Five Minutes More

Five Minutes More

Dear, this evening seemed to go so awf'lly fast.
We had so much fun and now you're home at last.
I looked forward to a kiss or two at the garden gate,
But you gave me one peck and insisted it was late...

Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more,
Let me stay, let me stay in your arms.
Here am I begging for only five minutes more,
Only five minutes more of your charms.

All week long I dreamed about our Saturday date.
Don't you know that Sunday morning you can sleep late...

Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more,
Let me stay, let me stay in your arms...
