Two Sleepy People Songtext
von Helen Forrest with Artie Shaw

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 good night


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?
Papa 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
Gawky little fellow, drousy little dame
Two sleepy people, by dawn′s early light
And too much in love to say good night
