Only Heaven Can Wait - Roberta Flack

We know that it's all over, still we haven't said goodbye

Pretending life is wonderful, pretending you and I

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, only heaven can wait

Waiting for love won't make it happen

Crying for love don't mean you care, oh no

Only when love has ended can a heart be mended

Never's too late, only heaven can wait for love

Heaven can wait for love

In horoscopes, in true romance and Playboy magazine

We lie in bed at night and search the pages for our dreams

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, only heaven can wait

And waiting for love won't make it happen

Crying for love don't mean you care, oh no

Only when love has ended can a heart be mended

Never's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, only heaven can wait

So we've been together too long, you and I, there were the children

Shared interests, creative interests, business interests

Our in-laws and then just plain old bad habit

Now things have changed, you've changed

I've changed, and it's time to move on

So, my sweet, you kept doubting that I would ever understand

What you meant when you said you needed your space

Well, I do understand, I have some more reasons

Another purpose to my life and I'm ready to take my own space

We both deserve it, something real

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, never

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, heaven can wait

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever

Never's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever
