ONE MINUTE TO ONE
(Thomas Baker Knight)
RICKY NELSON (IMPERIAL 66017, 1964)

One minute to one, and you gotta go home
And I didn't even kiss you, while we were alone
I was sittin' there wishin', I could hold you tight
But I reckon I waited just a little too long
To... kiss you tonight
One minute to one, how did it get so late
Even though I didn't get to kiss you
It's really been a wonderful date
One minute to one, and the movie was great
But your mama's gonna worry, 'cause it's gettin' so late
I just wanted to tell you, that I love you so
But I reckon I waited just a little too long
So... we'd better go

One minute to one, how did it get so late
Even though I didn't get to kiss you
It's really been a wonderful date
I want you to know now, that I think you're nice
But I reckon I'll wait till tomorrow night
And... I'll kiss you twice
