Version 1
            1938.
I've always thought of this as a Fats Waller song. Apparently more of a male/female duet.

Composed by Hoagy Carmichael, lyrics by Frank Loesser. Here's Hoagy with Ella Logan:

Here's the Hoagy version of the 2nd brdge. He plays a line of Stardust, which he wrote, in it.
Do you remember when we went dancing at (the Palomar/Winter Park)?
(stardust excerpt)
When it was over why naturally we cuddled in the car
(So you ran out of gas, and I was green as grass  /
 and when your car broke down, we walked back to town)

C13sus4 x33335  C9sus4 x33333

[Intro]

F/A Abdim Gm7 C13sus4 C9sus4

[Verse]

F/A     Abdim  Gm7        C13sus4
Here we are,   out of cigarettes,
F/A               Adim     Gm7              C9
Holding hands and yawning, look how late it gets.
Am7        D7-9      Gm7          Bbm6
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light,
    Am7 D7-9    G13     G7+5    Gm7  Caug
And too much in love to say goodnight.

[Verse]

F/A     Abdim  Gm7         C13sus4
Here we are,   in the cozy chair,
F/A          Adim     Gm7            C9
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire;
Am7        D7-9        Gm7        Bbm6
Two sleepy people with nothing to say,
    Am7 D7-9    G13     C7     F   Bb6/C F
And too much in love to break away.

[Bridge]

         Bb
Do you remember
    C7                F      C7     F
the nights we used to linger in the hall?
     F      A7+5   Dm7        G13 G7+5 C9
Your Father didn't like me at all.
         F
Do you remember
    C7            F       A7     Dm7
the reason why we married in the fall?
   G13       G7+5   G7        C7           Caug
To rent this little nest, and get a bit of rest.

[Verse]

      F/A     Abdim  Gm7           C13sus4
Well, here we are,   just about the same,
F/A          Adim   Gm7           C9
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame;
Am7         D7-9      Gm7          Bbm6
Two  sleepy people by dawn's early light,
    Am7 D7-9    G13     C7      F     Bb  F
And too much in love to say goodnight.

(solos)

[Verse]

F/A     Abdim  Gm7             C13sus4
Here we are,   don't we look a mess
F/A            Adim    Gm7              C9
Lipstick on my collar, Wrinkles in your dress
Am7        D7-9        Gm7       Bbm6
Two sleepy people, who know very well
        Am7 D7-9    G13     G7+5      Gm7  Caug
They're too much in love to break the spell

[Verse]

F/A     Abdim  Gm7      C13sus4
Here we are,   crazy in head
F/A                 Adim      Gm7               C9
Gee you're eyes are gorgeous, even when they're red
Am7        D7-9       Gm7          Bbm6
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
    Am7 D7-9    G13     C7      F     Bb  F
And too much in love to say goodnight

[Bridge]

         Bb
Do you remember
    C7                F      C7     F
the nights we used to cuddle in the car
F        A7+5  Dm7         G13 G7+5 C9
Watching every last fading star
F              C7               F          A7    Dm7
Remember   the doctor said your health was under par
    G13    G7+5   G7           C7           Caug
And you my little snooks, were ruining your looks

[Verse]

F/A     Abdim  Gm7            C13sus4
Here we are    keeping up the pace
F/A          Adim     Gm7            C9
Letting each tomorrow slap us in the face
Am7        D7-9       Gm7          Bbm6
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
    Am7 D7-9    G13     C7      F     C7   F
And too much in love to say goodnight good night
