My Time of Day (I've Never Been In Love Before) from Guys and Dolls
What time is it?
I don't know, 4 o'clock?
This is your time of day isn't it?
I've never been up this late before
How do you like it?
It's so peaceful and wonderful
You're finding out something I've know for quite a while
My time of day is the dark time
A couple of deals before dawn
When the street belongs to the cop
And the janitor with the mop
And the grocery clerks are all gone
When the smell of the rainwashed pavement
Comes up clean, and fresh, and cold
And the streetlamp light
Fills the gutter with gold
That's my time of day
My time of day
And you're the only doll
I've ever wanted to share it with me
Obidiah
Obidiah, what's that?
Obidiah Masterson
That's my real name
You're the first person I've ever told it to
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
But I've really never been in love before
I don't know, 4 o'clock?
This is your time of day isn't it?
I've never been up this late before
How do you like it?
It's so peaceful and wonderful
You're finding out something I've know for quite a while
My time of day is the dark time
A couple of deals before dawn
When the street belongs to the cop
And the janitor with the mop
And the grocery clerks are all gone
When the smell of the rainwashed pavement
Comes up clean, and fresh, and cold
And the streetlamp light
Fills the gutter with gold
That's my time of day
My time of day
And you're the only doll
I've ever wanted to share it with me
Obidiah
Obidiah, what's that?
Obidiah Masterson
That's my real name
You're the first person I've ever told it to
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before

I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before

And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
But I've really never been in love before
