If God would grant me one more minute
So we could say goodbye
And try to put a lifetime
In a time too short to try
I dont know how to let you go
It hurts too much this pain
To know whenever I walk through our door
I’ll never find you home again
If God would grant me one more minute
I guess I’d ask for two
I’d need more time to be with you
And a minute wouldn’t do
I wouldn’t know what to say though
Words can be such a useless tool
With so little time to share
Just two minutes would be cruel
If God would grant me one more minute
I would just keep bargaining for more
Until we had that lifetime
That was promised to us before
I know I have to let you go
And believe me, dear, I have tried
But if given one more minute
At least I could kiss you goodbye.
