Verse 1
I wish that [G] heaven
Had visiting [Em7] hours
So I could just [Cadd9] show up
And [Cadd9] bring [G] good [Dsus4] news
That she's getting [G] older
I wish that you'd [Em7] met her
The things that she'll [Cadd9] learn from me
I got them [Cadd9] all [G] from [Dsus4] you
Chorus
Can [Cadd9] we just talk a while
and we'll [G] put all the world to [Dsus4] rights?
The [Cadd9] little ones will grow and I'll
still [G] drink your favourite [Dsus4] wine
And [Em] soon, they're going to [Emmaj7/Eb] close,
but I'll see [Em7/D] you another [Em6/Db] day
So much has [G] changed since you've [Dsus4] been [G] away [Cadd9] [G]
Verse 2
Well, I wish that [G] heaven
Had visiting [Em7] hours
So I could just [Cadd9] swing by
And ask [Cadd9] your [G] advice [Dsus4]
What would you [G] do in my situation?
I haven't a [Em7] clue how I'd even raise them
What would you [Cadd9] do?
'Cause you always [Cadd9] do [G] what's [Dsus4] right
Chorus
Can [Cadd9] we just talk a while until my [G] worries [Dsus4] disappear?
I'd [Cadd9] tell you that
I'm scared of turning [G] out a [Dsus4] failure
He'd say, [Em] "Remember that the [Emmaj7/Eb]
answer's in the [Em7/D] love that we [Em6/Db] create"
So much has [G] changed since you've [Dsus4] been [G] away [Cadd9] [G]
Interlude
[G] [Em7] [Cadd9] [Cadd9] [G] [Dsus4]
[G] [Em7] [Cadd9] [Cadd9] [G] [Dsus4]
Verse 3
I wish that [G] heaven
Had visiting [Em7] hours
And I would [Cadd9] ask them
If I could [Cadd9] take [G] you [Dsus4] home
But I know what they'd [G] say
That it's for the [Em7] best
So I would live [Cadd9] life the way you told me
And make it [Cadd9] on [G] my [Dsus4] own
Chorus
And [Cadd9] I will close the door,
but I will [G] open up my [Dsus4] heart
And [Cadd9] everyone I love will know e[G] xactly who you [Dsus4] are
'Cause [Em] this is not [Emmaj7/Eb] goodbye, it
is just '[Em7/D] til we meet [Em6/Db] again
So much has [G] changed since you've [Dsus4] been [G] away [Cadd9] G
