Life begins when somebody's eyes look into your own
Life begins when you've got your gal al alone
From morning until twilight, I don't know I'm alive
But I know love begins at eight fortyfive
The stars are gonna twinkle and shine
This evening about a quarter to nine
My lovin' arms are gonna' tenderly twine
Around you around a quarter to nine
Bridge
I know I won't be late 'cause at half past eight
I'm gonna hurry there
I'll be waiting where the lane begins
Waiting for her on needles and pins
And then the world is gonna be mine
This evening about a quarter to nine
