Two Sleepy People

Two Sleepy People - Hoagy Carmichael

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 frigid air

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

Your father didn't like you at all

Do you remember

The reason why we married in the fall

To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest

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 don't we look a mess

Lipstick on your collar wrinkles in my dress

Two sleepy people will know very well

They're too much in love to break the spell

Here we are crazy in the head

Gee your eyes are gorgeous even when they're red

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light

And too much in love to say good-night

Do you remember

When we went dancing at the palomar

When it was over

Why naturally we cuddled in the car

So you ran out of gas

And I was green as gas

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
