©1972 by 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 reaching 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
And the gentle sweet reminder
Of a daughter and a son

Sitting alone
Mmy friends have all gone home
You never know
When they'll come dropping 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 playing
A soft country song
And if I don't stop this trembling hand
From reaching for the phone
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord
Before this day is done

Sitting alone
My friends have all gone home
They never were around
When I needed them
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 reaching 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 reaching for the bottle Lord
Before this day is done
