Tea for Two - Jane Monheit

I’m discontented with homes that are rented

And so I’ve 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 breeze

Lovely to hide in, to live side by side in

Don’t let it abide in my dreams

Picture me, upon your knee

Just 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 have it known that we own a telephone

Day will break and you will wake

And I will bake a sugarcake

For you 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
