Another flower petal picked up by the breeze 
Flying, hoping, soaring hungry for life
Dying without the stem of a body to keep 
Swearing love of a silent heartbeat never dies

If only heaven could wait a little longer
But the labor in your breathing says no
Pretending I'm stronger makes it harder
I don't wanna let you go, I don't 
I'll feel a little dead when you go home
Oh if heaven could wait a little longer
If heaven could wait a little longer

Another sunset sitting by your barred bed
Hoping, wishing, knowing you're slipping 
There's so much that I haven't said
Through you're broken smile I keep myself from crying 

If only heaven could wait a little longer
But the labor in your breathing says no
Pretending I'm stronger makes it harder
I don't wanna let you go, I don't 
I'll feel a little dead when you go home
Oh if heaven could wait a little longer
If heaven could wait a little longer

Another memory tugging my heart
Grabbing, holding, losing everything we shared
Watching life slip from your bones tears me apart
You're waiting to let go & it's too much to bare

If only heaven could wait a little longer
But the labor in your breathing says no

It's getting harder
I'm not ready to let you go

Oh if only, heaven could wait, a little longer

If only heaven could wait a little longer
But the labor in your breathing says no
Pretending I'm stronger makes it harder
I don't wanna let you go, I don't 
I'll feel a little dead when you go home
Oh if heaven could wait a little longer
If heaven could wait a little longer

I'll miss you
