lyrics

SOFT AND TENDER
YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO ME
SOFT AND TENDER
YOU’RE THE ULTIMATE APPEAL
DIVINE AND REAL
SOFT AS SILK OR LACE
YOU ARE ALL THE SPICE IN MY TEA
POUR ANOTHER BREW FOR ME
WHEN I’M NEXT TO YOU
I LOVE TO DRINK THE VIEW
OH SO VERY SILENTLY

COOL AND GENTLE
IN THE MORNING LIGHT WITH YOU
COOL AND GENTLE
YOU ARE EVERYTHING
THAT ANY FOREIGN LAND COULD BE
YOU ARE THE WORLD TO ME
NEVER SAY YOU WILL OR YOU WON’T
PROMISES ARE NOT THE POINT
OF LOVING YOU THIS WAY
THEY CAN NEVER SAY
WHAT LOVE CAN SAY SO SILENTLY

AHH AHH

YOU ARE ALL THE SPICE IN MY TEA
POUR ANOTHER BREW FOR ME
WHEN I’M NEXT TO YOU
I LOVE TO DRINK THE VIEW
OH SO VERY SILENTLY
SILENTLY
LOVE ME IN THE SILENCE THAT YOU BREATHE
