lyrics

you’re like the last drop of honey-sweetened tea
you’re the sweetest in the mug
the last drop of honey-sweetened tea
drink it up and then it’s gone

of all the sweetest things
that could ever be
I wonder why we met- you and I
if you just had to leave

you’re like the last drop of honey-sweetened tea
you’re the sweetest in the mug
the last drop of honey-sweetened tea
drink it up and then it’s gone

sipping all along
nothing could go wrong
but I always find the sweetness in life
when it’s almost gone

just like the last drop of honey-sweetened tea
you’re the sweetest in the mug
the last drop of honey-sweetened tea
drink it up and then it’s gone

but it was sweet
while it lasted
just like
the last drop of honey-sweetened tea
in the mug
