each minute seems a million years

i have no record now of time

for you are all that's on my mind

i think of you both night and day

each hour of each minute you're away

was it days or years since you left

oh how many hours now have passed

i know i've shed ten-thousaind tears

each minute seems a million years

each night i go to bed and then

i pray that you'll come back again

when sleep won't come to drown my fears

each minute seems a million years

'til i'm back within your arms again

and until i find that nights do end

the time i wait for you

my dear

each minute seems a million years.
