Coffee For Two

Coffee for Two She woke me this morning and softly she said Are you planning on spending the whole day in bed So as I started turning toward her gentle voice I asked her if we really do have that choice She smiled and said it sure sounds good to me But how in the world will we get our coffee I told her that I set up the maker last night And it waits in the kitchen to bring us delight Then I told her that I'd gladly go get us a cup I know it sounds good but we have got to get up She told me she knew but there'd soon be a day When our kids would get older and be moving away Then all of our mornings will be just you and me That’s when I interjected and a pot of coffee She said just imagine and won't it be nice That’s when I offered her a small sacrifice That I'd always bring coffee to lessen the strife Of all of the trouble she puts up with in life
