Don Williams - Cup O' Tea Lyrics






I don't want to be the fiery sun
I just want to be your candle, honey
I just want to be your candle, baby
Let the sun shine on.

I don't want to be like the deep blue sea
I just want to be your cup 'o tea
I just want to be your cup 'o tea
Let the sea rage on.

Let the waves roll and pound
Let the sun burn the ground
Let this old world roll around
I'll be happy to have your lovin'.

I don't want to be like a big freight train
I just want to be your walking cane
I just want to be your walking cane
You can lean on me.

I don't want to be like a bird in the air
I just want to be your rocking chair
I just want to be your rocking chair
Baby, sit by me.

Let the trains roll on by
Leave it up to the birds to fly
'Long as you say you'll be mine
I'll be happy to have your lovin'

I don't want to be like the deep blue sea
I just want to be your cup 'o tea
I just want to be your cup 'o tea
Let the sea rage on...

    Love this man's music. How do people live without music? All these people watching TV and videos all the time when there is such wonderful music to listen to. I was lucky enough to see him a few years ago. He starts on time, if you're late you're missing music. He sings for about an hour, no muss, no fuss, no long stories, etc., just him and the folks that have played with him for so long. Fabulous.

    C.... P....

    +Chrystin Pleasants   Thanks for your comment.  I also saw a Don Williams show, although it was many years ago.  It sounds like he hasn't changed--even back then it was just him and his band--no smoke, fireworks, light show, etc.  Great, great music; great man.  Regards, MusicBank58

    C.... P....

    Shut up.

    If people wanna watch TV and videos that's their choice.

  42. D.... D....

    never heard this song but I love it. he can sing anything and make it sound so beautiful. I'll be a fan forever. thanks for posting this song.
