| Tea For Two
|
| Tony Bennett
|
| (Irving Caesar/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? |
