About a Quarter to Nine

About a Quarter to Nine - Nelson Riddle/Jack Marshall/Bob Thompson/Dick Reynolds

Life begins when somebody's eyes

Look into your own

Life begins when you get

Your gal all alone

From morning until twilight

I don't know I'm alive

But I know love begins at 8 45

The stars are gonna twinkle and shine

This evening about a quarter to nine

My loving arms are going to tenderly twine

Around you around a quarter to nine

I know I won't be late

'Cause at half past eight

I'm going to hurry there

I'll be waiting where the lane begins

Waiting for you on needles and pins

And then the world

Is going to be mine

This evening about a quarter to nine

I know I won't be late

'Cause at half past eight

I'm going to hurry there

I'll be waiting where the lane begins

Waiting for you on needles and pins

And then the world

Is going to be mine

This evening the world is going to be mine

Everything will be fine
