Tea for Three

Grandma shuffles into the kitchen

Hair as white as snow

She's lived here more than seventy years

Where else would she go?

And you may call her a sweet old thing

There's more than meets the eye

So sit down in Gloria's kitchen

Get her talking, you'll be surprised

Tea in a pot and a vase with flowers

Sun shining through the lace

I want to sit and talk for hours

And watch it light up her face

We don't say the stories have all been told

We don't say tired, we don't say old

There's nowhere that I'd rather be

Tea for three

And say hello to my mother

She's there night and day

She takes care of my grandma

Role reversal, you could say

And you may think she has angel wings

For giving up her time

But sit down in Gloria's kitchen

Get her talking and you'll see why

Tea in a pot and a vase with flowers

Sun shining through the lace

I want to sit and talk for hours

And watch it light up her face

We don't say the stories have all been told

We don't say tired, we don't say old

There's nowhere that I'd rather be

Tea for three

The only thing sweeter than this homemade apricot jam

Is knowing I'm loved by them just the way that I am

Tea in a pot and a vase with flowers

Sun shining through the lace

I want to sit and talk for hours

Just watch it light up my face

We don't say the stories have all been told

We don't say tired, we don't say old

There's nowhere that I'd rather be

There's nowhere that I want to be

Tea for three
