  • 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 'bout those pearly gates
    I'd ask him to let me on in
    And I'd say there's somebody waiting on the other side
    That I'd really like to catch up with

    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 asking God questions
    'Cause He knows I'd be back soon
    If I had seven minutes in Heaven
    I'd spend them all with you

    How's the fishing up there
    Have you been getting our prayers
    We've been sending them every night
    The only issue here is oh, Lord, we miss you
    But I swear we're doing alright

    Does the weather get colder?
    Do you ever grow older?
    Does it feel like the blink of an eye?
    'Cause I'm so glad to be here
    And I sure hope they serve beer
    'Cause, for me, it's been a long time

    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 asking God questions
    'Cause He knows I'll be back soon
    If I had seven minutes in Heaven
    I'd spend them all with you

    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

    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

    If I had seven minutes in Heaven
    I'd spend them all with you Writer/s: Matthew Wynn, Olivia Rudeen
