About a Quarter To Nine
Dorothy and Peggy:
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 waitin' where the lane begins,
Waitin' for you on needles and pins.
And then the world is gonna be mine,
This evening, about a quarter to nine.

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 you on needles and pins.
And then the world is gonna be mine,
This evening, about a quarter to nine.
