Song | Tea for Two |
Artist | Stéphane Grappelli |
Album | Limehouse Blues |
Lyrics:Irving Caesar Music:Vincent 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? |
