Second Cup Of Coffee Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day 

I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way 

And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone 

I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done 

I'm on my second cup of coffee and 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 

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 

I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the dawn 

The radio is playin' a soft country song 

And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone 

I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done 

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 

I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day 

I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way 

And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone 

I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done 

And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone 

I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done
