Two Sleepy People
Words & Music by Frank Loesser & Hoagy Carmichael
Recorded by Bing Crosby*, 1944
G F#7 Am7 D9 D7
Here we are, out of cigarettes,
G G/F# E7 C Cdim
Holding hands and yawning -- look how late it gets.
GM7 G6 E7 C Am7 Cm7
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light,
G Edim Am7 Cdim G Am7 - D7
And too much in love to say goodnight.
G F#7 Am7 D7
Here we are, in the cozy chair,
G E7 C Cdim
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire;
GM7 G6 E7 C Am7 Cm7
Two sleepy people with nothing to say,
G Edim Am7 Cdim G
And too much in love to break away.
Bridge:
G G9 G C D9 D7 G G/F# Em
Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Em7 C C/B D9 D7 G
Your Father didn't like me at all.
D7 G C D9 D7 C C/B Am7 G
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
C E7 A7 D7
To rent this little nest, and get a bit of rest.
G F#7 Am7 D7
Well, here we are, just about the same,
G E7 C Cdim
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame;
GM7 G6 E7 C Am7 Cm7
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light,
G Edim Am7 Cdim G Am7 G
And too much in love to say goodnight.
