Lyrics
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 forty five
Refrain
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
Performance
