5 minutes left what to do, what to do
Gather my kids; tell them what they all knew
You’re all my favorites, don’t listen to Nicole
I love you all equally, in my heart and in my soul

Call a few friends just to say hello
Never a goodbye although they know
Not much to say it’s already been said
By living my life not planning to instead

4 minutes left, with you is that enough?
Not much more to convey, this won’t be tough
Been together for such a short while
No matter how you feel, baby please smile

I’d hug you and whisper I’m so in love with you
But thankfully that’s something you already knew
I want you to know I always tried my best
Did what I could do, up to God left the rest

I have no regrets, not a single one
I can feel a different kind of pain has begun
Quick look into my eyes, a few more things I must say
My body is going but my heart with you will stay

I must go now, knowing my life is complete
One last whiff, ahh, that love-spell is so sweet
I’ll see you soon in another time and place
I’ll be the guy with a rose in his hand and a smile on his face
