Lyrics Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett

Tea for Two

I’m discontented with homes that are rented

So I have invented my own

Darling, this place is a lover’s oasis

Where life’s weary chase is unknown

Far from the cry of the city

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

Cozy to hide in

To live side by side

Don’t let it abide in my dreams

Picture you upon my knee

Just tea for two and two for tea

Just me for you and you for me

Alone

Nobody near us to see us or hear us

No friends or relations

On weekend vacations

We won’t have it known, dear

That we own a telephone, dear

Day will break and you’ll awake

And start to bake a sugar cake

For me to take for all the boys to see

We will raise a family

A boy for you, a girl for me

Can’t you see how happy we would be
