DAY ISN'T LONG ENOUGH, THE
Carey / Howard

as rec by The Four Freshmen  
Sep 29th 1952 Chicago


The day isn't long enough
When I'm with you!
The day isn't long enough
With hours so few!
There should be more
Than twenty four
When lips have so much to say!
Why must the night
Offer delight,
Then run away?

The thrill of your sweet caress
Should linger on,
But just when there's happiness,
The day is all gone!
We say hello,
And it's time to go
Before a kiss is through;
The day isn't long enough
When I'm with you!

The thrill of your sweet caress
Should linger on,
But just when there's happiness,
The day is all gone!
We say hello,
And it's time to go
Before a kiss is through;
The day isn't long enough
When I'm with you, with you!
