Lyrics
Every morning at 7am
those water pipes groan
and I hear that shower song
That's my cue to roll out of bed,
stagger downstairs, and turn the coffee on
This dark roast can taste so fine
when the grind is right
and the water pure
With half a cream in your favourite mug
served at the perfect temperature
And I know it's only coffee
but do you like it?
I hope that you can taste the care
I poured into the cup
And I know it's only coffee
but it's the language of love
So let me know - is it the best you've ever had
After work, jump in my car
On my way home now with a couple of stops
Bakery and the deli market and finally
at the wine shop
Spent too much time looking at the labels
of shiraz and cabernet and pinot noir
Picked out this one with just you in mind
I think we had it once at some Parisienne bar
And I know it's only wine
but do you like it?
With hints of old-world earth and sun
and a delicate bouquet
And I know it's only wine
but it's the language of love
So let me know - is it the best you've ever had
In every way these every day
ways to say I love you
mean more than words
And I know it's just a song
but do you like it?
A simple gift of melody
to tell you how I feel
And I know it's just a song
but it's the language of love
So let me know - is it the best you've ever had
Oh tell me tell me tell me,
Tell me how you love it so
Oh go on and tell me tell me tell me,
Tell me how you love it so
