I think of my granddad in '44
Overseas fightin' in the war
He was the pilot of a B24
And father of my dad
If he hadn't made it home okay
Then I wouldn't be here today
It wasn't until he passed away
That I realized what I had
Precious time you can't have back
I wish I had 5 more minutes
One more time with him
To share a cup of coffee with him
And hear his voice again
I'd tell him that I loved him
And he would know how much I meant it
Cause you can love a lifetime
In 5 more minutes
When I think about college days
It's not just the class you take
No, it's more about the buddies you make
You'll remember all your life
And when we all finished school
One did what he was born to do
Served his country for me and you
And sacrificed his life
And we still miss him all the time
I wish I had 5 more minutes
One more time with him
To share a cup of coffee with him
And hear his voice again
I'd tell him what a friend he was
And he would know I meant it
Cause you can love a lifetime
In 5 more minutes
I drove to see my dad yesterday
When it was time to go
I changed my mind
And told him wait
Give me 5 more minutes
If that's all right with you
To share a cup of coffee with me
Hey, that's the least that I can do
I told him that I loved him
And he sure knew I meant it
Cause you can love a lifetime
In 5 more minutes
It only takes 5 more minutes
