[Verse 1]
Can't understand what is happening to me
This isn't real; this is only a dream
But I never have felt
No, I never have felt this way before
I'm looking down on my body below
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Is it now could it be that the Angel of Death
Has come for me?

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe that, really, my time has come
I don't feel ready; there's so much left undone
And it's my soul, and I'm not gonna let it get away

[Chorus]
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day

[Verse 2]
I have a lust for the Earth below
And hell itself is my only foe
'Cause I've no fear of dying
I'll go when I'm good and ready
I snatch a glimpse of the light's eternal rays
I see a tunnel, I stand amazed
At all of the people
Standing there in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Into the paths of rightness, I'll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead?
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare

[Chorus]
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Take my hand, I'll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand, I'll give you immortality
Eternal youth, I'll take you to the other side
To see the truth, the path for you is decided
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
My body tingles, I feel so strange
I feel so tired, I feel so drained
And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again
Is this in limbo or heaven or hell?
Maybe I'm going down there as well
I can't accept my soul will drift forever

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel myself floating back down to Earth
So, could this be the hour of my rebirth?
Or have I died, or will I wake from dreaming?

[Chorus]
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day

[Outro]
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait till another day
