I can see the tears upon your face
There's no hiding place
You're afraid that soon I will be gone
Time will still go on
You're searching for the answers you can't find
They will come in time

What's the worst thing that can happen if they say my time is through?
Would 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 if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do

I hear angels through the windowpane
Calling out my name
And someday when they carve that name in stone
I won't be alone
But if by chance a miracle appears
I will dry your tears

What's the worst thing that can happen if they say my time is through?
Would 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 if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

And if by chance a miracle appears
I will dry your tears

What's the worst thing that can happen if they say my time is through?
Would 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 could do?

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

Yeah, I'll be waiting on you
Mmm, I'll be waiting on you, mmm
