[DOROTHY]

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

[DOROTHY (PEGGY)]

His lovin' arms (His lovin' arms)

Are gonna tenderly twine (Are gonna tenderly twine)

[DOROTHY & PEGGY]

Around me, around a quarter to nine

[DOROTHY]

I know I won't be late

'Cause at half past eight

I'm gonna be 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

[DOROTHY & PEGGY]

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

[PEGGY]

Nine
