The days are long when you're away,
My heart and mind agree,
It's time to start in makin' plans
For you and me, baby.
No need for fancy sentiment,
It's plain asd A B C!
I hardly need explain that,
It's quite plain that;

Me minus you
Means just nothin' at all,
But me plus you
Equals love!
Night minus moon
Means no romance at all,
But night plus moon
Equals love!

Won't you hug a little, snug a little closer?
How about that!
Will your answer be a "Yes sir!" or a "No sir!",
Can't you figure out that
Me minus you
Means just nothin' at all,
But me plus you
Equals love?

Me minus you
Means just nothin' at all,
But me plus you
Equals love, nothin' but love!
Night minus moon,
There's no romance at all,
But night plus moon
Equals love!

Won't you hug a little, snug a little closer?
How about that!
Will your answer be a "Yes sir!" or a "No sir!",
Can't you figure out that
Me minus you
Means nothin' at all,
But me plus you
Equals love?
