The Genius Of Bud Powell: Tea For Two (Take 6) |
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? |
