歌詞

The honey takes its golden time

And I'll be taking mine

The kettle hums its one good song

The tea leaves take their bath

I hold the honey spoon up high

And watch the slow gold path

It ribbons down into the cup

In no hurry at all

Honey in my tea today

And sunlight on the sill

Your word is sweeter, sweeter still

And I can drink my fill

I carry it to the window seat

Both hands around the warm

The garden's doing quiet work

The bees are in good form

One sip, and all the morning

Settles softly into place

Honey in my tea today

And sunlight on the sill

Your word is sweeter, sweeter still

And I can drink my fill

The cup leaves one warm circle

On the windowsill's white paint

A little ring of morning

Like the halo of a saint

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Honey in my tea today

And sunlight on the sill

Your word is sweeter, sweeter still

And I can drink my fill

Honey in my tea today

And sunlight on the sill

Your word is sweeter, sweeter still

And I can drink my fill

The honey took its golden time

And I was glad to wait
