"Cigarettes and Coffee"

It's early in the morning

About a quarter 'til three

I'm sittin' here talkin' with my baby

Over cigarettes and coffee, now

And to tell you that

Darling, I've been so satisfied

Honey, since I met you

Baby, since I met you, oh

All the places that I've been around

And all the good looking girls I've met

They just don't seem to fit in

Knowing it's particularly sad, yeah

But it seemed so natural, darling

That you and I are here

Just talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee, oh

And oh, my heart cries out

Love at last I've found you, oh

And honey, won't you let me?

Just build my whole life around you?

And while how complete

How complete my whole life would be, yeah

If you would take things under consideration

And walk down this aisle with me

And I would love it, yeah

People, I say it's so early in the morning

Ooh, it's a quarter 'til three

We're sittin' here talkin'

Over cigarettes and drinking coffee, now, Lord

And I'll like to show you, well

I've known nothing, but good old joy

Since I met you, darling

Honey, since I've met you, baby, yeah

I would love to have another drink of coffee, now

And please, darling, help me smoke this one more cigarette, now

I don't want no cream and sugar

'Cause I've got you now, darling

But just let me enjoy, help me to enjoy

This good time that we'll have, baby

It's so early, so early in the morning

So early, so early in the morning

And I've got you and you've got me

And we'll have each other

And we don't, and we don't want nothing but joy, y'all

Nothing but joy
