[Intro] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Morning light upon the table, Steam was rising from the cup, You were sitting by the window, I was always in a rush. You would ask me how I was doing, I would say, “I'm doing fine,” Never knowing those quiet mornings Would become the best of mine. [Chorus] If I could have one more cup of tea, One more morning, just you and me, I wouldn't look at the clock, I wouldn't hurry out the door, I'd sit and listen like I never did before. We'd talk about the weather, Or whatever came to be... Oh, I'd give the world For one more cup of tea. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] There were stories I had heard before, And stories I never heard, Little things about your younger days, Every ordinary word. You would smile and shake your head When I said I had to go, I thought I'd hear those stories again, I didn't know I wouldn't know. [Chorus] If I could have one more cup of tea, One more morning, just you and me, I'd put my phone away, I'd let the whole world wait, And stay beside you just a little longer. We'd talk about the old days, The people we used to see... Oh, I'd give the world For one more cup of tea. [Bridge] Funny how we chase tomorrow, Thinking yesterday can wait, Never knowing some small moments Are the ones that make a life. I would trade a thousand mornings For the one I didn't see— That the cup you placed before me Was a gift you gave to me. [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] If I could have one more cup of tea, One more morning, just you and me, I'd tell you what I should have told you, I'd thank you for the life you gave. And when the tea grew cold between us, I wouldn't mind at all... I'd just sit there beside you And listen to it all. [Outro] Morning light upon the table, Steam rising slowly in the air... Sometimes I close my eyes And almost find you there. So if tomorrow comes too quickly, I'll remember what you taught me... Don't hurry through the moments That you think will always be. Just sit down... Stay awhile... And have one more cup of tea.
