Lyrics One More Minute - Chatham County Line

One More Minute

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
