Tea for Two Songtext
von Bobby Short

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 busy chase is unknown
Far from the noise of the city
Where flowers pretty grow by the streams
Some place to hide in, to live side by side in
Don't let it abide in my dreams


Picture you upon my knee
With tea for two and two for tea
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 make it known, dear, that we own 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
Can′t you see how happy we will be?

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
Can′t you see how happy we will be?
