Burning The Midnight Oil Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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 

[ fiddle - steel ] 

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
