Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You

(with Billy Rose)

VERSE

In the movie plays
Of nowadays,
A romance always must begin in June.
Tales in magazines
Have all their scenes
Of love laid in a garden 'neath the moon.
But I don't miss
That kind of bliss.
What I want is this:

REFRAIN

A cup of coffee, a sandwich, and you,
A cozy corner, a table for two,
A chance to whisper and cuddle and coo,
With lots of huggin' and kissin' in view.
I don't need music, lobster, or wine
Whenever your eyes look into mine.
The things I long for are simple and few:
A cup of coffee, a sandwich, and you!
