Five More Minutes Lyrics by Ashley Gearing

0

There's a girl out on the back porch
Trying to say good night
Mama's there in the kitchen
Flicking on and off the lights
That boy's gotta go now
It's getting pretty late
She says, "Mama, I don't wanna disobey."
[Chorus]
But I need 5 more minutes
Cause I ain't ready yet
We're out here counting the stars
This night's as pretty as it gets
Please mama, don't make him go
Cause I need 5 more minutes
5 more minutes
Now there's a daddy that tells the organist
To play one more song
No, nothing's wrong
I just want another moment to hold my baby girl
Since the first day I held you
I knew this day would come
Oh, honey
I'm so glad you found the one
[Chorus]
But I need 5 more minutes
Cause I ain't ready yet
With that white dress and flowers in your hair
You're as pretty as it gets
But it's so hard to let my baby go
I need 5 more minutes
5 more minutes, yeah
Now it's just him and her and God
Around that bed
And he needs 5 more minutes
Cause he ain't ready yet
Oh, his wrinkled hands are praying
Wishing God'd take him instead
And he can't let her go
Cause he needs 5 more minutes
5 more minutes, yeah
Man that clock ticks so fast
Cause once time passes
You can't have it back
