Heaven Can Wait

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 the Angel of Death has come for me
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

Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day

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 lights eternal rays
I see a tunnel I stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of me
Into the paths of lightness I�ll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare

Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day

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

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
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?

Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day
