I'm discontented with homes that are rented so I have invented my own.
Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's weary chase is unknown.
Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the streams,
Cozy to hide in, to live side-by-side in. Don't let it abide in my dreams.
Picture me upon your knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
No friends and relations on weekend vacations,
We won't have it known, that we have a telephone, dear.
Day will break and you'll awake and start to bake
A sugar cake for to take for all the boys to see.
We will raise a family, a boy for you and a girl for me,
Can't you see how happy we would be?
Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations on weekend vacations,
We won't have it known, that we own a telephone, dear.
Day will break and you'll awake and start to bake
A sugar cake for to take for all the boys to see.
We will raise a family, a boy for you and a girl for me,
Can't you see how happy we will be.

This is my first time hearing Jimmy Scott, and I'm grateful for it. His voice is awesome.

Picture this: Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice, perhaps a cigarrette, and this beautiful song... J'aime

Jimmy's phrasing is what all singers should aspire to sing like. Faultless.

I can't stand how good this is!

This is so sweet -- so sultry .. and I agree with "wimpers" -- true masters of timing & tempo ... BRAVO!

Simply fantastic !!
Masters of timing. Sensual tempo.
(Why don't you mention the title of the song in the title? "Tea for two" )
