Visiting Hours

So I could just show up and bring the news

That she’s getting older

I wish that you’d met her

‘The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you

Can I just stay a while and we’ll put all the world to rights

The little ones will grow, and I'll still drink your favourite wine

Soon they’re going to close but il see you another day

So much has changed since you’ve been away

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

So I could just swing by and ask your advice

What would you do in my situation

I haven’t a clue how I’d even raise them

What would you do?

‘Cause you always do what’s right

Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear

And I’d tell you that I’m scared of turning out a Failure

You’d say “Remember that the answer’s in the love that we create”

So much has changed since you’ve been away

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

And I would ask them if I could take you home

But I know what they’d say. \"It’s for the best.\"

So I will live life the way you taught me

And make it on my own

And I will close the door but I will open up my heart

And everyone I love will know exactly who you are

‘Cause this is not goodbye, it is just until we meet again

So much has changed since you’ve been away
