There's a girl out on the back porch tryin' to say goodnight
|
Mama's in the kitchen flickin' on and off the lights
|
That boy's gotta go now, it's gettin' pretty late
|
She says, "Mama, I don't wanna disobey
|
|
"But I need five more minutes 'cause I ain't ready yet
|
"We're out here countin' the stars, it's as pretty as it gets
|
"Please, Mama, don't make him go
|
"I need five more minutes
|
"Five more minutes"
|
There's a daddy that tells the organist to play one more song
|
"No nothin'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
|
"And Honey, I'm so glad you found the one
|
|
"But I need five 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 five more minutes
|
"Five more minutes"
|
|
Now it's just him and her and God around that bed
|
And he needs five more minutes 'cause he ain't ready yet
|
Oh, his wrinkled hands are prayin', wishin' God take him instead
|
And he can't let her go
|
'Cause he needs five more minutes
|
Five more minutes
|
|
Five more minutes
|
|
Man, that clock ticks so fast
|
'Cause once time passes, you can't have it back
|
