Two Cups Gone Cold
Style: Doo wop

[Verse 1]
Two dictionaries open on the table
Steam still rising, though we're barely able
To look up words when you're this near
Every meaning gets lost right here

[Pre-chorus]
The tea went cold an hour ago
We didn't notice, didn't care to know
Something's building and I want you to see

[Chorus]
Lilian, you're the finest thing I've found
Worth a million, steady, safe and sound
Lilian, hear it plain and hear it true
There's nobody I'd rather sit with than you

[Verse 2]
You trace the page with one slow finger
Some quiet words just linger and linger
I watch you more than I watch the book
There's poetry in the way you look up

[Bridge]
No fancy words could say it clearer
You make the whole wide world feel nearer
Simple as tea and simple as light
You're the calm at the centre of my night

[Chorus]
Lilian, you're the finest thing I've found
Worth a million, steady, safe and sound
Lilian, hear it plain and hear it true
There's nobody I'd rather sit with than you

[Outro]
The books stay open, the tea stays cold
Nothing here needs to be told
