Five minutes on the hour
Every hour on the hour
Five minutes of the latest blues
Thinking about you all day long
Would drive me to despair
Missing you each minute
Would be more that I could bear
So I turn your memory
On and off inside my mind
And just miss you
A little at a time
Five minutes on the hour
Every hour on the hour
Five minutes set aside for
Missing you
Five minutes on the hour
Every hour on the hour
Five minutes of the latest blues
It's not as easy as it sounds
Your memory's so alive
I find it hard forgetting you
The other fifty-five
But I keep busy doing things
To ocupy my mind
And just miss you
Five minutes at a time
Five minutes on the hour
Every hour on the hour
Five minutes set aside for
Missing you
Five minutes on the hour
Every hour on the hour
Five minutes of the latest blues
