Two cups on th’ table, (mmm-yeah) One chipped, still able, (uh-huh, darlin’) Steam’s risin’, hymn-like in th’ mornin’ air— Curt’ns sway, th’ sunshine play, time feels fair. Cups an’ quiet mornin’s, darlin’, hold me near, (oh-oh!) Time keeps pourin’ faster—but you’re still here. Little sips o’ forever, in a faded china shine Love tastes stronger than any ol’ wine. (mmm, tha’s right) Silv’r spoon rattlin’—like a church bell song, (uh-huh) We hum along, right ‘r wrong… (sing it now, yeah!) Ev’ry spill, ev’ry stain— Still we stay, through joy, through pain. Ooooh, baby, time won’t wait— But here at this table, we set our fate. Knives on th’ counter, forks in a line, Ord’nary mornin’s turn holy, divine. (yeah-yeah!) Cups an’ quiet mornin’s, darlin’, hold me near, (mmm-hmm) Time keeps pourin’ faster—but you’re still here. Little sips o’ forever, in a faded china shine, Love tastes sweeter than any ol’ wine. ”Oh yes it does! uh-huh” Cups an’ quiet mornin’s, I’m thankful ev’ry day, (hallelujah!) Even as th’ hours, they fade away. Forever in th’ kitchen, with yer hand in mine, Love gets sweeter—just like good ol’ wine. ”Mmm, tha’s right! That chipped ol’ cup… still holds ‘nough… Fer me an’ you… Cups an’ quiet mornin’s… darlin’, always true.
