Earlier in the year, Ed Sheeran wrote and performed a very special song called 'Visiting Hours' for his late friend Michael Gudinski's state funeral in Australia.
During the performance, Ed Sheeran broke down on stage and the emotional lyrics struck a chord with all sorts of people around the world who had lost somebody close to them.
Finally, following the release of his single 'Bad Habits', Ed has released 'Visting Hours'.
Alongside the release of Ed's heartfelt song, he released a statement: "It's so hard to put into words how much Michael meant to me, and to all who knew him. I felt like I needed to try just so I could process it in my own head."
Grab the tissues... You can read the lyrics below.
I wish that heaven Had visiting hours So I could just show up Then bring the news
That she's getting older And I wish that you met her The things that she'll learn from me I got them all from you
And we just talk a while And we'll put all the world to wax The little ones will grow and I'll still drink you're favourite wine
But soon they're going 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 Cos you always do what's right
And we just talk a while Until my worries disappear I tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure You'd say remember that the answers in the love that we create
So much has changed Since you've been away
(Instrumental)
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 then I will open up my heart And everyone I love will know exactly who you are Cos this is not goodbye It's just until we meet again So much has changed Since you've been away
