Ten Minutes More

She laid down on the floor
Next to her teddy bear
Talkin to him softly
Combing through his hair

She told him it'll be alright
Sometimes life's not fair
Said that they'd meet again
She just couldn't tell him where

She put the brush away
She laid back on the floor
She felt the blood rush through her
For only ten minutes more

Ten more minutes may not feel like a lot
But trust me, it's a lifetime when it's all you got
Ten more minutes could have changed the world
For this young and wonderful beautiful baby girl
But she didn't waste it and with the time she had
She got to spend some of it with her mom and dad
But it all came crashing on down to the floor
Think of all she could have done in only ten minutes more

Doctor's always told them
They'd try and do their best
But they knew her only outcome
Was she'd be laid to rest

She lived life to the fullest
With the little time she had
She focused on her blessings
And tried never to get sad

And in those last ten minutes
As she laid there on the floor
A million thoughts when through her head
For only ten minutes more

Ten more minutes may not feel like a lot
But trust me, it's a lifetime when it's all you got
Ten more minutes could have changed the world
For this young and wonderful beautiful baby girl
But she didn't waste it and with the time she had
She got to spend some of it with her mom and dad
But it all came crashing on down to the floor
Think of all they could have done in only ten minutes more

See her parents had been fighting
About how to pay the bills
And grandma was on the phone
Getting refills of the pills

And with all the commotion
She was left there all alone
But she heard her parents argue
And heard grandma on the phone

And after that ten minutes
When they found her on the floor
They could only ask for one thing
Please give us ten minutes more

Ten more minutes may not feel like a lot
But trust me, it's a lifetime when it's all you got
Ten more minutes could have changed the world
For this young and wonderful beautiful baby girl
But she didn't waste it and with the time she had
She got to spend some of it with grandma, mom, and dad
But it all came crashing on down to the floor
Think of all that you can do in only ten minutes more

Now no one knows just how
And no one knows just where
But all that's missing from her room
Is a little girl and her teddy bear
