Five More Minutes Lyrics

You, you made the sun rise

You, you made the whole world spin

When I was very small

Oh, I believed it then

You made the rain fall

You, you made the world turn round

I've grown a lot since then

I still believe it now

And when that morning sun came up

You'd come in to wake me, but

I'd roll right over and I'd say

Oh won't you

Give me just five more minutes

Pull the covers to my chin and

Let me rest my head

Cause I'm not ready yet

You'd smile as you let the light in

There's no use in tryin' to fight it

Rise and shine

The time's not mine to give

You, you gave me my whole life

I, I never had to ask

You've raised me up just fine

And that's no easy task

You're there when I need a friend

You're always a call away

I knew it way back then

I know it still today

And when that morning sun comes up

You still knock to wake me, but

I roll right over and I say

Oh won't you

Give me just five more minutes

Pull the covers to my chin and

Let me rest my head

Cause I'm not ready yet

You smile as you let the light in

There's no use in tryin' to fight it

Rise and shine

The time's not mine

I'm right as rain when you're around

I've never been alive without you

And I don't want to

And Mama, I just can't imagine

The stars would shine without your magic

And I don't want to

And maybe you can't make the world turn

And you, you can't slow down time

I know that if you could, you would

I know it doesn't stop you trying

If heaven were kinder

If there were infinite minutes I could find

I could never stop at five

I need a million lives

As long as you're there by my side

I'm not ready

You smile as you let the light in

There's no use in tryin' to fight it

Rise and shine

The time's not mine

Rise and shine

The time's not mine to give

You, you made the sun rise
