Twenty Minutes

If you had twenty minutes
To tell a loved one goodbye,
Would you tell them that you love them
Or would you break down and cry.

Would you let your tears get in the way
Of saying goodbye to the one you loved.
To let those final twenty minutes slip away
To have regret you will always think of.

Or would you tell them that they'll always,
Have a special place inside your heart.
Tell them that without them
You wouldnÕt have made it very far.

Would you tell them that you love them?
And will never forget their love.
And tell them wherever you go in life
They'll be the one that you think of.

Losing a friend in never easy
We all know how it feels
But not saying what they mean to you
Will never help the pain heal.

So take that last twenty minutes
To tell them no matter how far you are apart
They will always hold a special place
Deep inside your heart.
