My Cup Runneth Over

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

Sometimes in the morning when shadows are deep,

I lie here beside you, just watching you sleep,

And sometimes I whisper what I'm thinking of,

My cup runneth over with love,

Sometimes in the ev'ning when you do not see,

I study the small things you do constantly,

I memorize moments that I'm fondest of,

My cup runneth over with love,

In only a moment we both will be old,

We won't even notice the world turning cold,

And so in this moment with sunlight above,

My cup runneth over with love.

With love!
