I can see the tears upon your face
No hiding place
And you're afraid that soon I will be gone
But time will still go on
You're searching for the answers you can't find
All in good time

What's the worst thing that can happen if they say my time is through?
Can they take away the love or the years I've shared with you?
What's the worst thing that can happen, what's the worst that they can do?

Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, I believe that it's true
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

I hear angels through the window pane
Calling my name
Someday when they carve my name in stone
I won't be, I won't be alone
If by chance a miracle appears
I'll dry your tears

What's the worst thing that can happen if they say my time is through?
Can they take away the love or the years I've shared with you?
What's the worst thing that can happen, what's the worst that they can do?

Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, I believe that it's true
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

What's the worst thing that can happen, what's the worst that they can do?

Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, I believe, I believe that it's true,
Threaten me with Heaven, ooh, I'll be waiting on you, yes I will

Threaten me with Heaven...
