Black Coffee
All Saints · All Hits
Always silent, never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
Sail away, I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all (anything oh I)
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on you
Though I know I do (although I know I do)
Every time I fall
Day dreamin', chain smokin'
Always laughin', always jokin'
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you?
Brush your teeth and pour a cup of
Black coffee out - I love to
Watch you do that every day
The little things that you do
Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all (anything oh I)
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on you
Though I know I do (although I know I do)
Every time I fall
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all (anything oh I)
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on you
Though I know I do (although I know I do)
Every time I fall (every time I fall, every time I fall)
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but here (oh anywhere but here)
I wouldn't wanna change (I wouldn't wanna change)
Anything at all (anything oh I)
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on you
Though I know I do (although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Night swimming, beach walking
Always silent, never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
Sail away, I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
