Milk And Toast And Honey
Roxette · Hits (Aussie Tour Ed) [2011]
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness out of days you hate,
you really hate
Slow morning news pass me by
I try not to analyse but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind
(Here he comes)
To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the hurt inside is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want in life
Milk and toast and honey
Ain't it funny how things sometimes look so clear and feel so near
The dreams I dream, my favourite wishful thinkin'
Oh he's bookmarked everywhere, everywhere
True love might fall from the sky
You never know what to find but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?
(Here he comes)
To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the pain inside is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want in life
(Here he comes)
Oh lay a little lovin', honey
To feel you're gettin' close to me is everything that matters to me
Is everywhere I want to be
...
...
Oh lay a little lovin', baby baby
Gettin' close to me is everything that matters to me
Is everywhere I want to be (bis)

Performed by Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, the track exemplifies their signature blend of melodic pop and emotional storytelling.

The song remains a staple of their discography, showcasing the chemistry between the two artists that defined their career during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its inclusion on a compilation highlights its status as a beloved track within their catalog, resonating with fans who appreciate the warmth and vulnerability present in their music.
