BURNING THE TOAST
(April Barrows)


Suzy Bogguss - 2003



The wedding was a small affair
Just a few old friends were there
And I knew that I loved you
When you took the words "I do"

We found ourselves a two-room flat
Pots and pans and a pussycat
And we cuddle and we coo
Like a couple of lovebirds do

And every mornin' I'm burnin' the toast for you
I'm only happy if I'm doin' the most I can for you

The coffee's weak, but the love is strong
It's gotta last the whole day long
Till tomorrow mornin' when the sun comes shinin' through
And I start all over burnin' the toast for you

(Instrumental Break)

You're sitting in your flannel robe
Smilin' 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 burnin' the toast for you

And every mornin'g I'm burnin' the toast for you
I'm only happy if I'm doin' the most I can for you

The coffee's weak, but my love is strong
It's gotta last the whole day long
Till tomorrow mornin' when the sun comes shinin' through
And I start all over burnin' the toast
I start all over burnin' the toast for you
