lyrics

LYRICS
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 out to leave it but we're staying ther
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 did not 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 were we began
Drowsy little lady, dosey mister man
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight
