lyrics
The moon’s a ghost in the blue Not a cloud in sight; the heat is still here too Church bells ring; we all count to eight It’s starting to get late; what to do? The stars come out in the east One by one they blink; the sky’s still pink in the west Wine bottle empty on the grass But we all have a glass, and it’s full And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer The solar lights have come on Twinkling in the tree; it means there’s no more sun Church bells from far across the town Chime in their countdown; one to nine But it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer It’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer Summer won’t be here forever; autumn will creep up on us before we know And let’s make the most of the summer by staying out here And this is twilight now Flower colours dim; they seem larger somehow Ten chimes; or was it eleven? Or even more again? We don’t know. ‘Cause it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer.
