Five More Minutes

I’m not tired in the least
Five more minutes please
The sun hasn’t set
It’s painting the west
Picture pretty
Hints of lilac light
But not a star in sight
Last call for kick the can
Please just once again
Before I come inside
Don’t want to go to bed
Don’t want to close my eyes
Don’t want to rest my head
And end this summer night
Don’t want to go to bed
And end this summer night
Fireflies glow for us
The cricket’s orchestra
The night is awake
Please don’t make me
Go to sleep
I’m not tired in the least
Five more minutes please
I’m not tired in the least
Five more minutes please
