Why does it get so late so early
When I'm so in love with you?
We never dance enough,
Don't get the chance enough,
Why honey, we just don't have time to romance enough!

Just think of all those hugs and kisses
That we never will get to!
Why does it get so late so early, honey,
When I'm so in love with you?

Why does it get so late so early
When I'm walkin' home with you?
It may be two or three,
But honey, gosh oh gee!
Tonight's the night,
Tonights the right
Opportunity!

How can I leave you, now of all times,
When my heart's nowhere near through?
Why does it get so late so early, honey,
When I'm so in love with you?

Why does your pa come out a-runnin',
Sayin',"Come now son, skiddoo!"?
Why does it get so late so early, honey,
When I'm so in love with you?
[both]
When I'm so in love with you!
