Five More Minutes Lyrics

He’s almost 16
Sometimes it’s hard to believe
Cause I still see him in my mind
Sitting in his car seat
Singing Jesus loves me
Spider-Man pajamas holding my hand
So tight

She’s almost 20
Seems just like last week
She was spinning round and round
While her daddy played piano
Hell, where does the time go?
From baby girl to someone else’s now
Wish I had five more minutes

Dropping pepper off the college
Cooking with my mama
Dancing with my sister
Singing so loud, so loud
Running my pink coffee bag
Nashville for the first time
These moments flash and I’m right back in it
Wish I could go back for five more minutes
Five more minutes

We were 23
He’s still my everything
Yeah, that was such a different time
Sipping all that tequila
Talking and kissing and singing
Pulling you close when you leaving
You know I’ll always need you for five more minutes

Dropping pepper off the college
Cooking with my mama
Dancing with my sister
Singing so loud, so loud
Running my pink coffee bag
And I screwed for the first time these moments blush
And I’m right back in it, wish I could go back
But five more minutes
Five more minutes

It’s been three years since you went to heaven
I still see you in my mind
I hope you saw me singing at the Opry
We talked about it when I hugged you
For the last time
If I had five more minutes

Dropping pepper off the college
Cooking with my mama
Dancing with my sister
Singing so loud, so loud
Running my pink coffee bag
And I screwed for the first time these moments blush
And I’m right back in it, wish I could go back
But five more minutes
Five more minutes
