Green Mug
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
The mug sits green on all that mail
Bills I keep meaning to sort better
Some things I never get around to
Loving you, I never need a letter

[Chorus]
Etta, you're the calm in my whole day
You make the hard parts feel much lighter
Every room feels right when you're in it
Etta, you're the one who makes things brighter

[Verse 2]
You leave your coffee going cold
Too busy listening to my chatter
I used to think small things meant nothing
Now I know it's all that matters

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted every way I need you
None of them add up to clever
But my heart keeps doing the same sum

[Chorus]
Etta, you're the calm in my whole day
You make the hard parts feel much lighter
Every room feels right when you're in it
Etta, you're the one who makes things brighter

[Bridge]
No grand words, no perfect setter
Just this life, and you, and me
Steadier than any letter
Simple as a cup of tea

[Chorus]
Etta, you're the calm in my whole day
You make the hard parts feel much lighter
Every room feels right when you're in it
Etta, you're the one who makes things brighter

[Outro]
The mug still sits there, green and steady
Like you, love, always here, already
