Visiting hours

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

 

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]

 

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

 

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]

 

[G] [Em7] [Cadd9] [Cadd9] [G] [Dsus4]

[G] [Em7] [Cadd9] [Cadd9] [G] [Dsus4]

 

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

 

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
