Two Sleepy People

(album: Crystal Gayle Sings The Heart And Soul Of Hoagy Carmichael - 1999)

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning, look how late it gets
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are, in this 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, he didn't like you at all
He just didn't know me, that's all
Do you 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
Gawky little fellow, drowzy little dame
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say good-night

Do you remember the nights we used to cuddle in the car
Watching every last evening star
And remember the doctor said you'd help me to the car
And you, my little circus but wear 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, too much -in love
Too much -in love to say goodnight
