《Tea & Toast》歌词

[00:00:00] Tom was born in 1942

[00:00:02] With eyes of blue

[00:00:04] And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast

[00:00:12] His heart stopped twice

[00:00:13] But yet he survived

[00:00:14] As he took his first breathe

[00:00:15] His mother took her last

[00:00:22] And his father knew that he wasn't to blame

[00:00:25] But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that

[00:00:33] And he rarely spoke about her

[00:00:35] But when he did

[00:00:37] He said your mother used to say this

[00:00:43] "When the skies are looking bad my dear

[00:00:46] And your heart has lost all it's hope

[00:00:49] After dawn there will be sunshine

[00:00:51] And all the dust will go

[00:00:54] Skies will clear my darling

[00:00:57] I'll wake up with the one I love the most

[00:00:59] And in the morning I'll make you up

[00:01:04] With some tea and toast"

[00:01:10] When we met through a friend

[00:01:12] Who introduced them

[00:01:13] The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance

[00:01:21] They moved with each other and when the music got slower

[00:01:25] He said don't let go of my hand

[00:01:31] He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight

[00:01:34] Would it be alright if I could walk you home

[00:01:42] That night he told of of his birth

[00:01:44] And said when it hurt

[00:01:45] He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast

[00:01:53] Two quick years went by

[00:01:55] They were side by side

[00:01:58] And without a plan they conceived a little child

[00:02:03] He said women I love you and this you know

[00:02:06] But I only have enough for our food and clothes

[00:02:09] But I love you and this baby

[00:02:10] Until the day that I die

[00:02:14] She said we'll take care of this little life

[00:02:17] And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes

[00:02:20] And we'll be alright from some advice that I know

[00:02:25] She said I never got to meet her

[00:02:27] But if I did I'm sure your mother would have said this

[00:02:36] "When the skies are looking bad my dear

[00:02:38] And your heart has lost all it's hope

[00:02:41] After dawn there will be sunshine

[00:02:43] And all the dust will go

[00:02:46] Skies will clear my darling

[00:02:49] We'll show this baby all the love we know

[00:02:51] And in the morning I'll make you up

[00:02:55] With some tea and toast"

[00:03:02] Well he took those words

[00:03:03] And he made them proud

[00:03:05] He worked day after day

[00:03:06] And hour after hour

[00:03:07] So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town

[00:03:13] The little girl grew up and so did they

[00:03:15] They said that they loved each other everyday

[00:03:18] And forty years later that brings us to now

[00:03:23] And as they're walking down the street

[00:03:25] Her grip loosens on his hand

[00:03:26] He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground

[00:03:29] He hears her breathing and that's the only sound

[00:03:34] Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd

[00:03:36] Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go now"

[00:03:45] And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward

[00:03:47] Their daughter walks in with a family of her own

[00:03:55] She says "dad I don't know if she can hear you now

[00:03:58] But there's one thing mum would want you to know"

[00:04:06] When the skies are looking bad my dear

[00:04:09] And your heart has lost all it's hope

[00:04:11] After dawn there will be sunshine

[00:04:14] And all the dust will go

[00:04:17] Skies will clear my darling

[00:04:19] Now it's time for you to let go

[00:04:22] I go wake you up in the mornin' with some tea and toast
