Two Sleepy People

Two Sleepy People - Klea Blackhurst/Billy Stritch

Well here we are out of cigarettes

Holding hands and yawning

Look how late it gets

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are in the cozy chair

Picking on a wishbone from the frigidaire

Two sleepy people with nothing to say

And too much in love to break away

Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall

Father didn't like you at all

Remember the reason why we married in the fall

To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest

Well here we are just about the same

Foggy little fella drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are she don't we look a mess

Lipstick on my collar and wrinkles in my dress

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are crazy in the head

Gee your eyes are gorgeous specially when they're red

Two sleepy people who know very well

They're too much in love to break the spell

Do you remember the nights

We used to cuddle in the car

Watching each every passing star

And remember the doctor said your health was under par

And you my little snooks were ruining your looks

Well here we are keeping up the pace

Letting each tomorrow slap us in the face

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say goodnight
