One Minute More

If all should pale and cease to be
The sun the clouds the deep blue sea
The dark the light the night the day
And every thing and every way

But then there stood still you and I
With little earth and barren sky
For just a single minute more
One minute just of mine and yours

A wisp of time of course it's true
But anytime I spend with you
Takes on much more significance
As we could talk or kiss or dance

Or we could just hold hands once more
Your hand my hand my heart and yours
And watch the world go up in smoke
This minute would be worth, of all, the most
