Stop joking around for one minute I'd rather cry right now And play those sad notes on the piano Let the rest of the band go home
'Cause I'll lead you until morning Please be here until the morning Hold my hand until the morning Brings the light of day to our eyes
And smell the burning leaves in autumn driveways We'll be out on the road to way past supper And leave the lamp lit low beside the window If you can mop up a waterfall
'Cause I'll lead you until morning Please be here until the morning Hold my hand until the morning Brings the light of day to our eyes
Just hop a train, you hate to fly Come see the pictures of my eyes You want to laugh, I want to cry, cry, cry, cry
Please be here until the morning Hold my hand until the morning Chase my fears until the morning Till you promise life Please be here
