5 More Minutes Lyrics

I think of my granddad in '44
Overseas fightin' in the war
He was the pilot of a B24
And father of my dadIf he hadn't made it home okay
Then I wouldn't be here today
It wasn't until he passed away
That I realized what I had
Precious time you can't have backI wish I had 5 more minutes
One more time with him
To share a cup of coffee with him
And hear his voice againI'd tell him that I loved him
And he would know how much I meant it
'Cause you can love a lifetime
In 5 more minutesWhen I think about college days
It's not just the class you take
No, it's more about the buddies you make
You'll remember all your lifeAnd when we all finished school
One did what he was born to do

Served his country for me and you
And sacrificed his life
And we still miss him all the timeI wish I had 5 more minutes
One more time with him
To share a cup of coffee with him
And hear his voice againI'd tell him what a friend he was
And he would know I meant it
'Cause you can love a lifetime
In 5 more minutesI drove to see my dad yesterday
When it was time to go
I changed my mind
And told him waitGive me 5 more minutes
If that's all right with you
To share a cup of coffee with me
Hey, that's the least that I can doI told him that I loved him
And he sure knew I meant it
'Cause you can love a lifetime
In 5 more minutesIt only takes 5 more minutes
