Hoagy Carmichael
Two Sleepy People
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, gee, 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, even 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 every last fading star?
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
