my new favourite song

Heaven can wait
And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart
Will take me through the lonely night
Through the cold
Of the grave
And I know, I know
Heaven can wait
And all the gods come down here just to sing for me
And the melody’s gonna make me fly
Without wings, without feelings
Gimme all of your dreams
And let me go alone on my way
Gimme all of your prayers to sing
And I’ll turn the night into the sky
I’ve got a taste of paradise
I’m never gonna let it slip away
I’ve got a taste of paradise
That’s all I really need to make me stay
Just like a child again
Heaven can wait
And all I’ve got is time to give you
Until the end of time
And I won’t look back, I won’t look back
Let the altar shine
And I know that I’ve been released but I
Don’t know to where
Nobody’s gonna tell me now
And I don’t really care
No, no, no, I’ve got a taste of paradise
That’s all I really need to make me stay
I got a taste of paradise
If I had it any sooner, you know
You know, I never would have run away
From my home
Heaven can wait
And all I got is time until the end of time
Oh, I won’t look back, I won’t look back
Let the altar shine
Heaven can wait
Oh, heaven can wait
Well, I won’t look back, I won’t look back
Let the altar shine
Let the altar
Shine

i sigh.

so sad.

he was writing about his lost wife

and he wants to go to heaven to be with her

but the angels tell him that he can wait, that heaven can wait

and he just sings his heart out...

and the piano solo is beautiful. it's heart-wrenching.

listen.
