La Vanille

Remember that café
　　Just right around the block
　　They always had the best vanilla cake
　　On lazy afternoons
　　We’d watch the sunlight peaking through those lush ivy vines
　　Sitting by the window, roses in full bloom
　　Macchiato and
　　A slice of vanilla cake
　　It’s easy to forget the rest of the world
　　Slow music fills the air
　　An old record’s spinning round and round in the dim light
　　Drowsier ‘n drowsier we get
　　Look how the time flies
　　But it’s not like we need to care
　　Relax, there’s nothing worth worrying about
　　You sipped the last drop
　　Although your cake is not yet finished
　　You always saved the last bite for me
　　Now we’ve all grown up
　　Oh how long has it been
　　Since we moved far from that little café
　　You’re always busy with
　　All those little things in your life; I wonder if you
　　Remember that vanilla cake
　　That’s half a cup of milk and one cup of fine white sugar
　　Two eggs and two cups of flour, a stick of butter
　　And last but not the least
　　Add three vanilla beans to the mix
　　Sweet aroma fills my whole kitchen
　　I have to admit
　　It was no easy feat
　　But I just want to see you smile again
　　Life’s not a race with time
　　Never forget to take a break every now and then
　　To savor the tiny moments
　　To savor the tiny moments
　　To savor the tiny moments
