Norbert Leo Butz lyrics : "The Next Ten Minutes"

JAMIE:
No, that one's Jerry Seinfeld.
That one's John Lennon, there.

No, the Dakota;
The San Remo is up a few blocks.
Have you been inside the Museum?

We should go.
Meet the dinosaurs.


Cathy...

Will you share your life with me

For the next ten minutes?
For the next ten minutes
We can handle that

We could watch the waves
We could watch the sky
Or just sit and wait

As the time ticks by
And if we make it till then
Can I ask you again

For another ten?

And if you in turn agree

To the next ten minutes
And the next ten minutes
Till the morning comes

Then just holding you
Might compel me to
Ask you for more

There are so many lives I want to share with you
I will never be complete until I do


CATHERINE/CATHY
I'm not always on time
Please don't expect that from me

I will be late
But if you can just wait
I will make it eventually


Not like it's in my control
Not like I'm proud of the fact

But anything other than being exactly on time
I can do


I don't know why people run
I don't know why things fall through
I don't know how anybody survives in this life

Without someone like you
I could protect and preserve
I could say no and goodbye

But why, Jamie, why?

I want to be your wife

I want to bear your child
I want to die
Knowing I

Had a long, full life in your arms
That I can do
Forever, with you


JAMIE
Will you share your life with me


CATHY
Forever


JAMIE
For the next ten lifetimes?


CATHY
Forever, Jamie


JAMIE
For a million summers


BOTH
Till the world explodes
Till there's no one left
Who has ever known us apart


JAMIE
There are so many dreams
I need to see here with you...


CATHY
There are so many years
I need to be with you...

JAMIE

I will never be complete

CATHY
I will never be alive


JAMIE
I will never change the world
Until I do

CATHY
I do


JAMIE
I do

CATHY
I do


BOTH
I do...

CATHY
Is that one John Lennon?
That's the San Remo.
Isn't that the Museum?

Can we go see the dinosaurs?
