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
Guess we oughta leave it, but we’re staying there
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
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, doing just the same
Drowsy little fellow, dizzy little dame
Two sleepy people, by dawn’s early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

[Instrumental break]

Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
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, well
Here we are, just where we began
Drowsy little lady, dozy little man
Two sleepy people, by dawn’s early light
And too much in love to say goodnight
