Five More Minutes

Poem (Canso): 

Five more minutes, honey, please
But I've got stuff I have to do.
We've both got stuff we have to do
But I want to spend five minutes with you.

Three more minutes, darling, please
Hand me my coat, we've got to go.
We both have stuff, we've got to go
But just three minutes won't make us slow.

Two more minutes, baby, please
We're in a hurry, we've got no time.
We're always hurrying, we've got no time
But would one more minute be such a crime?

... one more minute, doctor, please.
I'm sorry, ma'am, the machines are off.
