[Verse 1] When the dawn comes pale and slow I reach for the tin by the stove You pour like a memory Dark as a penny, sweet as a dream [Verse 2] On a chipped white cup in my hand You make this hard old world understand The day can be rough, I know But one good sip and I can go [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer, dear Let the whole room disappear Nothing else will do me right Till that brown dawn fills my sight [Chorus] Coffee, coffee, stay with me Coffee, coffee, sets me free Warm my hands, steady my heart Keep my world from falling apart Coffee, coffee, morning song Coffee, coffee, all day long One more cup, then I can see How sweet this life was meant to be [Verse 3] At the corner table, slow I watch the good old minutes go Your little steam, it curls and climbs Like a tune I know from better times [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer, dear Let the whole room disappear Nothing else will do me right Till that brown dawn fills my sight [Chorus] Coffee, coffee, stay with me Coffee, coffee, sets me free Warm my hands, steady my heart Keep my world from falling apart Coffee, coffee, morning song Coffee, coffee, all day long One more cup, then I can see How sweet this life was meant to be [Bridge] If the rain taps hard outside And the road is long and wide I don't need gold or a shiny key Just that little cup beside me [Final Chorus] Coffee, coffee, stay with me Coffee, coffee, sets me free Warm my hands, steady my heart Keep my world from falling apart Coffee, coffee, morning song Coffee, coffee, all day long One more cup, then I can see How sweet this life was meant to be
