Two Mugs, One Stack of Books
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
Two mugs on a stack of books
Steam rising while the kettle cooks
No plans made, no clock to mind
Just you and the hush we find

[Chorus]
Valerie, you steady my whole day
Nothing fancy, just you here to stay
Valerie, my heart knows your name well
Some loves shout, but ours can just tell

[Verse 2]
You take the chipped one, leave me the plain
Small kindness, again and again
The pages underneath hold old notes
But it's your laugh that stays and floats

[Pre-chorus]
I never needed the grand gesture
Just your hand and the warm mixture
So let the coffee turn to cold

[Chorus]
Valerie, you steady my whole day
Nothing fancy, just you here to stay
Valerie, my heart knows your name well
Some loves shout, but ours can just tell

[Bridge]
Through the loud years and the still ones too
I'd choose this table, choose this view
Just to sit here, watching you

[Chorus]
Valerie, you steady my whole day
Nothing fancy, just you here to stay
Valerie, my heart knows your name well
Some loves shout, but ours can just tell

[Outro]
Two mugs cooling on those books
This is love in its plainest look
