One More Minute - Chatham County Line

I don’t want to leave I don’t want to go

But I make my living away from home

These hands of time too fast they wind

I’d trade everything I own if I could just find

One more minute, one more second

To spend with you

One more minute, one more second

Just to hold you

I hear the whistle blow the idle hiss of the steam

There’s such little time to tell you what I mean

So you keep this simple refrain and a kiss

I swear on my life we won’t always miss

One more minute, one more second

To spend with you

One more minute, one more second

Just to hold you

But that is life and love you cannot control

If I was another man you might have less to hold

So I pack my grip and set my chin

Knowing that feeling when I see your face again

One more minute, one more second

To spend with you

One more minute, one more second

Just to hold you

One more minute, one more second

Don’t tell me the truth

One more minute, one more second

Just to hold you

I hear the whistle blow the idle hiss of the steam

There’s such little time to tell you what I mean
