It's so early in the morning
About a quarter till three
I'm sittin' here talkin' with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee, now

I would like to tell you that
Darling I've been so satisfied
Honey since I met you
Baby, since I've met you

All the places I've been around
And all the good looking boys I've met
They just don't seem to fit in
Knowing this is particularly sad, yeah

But it seemed so natural
Darling, that you and I are here
Just talking over cigarettes
And drinking coffee

And my whole heart cries out
Love at last I've found you
And honey won't you let me, just let me
Build my whole life around you

And how complete, how complete
My whole life would be
If you would take things under consideration
And walk down this aisle with me
I would love it, yeah

It's so early in the morning
It's a quarter till three
We're sittin' here talkin' over cigarettes
And drinking coffee, now, Lord

And would like to tell you, well
I've known nothing but good old joy
Since I met you
Honey since I've met you

I would love to have
Another drink of coffee, now
And please, darling, help me smoke
Just one more cigarette

I don't want no cream and sugar
Because I've got you
Just help me enjoy this good time
That we'll have

It's so early, so early in the morning
So early, so early in the morning
And I've got you and you've got me
And we'll have each other
And we don't, we don't need nothing
But good ole joy
