She: Here we are, out of cigarettes
He: Holding hands and yawning,
Look how late it gets.
She: Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light,
And too much in love to say goodnight.
Here we are, in the cozy chair.
He: Picking on a wish bone from the Frigidaire.
Two sleepy people with nothing to say.
She: And too much in love to break away.
He: Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall.
She: Father didn’t like you at all.
Do you remember the reason why we married in the Fall?
He: To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest.
She: Here we are, just about the same,
Foggy little fella
He: Drowsy little dame.
Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light,
And too much in love to say goodnight.

She: Here we are, don’t we look a mess?
He: Lipstick on my collar
She: Wrinkles in my dress.
Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light,
And too much in love to say goodnight.
He: Here we are, crazy in the head.
Gee your eyes are gorgeous, even when they’re red.
Two sleepy people who know very well
She: They’re too much in love to break the spell.
He: Do you remember the nights we used to cuddle in the car, watching ev’ry last fading star?
She: And remember the doctor said your health was under par.
He: And you, my little snooks, were ruining your looks.
She: Well, here we are, keeping up the pace
He: Letting each tomorrow slap us in the face.
Both: Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light,
And too much in love to say goodnight.
