April Barrows Burning The Toast
THE WEDDING WAS A SMALL AFFAIR
JUST A FEW OLD FRIENDS WERE THERE
AND I KNEW THAT I LOVED YOU
WHEN YOU CHOKED THE WORDS ' I DO'
WE FOUND OURSELVES A TWO ROOM FLAT
WITH POTS AND PANS AND A PUSSYCAT
AND WE CUDDLE AND WE COO
LIKE A COUPLE OF LOVE BIRDS DO
BRIDGE:
AND EVERY MORNING I'M BURNING THE TOAST FOR YOU
I'M ONLY HAPPY IF I'M DOING THE MOST I CAN FOR YOU
THE COFFEE'S WEAK BUT MY LOVE IS STRONG
IT'S GOT TO LAST THE WHOLE DAY LONG
'TIL TOMORROW MORNING WHEN THE SUN COMES SHINING THROUGH
AND I'LL START ALL OVER BURNING THE TOAST FOR YOU
YOU'RE SITTING IN YOUR FLANNEL ROBE
SMILING AS I LIGHT THE STOVE
AND WHEN YOU CALL ME YOUR 'SWEET MISS'
I HAVE TO STOP AND STEAL A KISS
WE'RE SETTLED IN OUR COZY NEST
SOMEDAY WE SWEAR WE'LL GET SOME REST
BUT AS LONG AS LOVE STAYS TRUE
I'LL BE BURNING THE TOAST FOR YOU
