Lyrics

Raspberry scone and a cup of espresso
my favorite paper and an overstuffed chair
Raspberry scone and one more espresso
it could only be better if you were still there.

From the moment I met you I knew you were kind,
You smiled at me warmly as you read my mind,
“How ‘bout a hot grande mocha with just a little whipped cream?”
and behind that stone counter stood the girl of my dreams.

I still wandered in circles but I didn’t care
‘cause I knew that your sparkle would always be there.
My bright-eyed barista would welcome me in
You would say “Hey there, stranger!” again and again.

(Raspberry scone and a cup of espresso…)

You know that sooner or later it’s Fate’s turn to deal
I can’t help but wonder if the good times were real?
‘cause when I walked in to Starbucks it wasn’t the same.
They said that you went out searching for fortune and fame.

Well, I can’t keep you captive - you deserve to live free
but you gave them your notice without telling me.
Oh I may be eccentric, and I know it sounds strange,
but I’ll miss our brief moments when you gave me… the change.

(Raspberry scone and a cup of espresso…)

I know you weren’t my true lover
and I’ll drink with another,
but it would surely taste sweeter
if you were still there…
