My Time of Day lyrics
by Frank Loesser
[SARAH, spoken]
Thank you for bringing me back
I must have behaved very badly
[SKY, spoken]
No, you were fine
[SARAH, spoken]
What time is it?
[SKY, spoken]
I don't know, 4 o'clock
[SARAH, spoken]
This is your time of day, isn't it?
I'm not usually up this late
[SKY, spoken]
How do you like it?
[SARAH, spoken]
So peaceful and wonderful
[SKY, spoken]
You're finding out something I've known for quite a while
[SKY]
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 rain-washеd pavement
Comes up clеan 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
[SKY, spoken]
Obadiah
[SARAH, spoken]
Obadiah?
What's that?
[SKY, spoken]
Obadiah Masterson
That's my real name
You're the first person I ever told it to
