So Little Time
Mimi Maura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got so, little time
To do, everything, I want to

He takes his time, to look around
While my arms are here to run to

Gonna take his face in my hands
Kiss him till' he understands

That we, have so, little time

Gonna be so old and gray now
Little time
It's gonna be too late to say now
Little time
Pretty fine things we should have said then
This chance may never come again

I'm gonna take, more time
Holding, and loving... my man now

I'm gonna stay by him
And show him
How he needs me now

I will take his face in my hands
Kiss him till he understands
That we have so little time
Gonna take his face in my hands
Kiss him till he understands
That we have so little time
So little time
So little time

So little time
So little time

I got so, little time
I feel overwhelmed with the limited time available to me

To do, everything, I want to
To accomplish all the things I desire

He takes his time, to look around
He is leisurely observing his surroundings

While my arms are here to run to
Meanwhile, I am waiting here to embrace him

Gonna take his face in my hands
I am determined to hold his face gently

Kiss him till' he understands
Planting kisses on him until he comprehends

That we, have so, little time
The realization that we have limited time together

Gonna be so old and gray now
We will grow old and age eventually

Little time
The time we have is scarce

It's gonna be too late to say now
Regretting not expressing certain things earlier

Pretty fine things we should have said then
Beautiful sentiments we neglected to convey
