The Coffee I Never Drank

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some mornings start with coffee And a quiet in the air Some love begins with something You never knew was there I kept walking to her classroom For creamer, so I'd say But I never drank that coffee I just came to see her face [Chorus] Sweet is what I call her Since that soft and gentle kiss Two hearts that had been broken Found their healing in this Emily, you're my morning My hope when skies turn gray I'll love you every sunrise Till my last and final day [Verse 2] We were both in stormy weather Carrying a heavy load You asked me for some workouts So we walked that gym floor road Side by side we got stronger Forgave what we'd been through When your lips met mine so softly I knew I'd marry you [Chorus] Sweet is what I call her Since that soft and gentle kiss Two hearts that had been broken Found their healing in this Emily, you're my morning My hope when skies turn gray I'll love you every sunrise Till my last and final day [Bridge] The day you said you'd marry me I stood ten feet tall And the way you look at me, girl Is still the best of all [Verse 3] Now it's 38 candles And 8 years come November I'm retired from the classroom But there's mornings I remember Every time I pour the creamer In this home that we have made I'm back in that doorway, darlin' Just hoping you would stay [Chorus] Sweet is what I call her Since that soft and gentle kiss Two hearts that had been broken Found a new beginning in this Emily, keep looking my way Like you did back then Happy birthday, my forever I'd fall for you again [Outro] Sweet is what I call her Always has been, always will Emily, on your birthday I'm that coffee boy still
