Two Seconds
Two Seconds is a 1932 American Pre-Code crime drama film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Edward G. Robinson, Vivienne Osborne and Preston Foster. It was based on a successful Broadway play of the same name by Elliott Lester. The title refers to the two seconds it takes the condemned person to die in the electric chair after the executioner throws the switch. Preston Foster reprises the role he played on the Broadway stage.
Plot
As John Allen (Edward G. Robinson), a condemned murderer, is led to the electric chair, a witness asks the prison warden how long it takes for the condemned person to die. "A strongly built man like John Allen?" he is told, "It'll take two seconds". The witness remarks, "That'll be the longest two seconds of his life." As the executioner throws the switch, the events that led up to the execution appear in flashback.

Two Seconds
by: Laura CantrellI met a guy in a west coast town, had four walls to bring him down.
And he sometimes speaks of you, the way that you want him to.
Late at night he'd reminisce, over the lips he used to kiss.
And his hand upon your hip, why don't you send him a line.
Cause I'm almost certain, That he's going crazy.
For two seconds of your love.
Two seconds of your love, Is all I need from you.
Two seconds of your time, that's enough to say we're through.
Two beats of your heart, enough to know we'll never part.
Two seconds of your love, that's all I ever want.
I never thought that he'd go that far, lost his job and he stole a car.
And he's running back to you, the way you'd want him to.
Late at night I reminisce, over the lips I used to kiss.
And your hand upon my wrist, why don't you send me a line.
Cause I'm almost certain, that I'm going crazy.
For two seconds of your love.
Two seconds of your love, Is all I need of you.
Two seconds of your time, that's enough to say we're through.
Two beats of your heart, enough to know we'll never part.
Two seconds of your love, it's all I ever want.
Two seconds of your love, Is all I need of you.
Two seconds of your time, that's enough to say we're through.
Two beats of your heart, enough to know we'll never part.
