The Next Ten Minutes

No, that one's Jerry Seinfeld

That one's John Lennon, there

No, the Dakota

The San Remo is up a few blocks

Have you been inside the Museum?

We should go

Meet the dinosaurs

Cathy

Will you share your life with me

For the next ten minutes?

For the next ten minutes

We can handle that

We could watch the waves

We could watch the sky

Or just sit and wait

As the time ticks by

And if we make it 'til then

Can I ask you again

For another ten?

And if you in turn agree

To the next ten minutes

And the next ten minutes

'Til the morning comes

Then just holding you

Might compel me to

Ask you for more

There are so many lives I want to share with you

I will never be complete until I do

I'm not always on time

Please don't expect that from me

I will be late

But if you can just wait

I will make it eventually

Not like it's in my control

Not like I'm proud of the fact

But anything other than being exactly on time

I can do

I don't know why people run

I don't know why things fall through

I don't know how anybody survives in this life

Without someone like you

I could protect and preserve

I could say no and goodbye

But why, Jamie, why?

I want to be your wife

I want to bear your child

I want to die

Knowing I

Had a long, full life in your arms

That I can do

Forever, with you

Will you share your life with me

Forever

For the next ten lifetimes?

Forever, Jamie

For a million summers

'Til the world explodes

'Til there's no one left
