Coffee in the Morning

i’m not much the morning person
i’ve always preferred to sleep in
but lately i’m awake before that alarm clock starts to buzzin’
’cause i know that you’re beside me
and if we get up a little early
we can have coffee in the morning and watch the sun come up together

no we don’t usually say much
we sip slow and wipe the sleep away
from our eyes while trading tired, sideways smiles with one another
and the time it seems to fly by
but the day is always better
when we have coffee in the morning and watch the sun come up together

and i’m not sure how the angels spend their afternoons and evenings up in heaven
but i bet they start their day out gathered ’round a big white table having coffee in
the morning watchin’ the sun come up at seven

i’ve been thinking ’bout the way
you moan and groan while you’re still wakin’ up
and the way you like your coffee a little cream and extra sugar
and i was wondering maybe if you don’t have any other plans
will you have coffee in the morning and watch the sun come up with me forever
