ONE MINUTE TO ONE
(B. Knight)


Ricky Nelson - 1959




One minute to one 
And you gotta go home
And I didn't even kiss ya 
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 ya
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 ya 
That I love you so
But I reckon I waited just a little too long
So we'd better go

(Instrumental Break)

One minute to one
How did it get so late
Even though I didn't get to kiss ya
Well, it's really been a wonderful date

And I want'cha to know now
That I think you're nice
But I reckon I'll wait till tomorrow night
And I'll kiss you twice
