Ashley Gearing - 5 More Minutes lyrics

rate me

There’s a girl on the back porch trying to say goodnight

Mama’s in the kitchen flicking on and off the lights

That boy’s got to go now it’s getting pretty late

She says mama I don’t want to disobey

But I need five 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

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

It’s so hard to let my baby go

I need five more minutes

Five more minutes

It’s just him and her and God around that bed

He needs five more minutes

Cause he ain’t ready yet

His wrinkled hands are praying

Wishing God would take him instead

It’s so hard to let his baby go

He needs five more minutes

Five more minutes

Man that clock ticks so fast

Once time passes you can’t have it back
