[Verse 1]
I can see the tears upon your face
There's no hiding place
You're afraid that soon I will be gone
Time will still move on
You're searching for the answers you can't find
They will come in time

[Chorus]
What's the worst thing that could happen
If they say my time is through
Would it take away the love
Or the years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that could happen
What's the worst that they could do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do

[Verse 2]
I hear angels through a window pain
Calling out my name
And someday when they carve that name in stone
I won't be alone
But if by chance a miracle appears
I will dry your tears
[Chorus]
What's the worst thing that could happen
If they say my time is through
Would it take away the love
Or the years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that could happen
What's the worst that they could do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

[Instrumental Break]

And if by chance a miracle appears
I will dry your tears

[Chorus]
What's the worst thing that could happen
If they say my time is through
Would it take away the love
Or the years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that could happen
What's the worst that they could do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, mmm-mmm
Threaten me with Heaven
I'll be waiting on you
[Outro]
Yeah, I'll be waiting on you
Mmmm, I'll be waiting on you
Mmm-hmmm
