Lyrics
Here we are, out of cigarettes,
Running out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning; look how late it gets,
Despite being tired and late
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light,
Two people feeling sleepy as dawn approaches
Too much in love to say good-night.
So deeply in love that they don't want to part for the night
Say, here we are, in this cozy chair,
Sitting comfortably together
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire,
Sharing a simple moment, perhaps picking at leftovers
Two sleepy people, with nothing to say,
Both feeling sleepy, lacking conversation
Much to much in love to break away.
Too enamored to break away or end the night
Do you the remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Recalling past moments spent together
Papa didn't like you at all,
An unfavorable impression from someone (Papa)
But I was crazy 'bout you, baby!
Expressing personal infatuation despite external disapproval
Do you remember the reason why we married in the Fall?
Remembering the reason for marriage
To rent this little nest, and get a bit of rest!
Married for a peaceful home and rest
Well, here we are, just about the same,
Reflecting on the present state, possibly unchanged
Gawky little fellow, dizzy little dame,
Describing themselves humorously as awkward
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light,
Repeating the sleepy feeling as dawn arrives
Much to much in love to say good-night.
Still too much in love to bid farewell
Good-night!
Ironically saying goodnight despite not wanting to part
