Coffee my Love- Lyrics & Music- Ira and Julia Levin
© 2010 The Levins
I’d like to see you, early in the morning.
I like to hold out, hold out till noon.
I might go crazy, crazy if I see you.
I might go crazy if I see you too soon.
But it’s a love affair, when your perfume’s in the air
I love this love affair, you perk me up! Oh!
Pre-chorus:
Coffee, you’re my cure-all, you’re my panacea paramour.
An ounce of hope in every cup, you pick me up from shore to shore.
If I never had another sip from today, I would love you – ever more.
Chorus: Coffee my love, black as the night.
You make me- bright as the sun- ar-o-matic delight!
If I’m on the run or at my leisure, it’s a pleasure to be together.
It’s a pleasure to be together. Do- doo do dooo. Do Do Do Dooo Do Doo Dooo.
When we meet at your house, atmosphere is everything.
Linger over Whitman while the songwriter sings.
At the diner in a booth, at a counter in Deluth,
Local history as decure, beehive waitress: Want some more?
At the café, you and I will steal away. Grab a quick bite, catch up with friends,
Find time to write for hours on end…Oh.. Pre-chorus/Chorus but after… ‘It’s a
pleasure to be together’ the 2nd time straight into:
Viennese is such a tease, Costa Rica love to see you; Fly to Paris- sit outside,
Go to
Venice- take a ride, why Rome? When we can make our own at home?
Pre-chorus/ Chorus
It’s a pleasure to be together.
