Burning The Toast

(album: Swing - 2003)

The wedding was a small affair
Just a few old friends were there
And they knew that I loved you
When they choked the words "I do"

We found ourselves a two-room flat
Pots and pans and a pussycat
And we cuddle and we coo
Like a couple of lovebirds do

And every morning I'm burning the toast for you
I'm only happy if I'm doing the most I can for you

The coffee's weak, but my love is strong
It's gotta last the whole day long
Till tomorrow morning when the sun comes shining through
And I start all over burning the toast for you

You're sitting in your flannel robe
Smiling as I light the stove
When you call me your sweet miss
I have to stop and steal a kiss

We're settled in our cozy nest
Someday, we swear, we'll get some rest
But as long as love stays true
I'll be burning the toast for you

And every morning I'm burning the toast for you
I'm only happy if I'm doing the most I can for you

The coffee's weak, but my love is strong
It's gotta last the whole day long
Till tomorrow morning when the sun comes shining through
And I start all over burning the toast
I start all over burning the toast for you
