Barbra Streisand - The Minute Waltz Lyrics
I have got a minute, just a little minute,I have only got a minute, just minute,I have only got a minute that is all the timeI have to sing this tiny minute waltzIt isnt easy but Ill try itThan I gotta say goodbyeBut first I take a minuteAnd put in it every note that chopin wroteAnd I shall sing the little minute waltzAnd hope that I can sing with no faultsAnd though its difficultIll give it last every last breath that I got within in my bodyHope that my performance wont be very shoddySinging every noteIm not the one to spoil my throatI probably will end up hoarseOf course I will Ive done itAn a way from that I made I will I wantIts not the money but the satisfaction that I getFrom winning money on this silly kind of betThough this kind of solo wasnt his intentionChopin isnt here to make an interventionSo with your permission and no intermissionI will sing each note that that composer wroteAs you can hear my trilling isnt very thrillingBut no one can say I wasnt very willingTo attempt a thing thats not been doneAnd just for fun to sing the minute waltzAs I sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzed byAnd now I ask you where am I halfway through the tuneAnd Im falling far behindI have less than 30 secondsLess than 30 secondsLess than 30Less than half a minuteI have less than 30 secondsI have less than half a minuteTo complete this little minute waltzOn every note thats in this scoreWhile the sands of time I know are pouringLet me win my bet and Ill run with the moneyDown to something store there Ill buy a honeyOf a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf show the world I wonOh the second hand is rushing round the dialAnd though Id like to end this torture with a smileUnless someone knows how to stop the clockYou gonna see me cry before I said goodbyeEight little measures to complete this songBut Im afraid my little lungs will burst before to long ifOnly I can last to scaleI wont have failed to sing the minute waltz!
