The Next Ten Minutes

Lyrics

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 'til 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,
 'Til 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
 I am 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 exact-
 -Ly 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
 For the next ten lifetimes?
 For a million summers
 BOTH
 Til the world explodes,
 'Til there's no one left
 Who has ever known us apart!
 CATHERINE
 Forever
 Forever, Jamie...
 JAMIE
 There are so many dreams I need to see
 With you
 I will never be complete –
 I will never change the world
 Until I do.
 I do.
 CATHERINE
 There are so many years I need to be
 With you...
 I will never be alive...
 I do.
 I do.
 BOTH
 I do...
 CATHERINE
 Is that one John Lennon?
 That's the San Remo.
 Isn't that the Museum?
 Can we go see the dinosaurs?
