Lyrics Two Sleepy People (with Hoagy Carmichael) - Carmichael, Ella Logan

Two Sleepy People (with 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
Pickin' 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?
Your father didn’t like me at 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
Foggy little fella
Drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light
And too much in love to say goodnight
(Instrumental)
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
Another verse (not present in the above recording):
Do you remember the nights we used to cuddle in the car?
Watching every last falling star
Do you remember the doctor said my health was under par?
And you my little schnooks
Were ruining your looks… so
Here we are… keeping up the pace
Letting each tomorrow slap us in the face
Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light
Much too much in love to say goodnight.
