Dennis Brinson One Minute Lyrics

I was six years old in my Daddy's chair
He came home from work, dirt everywhere
Had a glove on my left, a ball in my right
And two or three hours of daylight

Dad won't you say we play some catch in the yard
"Just a minute", he said, "let me check on your Mom."
I sat there 'til I couldn't stand it no more
And when I looked up, he said, "What are you waiting for?"

One minute, in a moment it's gone
But a lot can be said and a lot can be done
One minute, a small measure of time
I wanna make the most of mine, one minute

I pulled to the front of that stately white house
Walked to the door, quiet as a mouse
Her mom opened up and invited me in
Yes I've heard of you, she said with a grin

Sit in this chair while I tell her you're here
Just a minute, three words, I heard loud and clear
She danced down the stairs like a ray of the sun
And after that night I knew she was the one

One minute, in a moment it's gone
But a lot can be said and a lot can be done
One minute, a small measure of time
I wanna make the most of mine, one minute

Life brings a lot of changes
Our love grows deeper with time
Don't forget to smell the roses
Before you leave it all behind

I sat by her bed along with several machines
She knew I was there, Doc what's that mean
I held her hand tight, she took her last breath
Just a minute, you can't have her yet

One minute, in a moment it's gone
But a lot can be said and a lot can be done
One minute, a small measure of time
I wanna make the most of mine

One minute, in a moment it's gone
But a lot can be said, a lot can be done
One minute, a small measure of time
I wanna make the most of mine

One minute...
