Can Heaven Wait Luther Vandross

[Verse 1]
Quarter after seven, got a phone call
Telling me to get here quick
Said your girl is in a bad situation
They don't know if she's gonna make it
As I hurry to be by her side
I ask a thousand times, "why, oh why?"
There's no rhyme or reason in my life
With you lying here this way

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd give anything just to trade places with you
So I'm begging heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through

[Chorus]
Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait just one more night?
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life
Giving up the shame of my other life
Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night?

[Verse 2]
Thinking back on times that I've wasted
I should have cherished every day
All the different flavors that I tasted
Can't compare to you, no way
As I reminisce by your side
Tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes
All the things I did that weren't right
Wish I could apologize
