Den Miller - The First Cup Of Tea Lyrics

Awaking to another day on planet Earth and I am still
Attempting unconvincingly to coax myself to think there will
Be just a little progress up this steep and slippery hill
What I need is a cup of tea
Life just seems relentless as another day kicks in with dread
And all this doom and gloom is clouding all the light that's in my head
It takes resolve and strength to even get up out of bed
What I need is a cup of tea
And the first cup of tea in the morning's what I need
To help me face the day and to remind me to believe
That all hope has not dried up as long as I still live and breathe
And I swear, oh my darling
That if you stick by me
I will always try to be
Your first cup of tea in the morning
A cup of tea with friends or family catching up with all the news
Or squeezing in a break from work with one of its refreshing brews
But if I had one teabag left, first thing is what I'd choose
Cos then what I need is a cup of tea
There is a reason why after the first slurp people give a sigh
It's not the chemicals inside, it's more the promise they imply
That life could be this good if only briefly then goodbye
What I need is a cup of tea
And the first cup of tea in the morning's what I need
To help me face the day and to remind me to believe
That all hope has not dried up as long as I still live and breathe
And I swear, oh my darling
That if you stick by me
I will always try to be
Your first cup of tea in the morning
And the first cup of tea in the morning's what I need
To help me face the day and to remind me to believe
That all hope has not dried up as long as I still live and breathe
And I swear, oh my darling
That if you stick by me
I will always try to be
Your first cup of tea in the morning
As long as you're with me
I will always try to be
Your first cup of tea in the morning
