MY TIME OF DAY

from "Guys And Dolls" 1950 musical New York
Frank Loesser 1950

as recorded by Mel Torme


My time of day is the dark time,
A couple o' deals before dawn,
When the street belongs to the cop
And the janitor with a mop,
And the grocery clerks are all gone.

When the smell of the rain washed pavement
Comes up clean and fresh and cold,
And the street lamplight fills the gutter with gold;
That's my time of day,
My time of day,
And you're the only girl I've ever wanted to share it with me,
With me!
