I'll take the long way home tonight Please don't wake up I'll be alright Going about my usual day, I had no idea Cupid and friends 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 in sea of 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 wake up I'll be alright 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've gotta do Well I'll be laughing with the moon in sea of 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, tonight When I, take the long way home tonight
