About a Quarter to Nine

Life begins when somebody's eyes look into your own
 Life begins when you get your guy all alone
 From morning until twilight
 I don't know I'm alive
 But I know love begins at eight forty-five
 The stars are gonna twinkle and shine
 This evening
 About a quarter to nine
 His lovin' arms (His lovin' arms)
 Are gonna tenderly twine (Are gonna tenderly twine)
 Around me, around a quarter to nine
 I know I won't be late
 'Cause at half past eight
 I'm gonna be there
 I'll be waiting where the lane begins
 Waiting for him on needles and pins
 And then the world is gonna be mine
 This evening, around a quarter to nine
 I know I won't be late
 'Cause at half past eight
 I'm gonna hurry there
 I'll be waitin' where the lane begins
 Waitin' for him on needles and pins
 And then the world is gonna be mine
 This evening, around a quarter to
 Nine
