About a Quarter To Nine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
ONE, TWO, THREE!
The stars
Are gonna twinkle and shine
This evenin'
'bout a quarter to nine.
My lovin' arms
Are gonna tenderly twine
This evenin' around you
Quarter to nine.
I know I won't be late
'cause at half past eight
I'll be waitin' there
I'll be waitin' where the lane begins
Waitin' for you on needles and pins.
And then …
The world is gonna be mine
This evenin'
'bout a quarter to nine.
Get it!
Ahhh, Ah …
Oh!
Oh, the stars
Are gonna twinkle and shine
This very evenin'
'bout a quarter to nine.
Both these lovin' arms
Are gonna tenderly twine
All around you
'round a quarter to nine.
I know I won't be late
'cause at half-past eight
I will hurry there
I'm gonna be waitin' where the lane begins
Waitin' on you on needles and pins.
And then …
This world is gonna be mine
This evenin'
'bout a quarter to nine!
Thank you …
