Cups of Cocoa

[Verse 1] Steam on the window Your hands wrapped round that chipped old mug Laugh lines tracing every story Every scar we learned to love [Chorus] Cups of cocoa Years between us Stirring sugar into time Every winter Same small table I keep falling You stay mine Every wrinkle Every season Melts like snow between our hands Cups of cocoa Quiet promise We still choose the life we planned [Verse 2] You tease me for my trembling fingers Say my hair is turning frost We count friends we only toast now Raise a sip for what we’ve lost [Chorus] [Bridge] Remember when the kids were tiny Marshmallows on every chair You would spill and they’d start laughing Chocolate halos in their hair Now it’s quiet Just the furnace And that tired ticking clock Still your knee finds mine beneath me Like it always did at first [Chorus]
