Mike Heron - Squeeze The Minutes Lyrics

My heart melts at the thought of two people

achingly in love - "Living apart for the life we're

going to build". - "Romance on the top of the

podium yet again and geography just scrapes bronze"!



That I feel strongly enough about it to write a

song is entirely due to overexposure, as a child,

to 'Family Favourites'.



Now we're livin' apart for the life we're gonna

build when the time is right.

But the time gets stretched in she Space that's between us,

Squeeze the minutes

I wanna hear you whisperin' to me

I wanna kiss you in the night, in the night



chorus:

Squeeze the minutes

Chase the hands round

Anything to get you

Sooner than has to be here in my arms

Squeeze the minutes

Squeeze the minutes

Squeeze the minutes

I want you here in my arms



As you said it yourself in your note it wasn't

such a bad photograph of you

But if lookin' was all to the way you are then I

could keep my heart more

I wouldn't mind this livin' apart so

Maybe wouldn't think of it all the time



chorus:



Oh I threw it away the thought - "I wouldn't

wait, couldn't wait for one love".

I only think of the way you understand me and

I know that it's worthwhile

I only think of the way that you are

It's makin' me know what I want - oh what I want



chorus:
