Heaven can wait
              C                 G          C
And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart
             Em          D      C
Will take me through the lonely night

And I'll turn the night into the skylight of day

I got a taste of paradise

Just like a child again

Heaven can wait

And all I got is time until the end of time

Let the altars shine
