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 Frank Black Blacharczyk Nov 15 2021

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.
