Gordon Lightfoot
Second Cup of Coffee
[Verse 1]
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day
I'm thinkin' of the lady who got lost along the way
And if I don't stop this tremblin' hand from reachin' for the phone
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done

[Verse 2]
I'm on my second cup of coffee, I still can't face the day
The room was filled with laughs as we sang the night away
But my sleep was filled with dreaming of the wrongs that I had done
The gentle sweet reminder of a daughter and a son

[Bridge]
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
You never know when they'll come droppin' in
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
Too young to understand how love begins

[Verse 3]
I'm on my second cup of coffee, I still can't face the dawn
The radio is playin' a soft country song
And if I don't stop this tremblin' hand from reachin' for the phone
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done

[Bridge]
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
They never were around when I needed them
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
Too young to understand how love begins
[Verse 1]
I'm on my second cup of coffee, I still can't face the day
I'm thinkin' of the lady who got lost along the way
And if I don't stop this tremblin' hand from reachin' for the phone
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done
And if I don't stop this tremblin' hand from reachin' for the phone
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done
