| Lyrics: | Tea For Two
Tony Bennett
(Irving CaesarVincent Youmans)
I'm discontented with
homes that are rented so I have invented my own.
Darling this place is a lover's oasis where
life's weary chase is unknown.
Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the
streams,
Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in. Don't let it abide in my
dreams.
Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you
and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations on
weekend vacations,
We won't have it known, dear, that we have a telephone, dear.
Day will
break and you'll awake and start to bake
A sugar cake for me to take for all the boys to
see.
We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl for me,
Oh, can't you see how happy life
would be?
You are revealing a plan so appealing I can't help but falling for
you,
Darling, I planned it; can't you understand it is yours to command it, so do.
All of
your schemes I'm admiring, they're worth desiring but can't you see,
I'd like to wait there for
some future date dear;
it won't be too late, dear, for me.
Picture you upon my knee,
just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us,
to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations on weekend vacations,
We won't have it known,
dear, that we have a telephone, dear.
Day will break and you'll awake and start to bake
A
sugar cake for me to take for all the boys to see.
We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl
for me,
Oh, can't you see how happy life would be? |
