Five Minutes More

If only I had five minutes more
What I would say if I only knew if I only knew
How could I know
What I know now these words are for you
They would turn you upside down Inside out to see you laugh
Just five minutes more that I didn’t get
A different tune a love song that you never heard before
From my lips that always spoke from a guarded soul
Forgive me if I only had five minutes more
I can say what I want to say looking to the heavens
Hoping you can hear me with a wink and a nod

Four minutes I have got to read, login and post this comment. Unfortunately not laughed me yet and so a primary question: how long is period when I should feel the fun and so laughter.
