Can Heaven Wait Lyrics - Luther Vandross - Luther Vandross

Quarter after seven, got a phone call 

Telling 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 lying here this way 

I'd give anything just to trade places with you 

So I'm begging heaven down on my knees 

To help you make it through 

Tell me, can heaven wait 

Can heaven wait just one more night 

Tell me what it's gonna take 

To keep you with me in my life

Giving up the shame of my other life 

Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light 

Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right 

Can heaven wait one night 

Thinking 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 streaming 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

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 has to wait 

Tell me, can heaven wait 

Can heaven wait just one more night 

Tell me what it's gonna take
