Angels Can Wait
You know your mom’s been coming to see you
And you should know every day I’m here too
My people been saying I’m gonna go broke taking off so many hours
Running to the store to get you flowers
Those roses by the windowsill, firm and colorful
White, yellow, red all just as beautiful
I heard your roomie had a baby
Also heard she went home yesterday
Man I wish it was you
Your old man…is having a hard time on what to do
Hasn’t been easy on me
Not too much in this world aside from you makes me happy
A buried treasure, I’m glad I found
Who knows what and where I would have been had you not come around
Before I knew it you taught me what love is
I hope you hearing me when I say this
Every king has a queen, baby you were it
I use to dream of paradise but when you came along my world became perfect
You are what the world needed
A hero you are to me and heroes shouldn’t be sleeping
If you’re so tired come home with me away from the machines
Let’s sneak out like what we used to do when we were teens
We don’t even have to leave this building just let me see your eyes
Hear your voice and feel your embrace cradle my cries
You don’t know, oh you just don’t know what I would give
To hear you tell those doctors “I’m not going to die” when they said you wouldn’t live
That alone would put my mind at ease
My doubts aside and my heart at peace
Because I know that you’re a fighter
Admittedly you’re a master survivor
I don’t want to guilt you, but how could I live without you here?
You are my angel and I feel that it’s not your time, not this day; not this year
I know that you’re hurting but, baby stay with me, baby please be patient
Don’t you know that the angels can wait; I promise they can wait for a moment…
