Two Sleepy People

Fats Waller

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

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
