Don't Wait Up For Me

Oh, please put down your knitting
'cause you can't close your eyes
Lay down on your bed instead of sitting
Listen to a little lullaby
And you can't close the pages
The Only thing that's keeping you awake
You know cause I might be awhile now
So tell me how much you can take
And I know
that it's not right
To keep you waiting there so long
And I know
that you've been busyin' yourself
while I've been gone
So don't wind up that grandfather clock
and don't wait up for me
Oh, I might stay a little longer
You know it's hard to fight that feeling
To know that you might get too tired
You know it's hard to fight that feeling too
And I know
that it's not right
To keep you waiting there so long
And I know
that you've been busyin' yourself
while I've been gone
So don't wind up that grandfather clock
and don't wait up for me
No, I think I've finally found it
Someplace I would rather be
There's no other way around it
No, no...
Oh, and we can go about our business
And act as if we never met
And you can ask for my forgiveness
But don't expect me to forget
And I know
that it's not right
To keep you waiting there so long
And I know
that you've been busyin' yourself
while I've been gone
So don't wind up that grandfather clock
and don't wait up for me
