My Cup Runneth Over

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American singer of ballads and a bandleader of the swing era. Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic black male in popular music. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM Pop Single, 1948) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. more »

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!
