Paroles
[Verse 1]
It's early in the morning
About a quarter till 3
I'm sitting here talking with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee, now
[Verse 2]
And to tell you that
Darling, I've been so satisfied
Honey, since I've met you
Baby, since I met you, oh
[Verse 3]
All the places that I've been around
And all the good-lookin' girls I've met
They just don't seem to fit in
Knowin' this particular sad, yeah
[Verse 4]
But it seemed so natural, darling
That you and I are here
Just talkin' over cigarettes and drinkin' coffee, oh
[Verse 5]
And my whole heart cries out
Love, at last I've found you, whoa, now
And, honey, won't you let me
Just build my whole life around you?
And, wow, how complete
How complete my whole life would be, yeah
If you would take things under consideration
And walk down this aisle with me
I would love it, yeah
[Verse 6]
Well, I say it's so early in the morning
Ooh, it's a quarter till 3
We're sitting here talkin'
Over cigarettes and drinkin' coffee, now
[Verse 7]
And I like to show you well
I've known nothing but good old joy
Since I met you, darling
Honey, since I've met you, baby, yeah
[Verse 8]
I would love to have another drink of coffee, now
And please, darling
Help me smoke this one more cigarette, now
I don't want no cream and sugar
'Cause I got you now, darling
But just let me enjoy
Help me to enjoy this good time that we'll have, baby
It's so early, so early in the morning
So early, so early in the morning
And I got you
