One Minute Away

So much to say but I kept silent
Fearin' to make a mistake
The sweetest words, thay can be violent
And there's too many things to break

All the anguish and the bliss
All the pictures that I miss
Gathered in a single sight
All the past leading to this
Was sunddenly put at risk
When I felt like holdin' you tight
Was I right?

One minute away
To say the things you can never say
Between the wonder and the worry
Cause it was so hard to say
That you meant something to me
It's not only because you're so fine
But still I want to be by your side
Just a few moments alone
Now that this sweet minute's gone

From a window we saw a rider once
Where was he going?
The night was cold and the wind whistled a song
I still keep on singing

I didn't want you to be
Just a fading memory
Belonging to a frozen time
Like the rider and the melody
The wind took you far from me
And each time we met again
I couldn't explain

One minute away
To say the things you can never say
Between the wonder and the worry
Cause it was so hard to say
That you meant something to me
It's not only because you're so fine
But still I want to be by your side
Just a few moments alone
Now that this sweet minute's gone

And I still don't want you to be
Just a fading memory
Belonging to a frozen time
Now we're ending up knowing
Where the rider was going
When we owls met on that night
Were we right?

One minute away
To say the things you can never say
Between the wonder and the worry
Cause it was so hard to say
That you meant something to me
It's not only because you're so fine
But still I want to be by your side
Just a few moments alone
Now that this sweet minute's gone
