lyrics

Two Sleepy People
Frank Loesser, Hoagy Carmichael

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and talking, see how late it gets
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good night.

Here we are in a cozy chair
Munchin’ on a wishbone from the Frigidaire
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good night.

Do you remember the way we used to linger in the hall?
Mm-hmm, your daddy didn't like it, at all
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
To find this little nest and get a piece of rest.

Well, here we are, just about the same
Drowsy little fella, Dizzy little dame
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good night.
