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
Heaven'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 dream

Why do we stay together, we can't wait forever
Heaven'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 ho
Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended
Ever's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can't wait forever
Heaven's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can't wait forever
Heaven's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can't wait forever
Heaven's too late, only heaven can wait

Why do we stay together, we can't wait forever
Never's too late for love, only heaven can wait for love

Why do we stay together, we can't wait forever
Never's too late for love, only heaven can wait for love

Why do we stay together, we can't wait forever
Never's too late for love, only heaven can wait for love
