Reba McEntire – Seven Minutes In Heaven Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wouldn’t ask Cash why he wore all-black
Or have Elvis sing me a song
I wouldn’t ask why Kennedy died
‘Cause I know that I wouldn’t have long
I wouldn’t small talk with Peter about those pearly gates
I’d ask him to let me on in
And I’d say somebody’s waitin’ on the other side
That I’d really like to catch up with
[Chorus]
If I had seven minutes in Heaven
I know just what I’d do
Take a walk down those golden streets
And find a quiet corner booth
I wouldn’t spend all my seconds askin’ God questions
‘Cause He knows I’d be back soon
If I had seven minutes in Heavеn
I’d spend them all with you
[Verse 2]
How’s the fishin’ up thеre
Have you been gettin’ our prayers
We’ve been sendin’ them every night
The only issue here is oh Lord we miss you
But I swear we’re doin’ alright
Does the weather get colder?
Do you ever grow older?
Does it feel like the blink of an eye?
I’m so glad to be here
And I sure hope they serve beer
‘Cause, for me, it’s been a long time
This is How Reba McEntire Spends Her Millions
[Chorus]
If I had seven minutes in Heaven
I know just what I’d do
Take a walk down those golden streets
And find a quiet corner booth
I wouldn’t spend all my seconds askin’ God questions
‘Cause He knows I’ll be back soon
If I had seven minutes in Heaven
I’d spend them all with you
[Bridge]
When it’s last call, I’ll hug you
And I’ll tell you, “I love you”
But I won’t say goodbye
Right now, I got to leave
But the next round’s on me
And I know it won’t be the last time
[Chorus]
If I had seven minutes in Heaven
Then I know just what we’ll do
Oh we’ll take a walk down those golden streets
And find that same old corner booth
But I might take a few seconds to ask God some questions
I didn’t last time I was through
If I had seven minutes in Heaven
I’d spend them all with you
[Outro]
If I had seven minutes in Heaven
I’d spend them all with you
