Five minutes on the hour
Every hour on the hour
Five minutes of the latest blues
To think about you all day long
Would drive me to despair
To miss you every minute
Would be more that I could bear
So I've learned to turn your memory
On and off inside 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
It's not as easy as it sounds
Your memory's so alive
I find it hard forgetting you
The other fifty-five
So I keep busy doing things
To ocupy my mind
And I 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
Five minutes of the latest blues
