a whole new light (Ooh...oh...oh...)
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night

Tell me heaven can wait
Can heaven wait just one more night (Can it, baby)
Tell me what it’s gonna take
To keep you with me in my life

I’m givin’ up the shame of my other life
Now I’m seein’ things in a whole new light
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night (I wanna know can)

Can heaven wait one night
(Tell me if you know, tell me if you know, tell me if you know, yeah)
Can heaven wait one night
(Tell me if you know, tell me if you know, tell me if you know, yeah)

Can heaven wait one night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can heaven wait one night
(Yeah...can heaven wait)

Can heaven wait one night
(Can it wait, can it wait, oh, yeah...yeah...yeah...)
Can heaven wait one night
(Can it wait, can it wait)
