About A Quarter To Nine 1935 Al Jolson/Ruby Keeler

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 May 2002

Life begins when somebody's eyes
look into your own.
Life begins when you get your gal all 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.
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 you, on needles and pins.
And then the world is gonna be mine,
This evening about a quarter to nine.

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

Life begins when you know that you've
fallen deep in love,
Life begins when a little Cupid's above;
That little rascal's found me,
I heard him say alright,
Don't forget, baby's waiting for you, tonight!

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

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