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 
Got a taste of paradise 
that's all I really need to make me stay 
Just like a child again 
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 altars 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 
got a taste of paradise 
If I 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 
and I won't look back 
I won't look back 
Let the altars shine 
Heaven can wait 
Heaven can wait 
and I won't look back 
I won't look back 
Let the altars shine 
let the altars shine...
