Lyrics
FIVE MINUTES
The sun is setting low without a sound
And paints a glorious end to a perfect day
Friends are leaving messages
Calling all day
Where you been?
?We?re okay.?
We say, ?We?re in love!?
You?re my hope for love
And you fill my lonely world
With melody and a song
Your promise in the making
Is a gamble that you?re staking
Odds are sketchy at best
That love can hedge a sweeter bet
Chorus:
I?d rather see the sun rise only once
Than to miss your smile
And another morning with you
Than to live one more day without you
I?d rather love you five minutes
Than never at all
We surface long enough
For the naked truth to walk in the room
And then proceed to sit right down
On the couch between us
Chorus
A million prayers for time
Won?t convince the tide
All the wishes in the world
Won?t stop this train
It will ride as it pleases
Into the sunset with both of us
Either way
Chorus
I?d rather love you five minutes
Than to never, never have loved you at all
