(Porter Wagoner)

Here we sit lookin' at each other
Seems we're at a loss for what to say
Ties bind us both with someone else
We don't want to hurt but we must break away.

And tonight I'll sit home a thinking
And tonight I'll sit home a drinking
We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all
Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil.

--- Instrumental ---

Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place
Where love and desires just won't wait
In each other's arms we'll dream for a little while
Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild.

And tonight again I'll sit home a thinking
And tonight I'll sit home a drinking
We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all
Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil.

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil...
This song is from the album "The Right Combination (wPorter Wagoner) [RCA Victo", "Two of a Kind (Dolly & Porter) [Pair]" and "Platinum & Gold Collection [BMG Heritage]".
