Five More Minutes - Meaghan Smith

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
