The Minute Waltz Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

I've got minute 

Just a little minute 

I have only got a minute 

Just a minute 

I have only got a minute 

That is all the time I have 

To sing this tiny little minute waltz 

It isn't easy but I'll try it then 

I've got to say goodbye 

But first I'll take a minute 

And put in it 

Every note that you may know 

That less I sing a little minute waltz 

And hope I can sing with no faults 

I know it's difficult 

I'll give it every last breath that I've got within my body 

Hope that my performance won't be very shoddy 

Singing every moment won't do wonders for my throat 

I probably will end up hoarse 

Of course I will I've got it down a wager 

That I made I will I want 

I know its not the money but the 

Satisfaction that I get from winning money 

On this silly kind of bet 

Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention 

Chopin isn't here to make an intervention 

So with your permission 

And no intermission 

I will sing each note 

That that composer wrote 

As you can hear my trilling 

Isn't very thrilling 

But no one can say 

I wasn't very willing 

To attempt a thing that's not been done 

And just for fun to sing the minute waltz

As I sing the seconds fly 

All too soon the minute waltzes by 

And now I ask you where am I 

Halfway through the tune and I'm falling far behind 

I have less than thirty seconds 

Less than thirty seconds 

Less than thirty 

Less than half a minute 

I have less than thirty seconds 

I have less than half a minute 

To complete this little minute waltz 

But every note that's in the score I buy 

The sands of time I know are pouring at me 

With my bet and honour with the money 

Down to some big store and there to buy a honey 

And a trophy for myself 

To put upon the shelf 

To show the world I've won 

Oh, the second hand is rushing round the dial 

And though I'd like to end this torture with a smile 

And lest someone knows how to stop the clock 

You're gonna see me cry 

Before I say goodbye 

_____ To complete the song 

But I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before too long 

If only I can last this day 

I won't have failed to sing a little minute waltz.
