Ed wrote and dedicated this song to his friend and mentor Micheal Gundinski who unexpectedly died in March, a legendary Australian record label founder and music producer, Ed always said he was like a father figure to him. He performed at Michael's state funeral in Melbourne and afterward wrote this song. A beautiful song and tribute to his friend.
Thank you Emma. I read through all the comments because I knew this song was special and had deep roots. I also knew someone would take me there. Thanks again. I love the song but it makes me cry...
It was an absolute honour to see Ed perform this song for Michael for the first time at Michael’s state memorial. Not a dry eye in that arena. A beautiful song, and what a beautiful relationship they had. Both legends of the industry.
They asked Ernest Hemingway once if he can write a whole story with only one phrase and he did it. In my eyes, the same just happened with Ed and the line "I wish that heaven had visiting hours." Literally one sentence but it packs so much emotion and expresses such a universal sentiment. What a brilliant songwriter.
I think Ant Clemons wrote the initial idea for the song. I don't know if that line specifically but anyway, it's worth saying it and remembering how sometimes many people contribute to the songwriting process
Listening to this song felt like listening to Supermarket Flowers for the first time. Tears just fall involuntarily. It breaks your heart, but at the same time it feels like a warm comforting hug.
"“I wish that heaven had visiting hours" Never thought I needed this line until this song. Yes, I wish I can visit my mom and dad in heaven during visiting hours. I wish they met my little boy. Thank you Ed for this song.
This is one of those "ugly cry" songs, where you remember someone you loved who has died, whom you wish you could talk to again. Another amazing song by Ed, expressing (and evoking) such deep feelings.
"Visiting Hours" lyrics I wish that heaven had visiting hours So I could just show up and bring the news That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you Can I stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights? The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine And soon they're going to close but I'll see you another day So much has changed since you been away I wish that heaven had visiting hours So I could just swing by and ask your advice What would you do in my situation? I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear? I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure You'd say remember that the answer in the love that we create So much has changed since you been away I wish that heaven had visiting hours And I would ask them if I could take you home But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best So I will live life the way you taught me And make it on my own And I will close the door but I will open up my heart And everyone I love will know exactly who you are 'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just till we meet again So much has changed since you been away
I just lost my sister 2 weeks ago, I miss her so much it hurts. She passed on the same day our father died 3 years ago, even the same hospital. I truly believe my father was there to meet her on the other side.
Lyrics- [Verse 1] I wish that heaven had visiting hours So I could just show up and bring good news That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you [Chorus] Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights? The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day So much has changed since you've been away [Verse 2] Well, I wish that heaven had visiting hours So I could just swing by and ask your advice What would you do in my situation? I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right [Chorus] Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear? I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create" So much has changed since you've been away [Verse 3] I wish that heaven had visiting hours And I would ask them if I could take you home But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best So I would live life the way you taught me And make it on my own [Chorus] And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart And everyone I love will know exactly who you are 'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again So much has changed since you've been away
Man if heaven had visiting hours it would really be cool, I lost my dad when I was 11, I'd do anything to see him just one more time and see him face to face and just talk,hug him and tell him how much I miss him
I don't personally know anyone who has passed, but this makes me feel for everyone that has. The emotion in Ed's voice is insane and it really translates through the song
I lost my Dad earlier this year. Oh my, this song. Ed’s voice. Ed’s melodies. Ed’s words. They all just reached in and tapped into so much that I think and feel right now. Thank you Ed, you are a special human being and your talent is so rare. You just manage to make connections with so many people at such deep levels, time and time again. I miss you so much Dad and will love you forever and how I wish that heaven had visiting hours… 😢💔
My dad died 2 years ago 😢I am still waiting that he will come back again😢😢missing him every day and I would give everything for a visiting hour in heaven....

I watched Ed sang this during the tribute, truly heartfelt. This song will definitely be memorable for those we also remember. Thank you for sharing the lyrics.
I came here just to chill and just listen. I didn't expected to start shedding tears and remembering my grandmother that passed away from alzheimer's this year. thankyou Ed
I work in a memory care unit. They call dementia the long good bye. I am so sorry for your loss and I know the grief will ease but the pain will always help you remember who they where.

I've been a silent fan of him for like years now and I just can't take it anymore. My heart's gonna burst if I don't say this. “Ed Sheeran? YOU TOTALLY MAKES MY LIFE BETTER THAN EVER!” Thank youuu
My sister passed away from delta covid last 2 weeks ago and we buried her 3 days ago and this song hits the thoughts of many who suffer from the illness but who are left behind. I saw u in concert at Minute Maid during the divide tour and you are a blessed songwriter.
Ed Sheeran your songs have gotten me through years of cancer treatment until the passing of my husband. I wish I could meet you and give you a big hug. Thank you for your art and talent to heal grief. I would so like to hug you and thank you so much! My husband was proud and such a gentleman. He worked for the Federal Reserve Bank J10 in Kansas City, Mo. he was a spectacular man that everyone loved. Cancer took his life 3-1/2 months ago. Your music got us through treatments, surgeries, hospitalizations. You are amazing. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
My auntie passed away a week ago. She practically raised me and was only 44 and it's my first time ever really experiencing grief like this. To have my favourite singer release a song like this right now... it means so much. Thank you Ed.
I wish my sister could understand these lyrics, I think she'd relate a lot, she's never missed her mother more as when her own children were born. It's an absolutely incredible song.
@@KeepingupwithDaina I’m so sorry, you are brave for sharing that. It will take time, but I pray your heart will heal. You will always feel her love for you❤️
@@esmee6308 sometimes people cope by ignoring their feelings. Songs like this are great for acknowledging such repressed emotions. I wish you both find a healthy way of coping with your loss. 💕💕
@@basicallybeya4076 I know that feeling all too well, sometimes a song hits like a truck and you've got no idea why. Ed songs tend to be really good at plucking at my heartstrings. We're both coping well with the loss of a parent, just in certain life moments it comes back pretty hard and in my sister's case becoming a mother, really makes her miss her own. It's a gap no-one can really fill, I'm happy she has a very lovely mother in law that lives nearby.
My partner died on July 30th. A couple weeks later, I saw a notification that Ed Sheeran had a new song and listened immediately, having zero idea what the song was about. As soon as I heard the first line I was in tears. It felt like a message from the universe at the moment I needed it most. Since, I’ve listened more times than I can count - it’s been a light in my darkest moments, and there have been many. “I will close the door but I will open up my heart, and everyone I love will know exactly who you are.” Thank you Ed for this beautiful song, and thank you Levi for your beautiful soul. Until we meet again 💕
Sobbing as I listen to this. Makes me miss all the people I wish were still here (my grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, and many others) who were all gone too soon.
It's your own feeling, he just managed to trigger it with his own. Ed is one of the few that can translate feelings into music that everyone understands.
My father passed in 2019 too. I keep thinking about how I won't have him to dance with me at my wedding. How he won't see his first grand child when I have children, and so many other firsts. I miss watching movies with him when I would visit, and how we would get about a new action film, and the dinners together how he would laugh at me chewing on my steak bone, and other memories like that.
Mine also passed away early 2019. We didn't have the closest relationship, he had a lot of issues that made it hard for him to keep in touch with me and my siblings. But there's so much I wish he would've been there to see. At least he got the chance to meet my niece, his first grandchild. But my nephews never got to meet him, neither will any future kids of mine or my siblings'
Tears keep rolling on my cheeks while I wish I can visit my baby mama and tell her how our sweet daughter has grown up and looks exactly like her. Continue resting in peace Rii

My dad died in 2003, 9 days before my 21st birthday. It was the hardest day of my life. Almost 21 years later, im a father to 2 beautiful girls. I would give everything for heaven have visiting hours so he could meet his grandchildren
I lost my grandma too. It's been four years and it is still very painful. She was the best. I am crying so hard. I feel you. Hope our grandmothers are doing great in heaven 💙✨ Ed, thanks ❤️🙌
Hi Sam!!! How are you doing? Been a fan for a while love your work, Ed's inspiration is clearly seen but you've done so much from the bases you've built on I don't know if it means anything from a total random but I'm really proud of the artist you're becoming and I'm glad I know your music! Keep it up!!
To anyone reading this, since there are so many in the comments, I’m so sorry for your loss, especially for those who were gone far too soon before their time. To lose a loved one creates a void in your heart and soul that unfortunately never mends or closes and is something we have to live with until it’s our time to hopefully see them again. ❤️
It’s been 41 years tomorrow since my mother died. How did Ed know how I felt? I raised 2 daughters and now have a grandson and 2 granddaughters. Indeed, so much has changed since she’s been away. 😢
Hello beautiful, how are you doing? This is one of my favorite songs. I could listen to it over and over again, I'm glad you liked it. You have a high taste of good music.💘🌹🎄🎅🌷💐⚘🎁🎂🍪🍷
Just like most comments, made me cry every time I hear it. My wife passed of cancer few months ago at 43 and we've been together since we were 18 and can't help to think of her when I hear this powerful song. I play it over and over again. "Cause this is not goodbye, it is just till we meet again."
My mom passed away 11 years ago from cancer at the age of 43 too... My dad would relate to you so much .. It's not a goodbye, it's a see you soon ( but not too soon ) 🕊💙 My dearest condolences
I lost both my parents to COVID just recently and this song makes me cry, It really depends on how you take it and how you handle it, I really do wish Heaven had visiting hours
I know, right? I'm so sorry for you're loss. Such a beautiful song. I used it for one of my cats 'short' vids because she is sick with cancer and will be gone soon. I cry everytime I hear this song and watch my babygirls video. Again, it sucks to loose someone that you love very much, but if you always remember the good times and the love you shared together, they will always live on in your heart forever!💔😇🙏✝️
I dedicate this song to my loved son mungerera job who passed away yesterday at midnyt...am so broken..I wish could visit you right away...may your soul rest in peace.

I can never finish this song. My mum passed away when my daughter was 6 months And when i am having a tough time....i listen to it, and it gets me everytime Sometimes we need this
This song was released a few days after my dad passed away. I never would've thought that i'd only have 18 years with my dad. I miss him every single day.
Me too, my mother passed away when I was 18. It has been almost 3 years but it plays back in my mind like it was just yesterday, and I live in regret and guilt everyday for not treasuring the time I had and doing everything I could. It just hurts so much
Thinking of you! I also lost my mum when I was 18. Has just been 16years since she passed. She hurts like hell but I am making her proud. Your dad will be with you everyday
I absolutely love love love Ed Sheerans Visiting Hours it makes me cry as I have so many questions I wish I had asked my mum before she died unexpectedly in 2005. I wish I could visit my mum, dad who died just before my 4th birthday, my twin brother who was stillborn and my sister I was 18 months when she passed. I was nearly with them 2 years ago when I had sepsis, double pneumonia and kidney failure after 3 weeks of being not present first thing I did was play your music when I was conscious. Hallelujah makes me think of my angel mum. I love you Ed xx
I can't stop crying to this song, especially the lyric "I wish that Heaven had visiting hours And I would ask them if I could take you home" I think it translates so well what everyone who lost someone wishes was possible....
Lost my dad when I was 12 and here I am still missing him every single day till I am 21. It's been not easy for growing up without a father figure in my life. I have so many unanswered questions to ask to him. So many stories to share. I only got into a middle school back then when he left me to a better place, and now I am already in my final year of university. I'm always on my peak of missing him whenever I face hardship and go through a mental breakdown. I feel like if he were still here, at least I could see him smiling and being proud of his last, little daughter. First few months of the year are always hard for me cause he passed away in January and his birthday is in March. Sometimes I get sad for no reason, and after thinking about it deeply, maybe I just miss him too much when a new year is starting. It feels weird. And sad. Dad, I miss you so much. I just want you to be happy up there. See you very soon. With love, daddy's forever little girl
Oh my goodness. Your story hit so close to home I just started bawling reading it. I lost my dad to cancer when I just started secondary school, or in your country it's considered middle school. I am his youngest daughter, too. Not a single day went by without missing him. I know that he's in a better place, and I keep him close to my heart. I am 21 now, and so much has happened since he's gone. I struggled so much during the earlier years when he was gone. It's been 8 years since, I'm in a much better place now, and I always hoped that he would be proud of me watching over me, wherever he may be. I wish you all the best in your endeavours. I'm sure your dad must be proud of you. Because if I think about it, I'm certain my dad would be so proud of who I have become too!
@@candyseah8299 I exactly know how hard it is to get up and move on with life no matter how many years it has been since our dads left us. You're doing great, praying for you and your family to always stay healthy wherever part of the world you are right now ❤
Holy shit, this is exactly how I felt 27 years ago when my mom passed away when I was 7 months pregnant with my first….. all the feels dude, all the fucking feels…..
@@HannahRose19960 The song talk about a Ed's friend who passed away Last year. I read this today in New interview about him, I think that's true. Sorry for bad English I'm French!

😢😢 Same here.. My dad left us last November and not a day goes by that I dont think of him and miss him dearly. There is now the good memories that will stay forever. Sending you my love Jude x
While other artists are celebrating post pandemic situation with their songs Ed is actually giving tribute to the wonderful people we lost along this journey……..
@@hospitalgal101 I think you mean his maternal grandmother. Supermarket Flowers is a song that is told from his mother's perspective about her mother aka his maternal grandmother.
My grandfather died very unexpectedly on 23 May this year. At that time, I was 39 weeks pregnant with my first child. On 4 June, my daughter Nina was born. She was given Maurice as her middle name, a tribute to my grandfather. A few weeks later, I got to know this song and the first sentences gave me goosebumps, tears ran down my cheeks and at the same time I got particularly warm inside.
"that she's getting older and i wish you'd met her" i gave birth to my daughter 1 month after my dad died, this part of the song really hits me and now my daughter is 10 months old and i wish he see every milestone her grand daughter had. : (
You dad is seeing every milestone that your daughter is achieving and will achieve. There is no doubt about that xx. The love your father had for you will never die and shall always encompass you and your family xx
This was played at my grandma's funeral, it was the last song she saved on her facebook account she was 95 yrs old, now i just cry everytime i hear it, such a beautiful song, these artist dont realise how much they impact familys in such a good way, thank you ed ❤
My daughter passed 8 months ago and we chose this at the service to celebrate her life. Her 10 year old son chose it as she was a huge Ed fan, as we all are. Whenever I hear it I will always cry as I remember her, and think of how she would want me to raise her amazing son. Xxx
I’m sure your daughter would have loved that your grandson chose this song. It always makes me cry I’m 13 and my grandpa died when I was 10 I used to stay with him 1-2 nights a week and he would play Ed Sheeran songs on his guitar for me at bedtime
Condolences. My best friend and brother passed 4 years ago and we did everything together since we were small kids all the way up till we were 25-27. His mom found him cause he wasn't answering his phone. I never got to say goodbye. I go to his grave sometimes and message him on Facebook cause it's the only way I can still feel close to him. Sorry to hear about your daughter man. Life works in weird ways.
Lyrically, one of his best work yet. Also hello! I made a rendition of “Visiting Hours” but it sounds like you’re in a cathedral ⛪️🔔 Mind giving it a listen?
I lost my newborn baby on the day that he was born. If heaven had a visiting hour, I would exchange anything in this world just to hug and see him. God had other plans and I know he’s now in a better place. I’m trusting Him every single day of my life.
We said goodbye to our father last year. My three siblings and I don’t have a day that passes without wishing we could speak to him just for a few moments. To have him suddenly taken from us was horrific. I now have two young nephews and the whole family teaches them about what a warm, loving and generous man their granddad was. This song pretty much sums up the place we are now. It’s beautiful.
Ed stunning amazing and every adjective that I can think of this song makes me cry I’ve probably listened to this at least fifty times I’m sixty five and have sadly I have experienced many losses I’m not alone many people. Have lost loved ones I think everyone who listened to this masterpiece think that the song was written just for them you have written a song that will live on forever I’ve asked for this song for when I pass great artists give their listeners a song that touches their souls thank you Ed for this phenomenal song
Danica Why don't you send me your number or gmail so we could get ourselves engaged in talking and understanding ourselves better as friends and I would also use the little opportunity to share some pictures with you over here.
Thank you Ed for making this song possible, we played this at my fathers funeral and I couldn’t thank you more for being so vulnerable in this song, I’ve always been a huge fan of yours and with this song you’ve made me emotionally involved personally, I know you probably won’t see this but thank you ❤

First time listening to this, i started crying even if my parents are still alive. Just imagining life without them makes me cry. This song is an art. A masterpiece. I just realized that i have to cherish every moment with my parents while there is time. Thank you ed. May God bless you.
Both of mine are gone plus a sister and this hits hard……right in the heart ❤️ a sibling is on a whole different level, plus I was orphaned at 62 years old. 😭😭😭😭
This song hits exactly the right strings. I’ve lost my mom a while ago and things haven’t been easy lately. While I can’t ask her for advice now, I have grown to be te person I am today because of her and I couldn’t be more thankful about that 🥲
I made a song about the loss of my mom, it helps to sing it th-cam.com/video/jtrOkZ-ptwo/w-d-xo.html maybe it will help you too. Ed Sheerans song brought me tears also ! SO beautiful.
Sending you prayers for peace and hope after your loss. Your mom would be proud of the person you have become and the way you honor her still, I am sure
I never knew that this song exists but now i always listen to it with tears because i lost my first love my dad. And now i wish heaven really had visiting hours💔
This song hits hard for all those people who have lost a loved one :( it would really be so beautiful that heaven had visiting hours to be able to hug my grandmother very hard and ask her for advice Thank you Ed for this beautiful song ♡
It hit me like a train- I have lost my mother, grandmother, grandfather and father, and I am only 38, so their love is all I have left- this so perfectly and beautifully captures that feeling...

Ed wrote and dedicated this song to his friend and mentor Micheal Gundinski who unexpectedly died in March, a legendary Australian record label founder and music producer, Ed always said he was like a father figure to him. He performed at Michael's state funeral in Melbourne and afterward wrote this song. A beautiful song and tribute to his friend.
He wrote it in 2 weeks when he was in quarantine
Thank you Emma. I read through all the comments because I knew this song was special and had deep roots. I also knew someone would take me there. Thanks again. I love the song but it makes me cry...
It was an absolute honour to see Ed perform this song for Michael for the first time at Michael’s state memorial. Not a dry eye in that arena. A beautiful song, and what a beautiful relationship they had. Both legends of the industry.
Hello Emma,
Many thanks for explaining why Ed wrote this song.
All the best and many thanks,
Peter Nolan. Ph.D.(physics). Dublin. Ireland.
Thanks for sharing that, I did wonder who he had written it for. R.I.P Michael 🙏🏼
Ed always knows how to touch your heart with his words. Thank you for this masterpiece.

They asked Ernest Hemingway once if he can write a whole story with only one phrase and he did it. In my eyes, the same just happened with Ed and the line "I wish that heaven had visiting hours." Literally one sentence but it packs so much emotion and expresses such a universal sentiment. What a brilliant songwriter.
Is there an interview of it?
For me it is "so much has changed since you've been away". That is the line that gets to me and says so much
@@julianamagg3177 went to comment the same exact thing. Ed NAILS emotional lyrics
I think Ant Clemons wrote the initial idea for the song. I don't know if that line specifically but anyway, it's worth saying it and remembering how sometimes many people contribute to the songwriting process
Hi guys , I released my first song " Clinical Report " on my channel : th-cam.com/video/ap1a1lvRrb4/w-d-xo.html

I miss my Grandmother so much 😭😭😭 I Love you forever Mama♥️🩵♥️🩷 Thank you Ed and everyone involved for this masterpiece ❤
Listening to this song felt like listening to Supermarket Flowers for the first time. Tears just fall involuntarily. It breaks your heart, but at the same time it feels like a warm comforting hug.
I love supermarket flowers, you’re so right!
Can't agree anymore
Agreed
Agree supermarket flowers had me balling same as this
It's a beautiful song and the tears just run and run
They aren't lying when they say Ed has a song for any point in someone's life. Love this song so much.

Very poignant indeed. Lost my mother this year and what I would do to just hear her voice or see her smile 😔💔
This is one of those "ugly cry" songs, where you remember someone you loved who has died, whom you wish you could talk to again. Another amazing song by Ed, expressing (and evoking) such deep feelings.
Yes !
So very true!!

"Visiting Hours" lyrics
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring the news
That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you
Can I stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
And soon they're going to close but I'll see you another day
So much has changed since you been away
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just swing by and ask your advice
What would you do in my situation?
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
You'd say remember that the answer in the love that we create
So much has changed since you been away
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
And I would ask them if I could take you home
But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
So I will live life the way you taught me
And make it on my own
And I will close the door but I will open up my heart
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just till we meet again
So much has changed since you been away
Thank u!

Man if heaven had visiting hours it would really be cool, I lost my dad when I was 11, I'd do anything to see him just one more time and see him face to face and just talk,hug him and tell him how much I miss him

I lost my Dad earlier this year. Oh my, this song. Ed’s voice. Ed’s melodies. Ed’s words. They all just reached in and tapped into so much that I think and feel right now. Thank you Ed, you are a special human being and your talent is so rare. You just manage to make connections with so many people at such deep levels, time and time again.
I miss you so much Dad and will love you forever and how I wish that heaven had visiting hours… 😢💔
My father moved on a week ago.

Lost my dad 7 years ago today to stage 4 cancer. I've listened to this song every year since on the day. I miss you dad.
I came here just to chill and just listen. I didn't expected to start shedding tears and remembering my grandmother that passed away from alzheimer's this year. thankyou Ed
I am sorry to hear that..
Rest in peace inshallh ❤️
Same here, they will watch us from up there for sure ❤️
I lost my grandmother to dementia this year and was feeling the same way. I hope it’s some comfort to know you aren’t alone 💗
I work in a memory care unit. They call dementia the long good bye. I am so sorry for your loss and I know the grief will ease but the pain will always help you remember who they where.

My sister passed away from delta covid last 2 weeks ago and we buried her 3 days ago and this song hits the thoughts of many who suffer from the illness but who are left behind. I saw u in concert at Minute Maid during the divide tour and you are a blessed songwriter.
So sorry for the loss of your sister , she will live on in your memories forever xx

Ed Sheeran your songs have gotten me through years of cancer treatment until the passing of my husband. I wish I could meet you and give you a big hug. Thank you for your art and talent to heal grief. I would so like to hug you and thank you so much! My husband was proud and such a gentleman. He worked for the Federal Reserve Bank J10 in Kansas City, Mo. he was a spectacular man that everyone loved. Cancer took his life 3-1/2 months ago. Your music got us through treatments, surgeries, hospitalizations. You are amazing. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

@@KeepingupwithDaina I’m so sorry, you are brave for sharing that. It will take time, but I pray your heart will heal. You will always feel her love for you❤️
@@esmee6308 sometimes people cope by ignoring their feelings. Songs like this are great for acknowledging such repressed emotions. I wish you both find a healthy way of coping with your loss. 💕💕
@@basicallybeya4076 I know that feeling all too well, sometimes a song hits like a truck and you've got no idea why. Ed songs tend to be really good at plucking at my heartstrings. We're both coping well with the loss of a parent, just in certain life moments it comes back pretty hard and in my sister's case becoming a mother, really makes her miss her own. It's a gap no-one can really fill, I'm happy she has a very lovely mother in law that lives nearby.
Rest in peace, Liam! Forever in our hearts 🤍
My partner died on July 30th. A couple weeks later, I saw a notification that Ed Sheeran had a new song and listened immediately, having zero idea what the song was about. As soon as I heard the first line I was in tears. It felt like a message from the universe at the moment I needed it most. Since, I’ve listened more times than I can count - it’s been a light in my darkest moments, and there have been many.
“I will close the door but I will open up my heart, and everyone I love will know exactly who you are.”
Thank you Ed for this beautiful song, and thank you Levi for your beautiful soul. Until we meet again 💕

My father passed in 2019 too. I keep thinking about how I won't have him to dance with me at my wedding. How he won't see his first grand child when I have children, and so many other firsts. I miss watching movies with him when I would visit, and how we would get about a new action film, and the dinners together how he would laugh at me chewing on my steak bone, and other memories like that.
Mine also passed away early 2019. We didn't have the closest relationship, he had a lot of issues that made it hard for him to keep in touch with me and my siblings. But there's so much I wish he would've been there to see. At least he got the chance to meet my niece, his first grandchild. But my nephews never got to meet him, neither will any future kids of mine or my siblings'
Tears keep rolling on my cheeks while I wish I can visit my baby mama and tell her how our sweet daughter has grown up and looks exactly like her. Continue resting in peace Rii

"Visiting Hours"
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring the news
That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her

The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
And soon they're going to close but I'll see you another day
So much has changed since you been away
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just swing by and ask your advice
What would you do in my situation?

Just like most comments, made me cry every time I hear it. My wife passed of cancer few months ago at 43 and we've been together since we were 18 and can't help to think of her when I hear this powerful song. I play it over and over again. "Cause this is not goodbye, it is just till we meet again."
So sad
Stay strong buddy!✊
👌🪴🧡💚
My mom passed away 11 years ago from cancer at the age of 43 too... My dad would relate to you so much .. It's not a goodbye, it's a see you soon ( but not too soon ) 🕊💙 My dearest condolences
Thank you all for the support. Means so much that people I don't even know reaches out. Thank you again.
I lost both my parents to COVID just recently and this song makes me cry, It really depends on how you take it and how you handle it, I really do wish Heaven had visiting hours
I know, right? I'm so sorry for you're loss. Such a beautiful song. I used it for one of my cats 'short' vids because she is sick with cancer and will be gone soon. I cry everytime I hear this song and watch my babygirls video. Again, it sucks to loose someone that you love very much, but if you always remember the good times and the love you shared together, they will always live on in your heart forever!💔😇🙏✝️
Heaven does have visiting hours. You just have to practice attending them.
Fuck COVID man. So sorry for your loss, remember their smiles, that I'm sure were beautiful, they're watching over you.
Really sorry to hear about your parents. That sucks. 💔
I am so sorry for your loss, hope you have been recovering well.
I dedicate this song to my loved son mungerera job who passed away yesterday at midnyt...am so broken..I wish could visit you right away...may your soul rest in peace.
*LYRICS:*
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring the news
That she's gettin' older and I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me
I got them all from you
Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
The little ones will grow, and I'll still drink your favorite wine
And soon they're goin' to close, but I'll see you another day
So much has changed since you've been away
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
So I could just swing by and ask your advice
What would you do in my situation?
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
What would you do?
'Cause you always do what's right
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
And say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create."
So much has changed since you've been away
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
And I would ask them if I could take you home
But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
So I will live life the way you taught me
And make it on my own
I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again
So much has changed since you've been away
💜🤍💜

This song was released a few days after my dad passed away. I never would've thought that i'd only have 18 years with my dad. I miss him every single day.
Stay strong janin he's watching over you 🙏
Me too, my mother passed away when I was 18. It has been almost 3 years but it plays back in my mind like it was just yesterday, and I live in regret and guilt everyday for not treasuring the time I had and doing everything I could. It just hurts so much
My grandma passed just days before it was released as well. I hope this song brings you healing as it did for me
Thinking of you!
I also lost my mum when I was 18.
Has just been 16years since she passed. She hurts like hell but I am making her proud.
Your dad will be with you everyday
🙏
Fuck ive rarely seen any artist make me cry just by their singing. Ed puts so much emotion into his music damn I'm breaking down

I agree this is amazing
I’m crying right now
😭😭😭😭😭 RIP my husband. Forever missed
I love you Mommy, I can't wait to see you again ♥
... here's to the good times

Right😭
I absolutely love love love Ed Sheerans Visiting Hours it makes me cry as I have so many questions I wish I had asked my mum before she died unexpectedly in 2005. I wish I could visit my mum, dad who died just before my 4th birthday, my twin brother who was stillborn and my sister I was 18 months when she passed. I was nearly with them 2 years ago when I had sepsis, double pneumonia and kidney failure after 3 weeks of being not present first thing I did was play your music when I was conscious. Hallelujah makes me think of my angel mum. I love you Ed xx
I can't stop crying to this song, especially the lyric "I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
And I would ask them if I could take you home" I think it translates so well what everyone who lost someone wishes was possible....
Same 😭😭
Except that HEAVEN is our Home.
Somtimes we wish to take beloved person home. And if you lost them you feel the song more than anybody else
@@percyjuros2914 Very emotional song 🎵

Only those who have been born again (a miraculous rebirth when you get saved and give your life to Jesus) get to Heaven. Have you been born again? :)
Lost my dad when I was 12 and here I am still missing him every single day till I am 21. It's been not easy for growing up without a father figure in my life. I have so many unanswered questions to ask to him. So many stories to share. I only got into a middle school back then when he left me to a better place, and now I am already in my final year of university. I'm always on my peak of missing him whenever I face hardship and go through a mental breakdown. I feel like if he were still here, at least I could see him smiling and being proud of his last, little daughter. First few months of the year are always hard for me cause he passed away in January and his birthday is in March. Sometimes I get sad for no reason, and after thinking about it deeply, maybe I just miss him too much when a new year is starting. It feels weird. And sad.
Dad, I miss you so much. I just want you to be happy up there. See you very soon.
With love,
daddy's forever little girl
Lost mime when I was 11. Still miss him...every second.
Oh my goodness. Your story hit so close to home I just started bawling reading it. I lost my dad to cancer when I just started secondary school, or in your country it's considered middle school. I am his youngest daughter, too. Not a single day went by without missing him. I know that he's in a better place, and I keep him close to my heart.
I am 21 now, and so much has happened since he's gone. I struggled so much during the earlier years when he was gone. It's been 8 years since, I'm in a much better place now, and I always hoped that he would be proud of me watching over me, wherever he may be.
I wish you all the best in your endeavours. I'm sure your dad must be proud of you. Because if I think about it, I'm certain my dad would be so proud of who I have become too!
I’m so sorry for your loss 😔
@@motherbuffer I’m very sorry for your loss Rene 😔
@@candyseah8299 I exactly know how hard it is to get up and move on with life no matter how many years it has been since our dads left us. You're doing great, praying for you and your family to always stay healthy wherever part of the world you are right now ❤
Holy shit, this is exactly how I felt 27 years ago when my mom passed away when I was 7 months pregnant with my first….. all the feels dude, all the fucking feels…..
I don't have anyone to dedicate this song to yet, I wish I won't have, but I know I will have.
I can emagine how you feel about this song. My father passed also in the 7th month of my first pragnancy. I wish you all the best
So sorry to hear that, I'm curious who Ed lost 😔 I love him so much
@@HannahRose19960 The song talk about a Ed's friend who passed away Last year. I read this today in New interview about him, I think that's true. Sorry for bad English I'm French!

actually this is a song for his friend Michael Gudinski, who passed away in March.

How are you doing
th-cam.com/video/BWqnTvP73zU/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/9MdsZFFMHow/w-d-xo.html
My grandfather died very unexpectedly on 23 May this year. At that time, I was 39 weeks pregnant with my first child. On 4 June, my daughter Nina was born. She was given Maurice as her middle name, a tribute to my grandfather. A few weeks later, I got to know this song and the first sentences gave me goosebumps, tears ran down my cheeks and at the same time I got particularly warm inside.
Such a beautiful tribute ♥️

"that she's getting older and i wish you'd met her" i gave birth to my daughter 1 month after my dad died, this part of the song really hits me and now my daughter is 10 months old and i wish he see every milestone her grand daughter had. : (
You dad is seeing every milestone that your daughter is achieving and will achieve. There is no doubt about that xx. The love your father had for you will never die and shall always encompass you and your family xx
I wish your little princess grow up beautifully and wish u have a good health (sorry for my grammar) 💌💖💖🥺🌷

YES, we do ❤️
This was played at my grandma's funeral, it was the last song she saved on her facebook account she was 95 yrs old, now i just cry everytime i hear it, such a beautiful song, these artist dont realise how much they impact familys in such a good way, thank you ed ❤
She left it for you
Dang ur grandma had Facebook at 95 that's awesome if she could post songs and stuff. My grandma is 95 too can barely use the basic cell phone.
My daughter passed 8 months ago and we chose this at the service to celebrate her life. Her 10 year old son chose it as she was a huge Ed fan, as we all are. Whenever I hear it I will always cry as I remember her, and think of how she would want me to raise her amazing son. Xxx
I’m sure your daughter would have loved that your grandson chose this song. It always makes me cry I’m 13 and my grandpa died when I was 10 I used to stay with him 1-2 nights a week and he would play Ed Sheeran songs on his guitar for me at bedtime
Condolences. My best friend and brother passed 4 years ago and we did everything together since we were small kids all the way up till we were 25-27. His mom found him cause he wasn't answering his phone. I never got to say goodbye. I go to his grave sometimes and message him on Facebook cause it's the only way I can still feel close to him. Sorry to hear about your daughter man. Life works in weird ways.
❤
😢😢
My condolences to you and your family. 😢
“Everyone I love will know exactly who you are”

Greatest plagiarist maybe
@@cobwebscavern2994 woah, woah, woah. WHAT!!! are you saying that the ed is a plagiarist
@@cobwebscavern2994 Plagiarist? Please elaborate
@@cobwebscavern2994 he literally wrote his own song, if you can’t explain or prove how Ed is a plagiarist then it’s because you know it’s not true
So ironic you have Marshall in your name and called ed the greatest artist ever 😩
I lost my newborn baby on the day that he was born. If heaven had a visiting hour, I would exchange anything in this world just to hug and see him. God had other plans and I know he’s now in a better place. I’m trusting Him every single day of my life.
Just a man, with a guitar, winning millions of hearts 💖
Ed Sheeran - What do I know
We said goodbye to our father last year. My three siblings and I don’t have a day that passes without wishing we could speak to him just for a few moments. To have him suddenly taken from us was horrific. I now have two young nephews and the whole family teaches them about what a warm, loving and generous man their granddad was. This song pretty much sums up the place we are now. It’s beautiful.
Same here. We lost our dad Nov 2020. I wish he was here so bad. It’s been rough for my sisters and I. This song is beautiful
First time I heard this song, I couldn't stop crying. I'm not even sad or lonely at that time. It just really hits you.
Hello Danica I love the song so much, how are you doing today?
Ed stunning amazing and every adjective that I can think of this song makes me cry I’ve probably listened to this at least fifty times I’m sixty five and have sadly I have experienced many losses I’m not alone many people. Have lost loved ones I think everyone who listened to this masterpiece think that the song was written just for them you have written a song that will live on forever I’ve asked for this song for when I pass great artists give their listeners a song that touches their souls thank you Ed for this phenomenal song
Danica Why don't you send me your number or gmail so we could get ourselves engaged in talking and understanding ourselves better as friends and I would also use the little opportunity to share some pictures with you over here.

Thank you Ed for making this song possible, we played this at my fathers funeral and I couldn’t thank you more for being so vulnerable in this song, I’ve always been a huge fan of yours and with this song you’ve made me emotionally involved personally, I know you probably won’t see this but thank you ❤
"Visiting Hours" Official AZ Lyrics
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring the news
That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you
Can I stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favourite wine
And soon they're going to close but I'll see you another day
So much has changed since you been away
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
So I could just swing by and ask your advice
What would you do in my situation?
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right
Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
You'd say remember that the answer in the love that we create
So much has changed since you been away
I wish that heaven had visiting hours
And I would ask them if I could take you home
But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best
So I will live life the way you taught me
And make it on my own
And I will close the door but I will open up my heart
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just till we meet again
So much has changed since you been away

First time listening to this, i started crying even if my parents are still alive. Just imagining life without them makes me cry. This song is an art. A masterpiece. I just realized that i have to cherish every moment with my parents while there is time. Thank you ed. May God bless you.
I'm on the same boat as you brother. Cherish every moment indeed.
Both of mine are gone plus a sister and this hits hard……right in the heart ❤️ a sibling is on a whole different level, plus I was orphaned at 62 years old. 😭😭😭😭
This song hits exactly the right strings. I’ve lost my mom a while ago and things haven’t been easy lately. While I can’t ask her for advice now, I have grown to be te person I am today because of her and I couldn’t be more thankful about that 🥲
