Lyrics by Kat Edmonson
I’ll take the long way home tonight,
Please don’t wait up I’ll be all right.
Going about my usual day,
I had no idea,
Cupid and fiends had other plans for me,
Now I see.
And so before I call it a day,
I’m making stops along the way,
Well I’ll be laughing with the moon,
And see her delight,
And thanking every little bitty star in sight,
When I take the long way home tonight.
I’ll take the long way home tonight,
Please don’t wait up I’ll be all right,
Going about my usual day,
I had no idea,
Cupid and friends had other plans for me,
Now I see.
And so first before this day is through,
I’ve got some things I gotta do.
Well I’ll be laughing with the moon,
And see her delight,
And thanking every little bitty star in sight,
When I take the long way home tonight.
Well I’ll be winking to the wise owl,
Who always knew,
And babbling with the brook about my love for you,
When I take the long way home tonight.
That’s right when I take the long way home tonight.
