[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
In horoscope, 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 (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, uh-uh
Only when love has ended can a heart be mended
Never's too late (Never's too late), only heaven can wait
[Outro]
Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever
Never's too late (Never's too late for love)
Only heaven can wait (Only heaven can wait for love), ooh
Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever
Never's too late (Never's too late for love)
Only heaven can wait (Only heaven can wait for love) (Oh)
Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever
Never's too late (Never's too late for love) (Too late, too late, too late, too late)
Only heaven can wait (Only heaven can wait for love) (Oh)
(Why do we stay together? We can't wait forever)
(Never's too late for love)
(Only heaven can wait for love) (All these tears)
(Why do we stay together?) (I can't for love, for love) (We can't wait forever) (For love)
(Never's too late for love) (For love)
(Only heaven can wait for love) (Ooh)
(Why, why do we stay together?) (Why, oh why) (We can't wait forever)
(Never's too late for love)
(Only heaven can wait for love)
(Love, love, love, love, love, love)
(Why, why do we stay together?) (Yeah) (We can't wait forever) (Yeah)
(Never's too late for love) (Mhm)
(Only heaven can wait for love) (Oh)
