Don't Wait Up For Me Lyrics

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
