STELLA?S SONG
Words and Music by Carlene Thissen, Copyright 2006
Yesterday I saw the oldest friend I?ve ever had
All my life she?s lived next door to mom and dad
I always understood why she means so much to me
She takes time to have a cup of tea.
Take some time
Ease your mind
Sit with me
Have a cup of tea
She was like an anchor in our often frantic lives
A calming force with careful and kind advice
In good times and in bad she brought us peace with her smile
Just by comin? over for a while
Take some time
Ease your mind
Sit with me
Have a cup of tea
When you?re studying at school or building your career
Trying to change the world and rushing there to here
Don?t forget to spend a little time with your friends
It?s that cup of tea that matters, in the end
We will not remember the work we did today
But we?ll always remember that we felt this way
When things are going great or they?re as bad as they can be
Spend a little time, let?s have a cup of tea.
Take some time
Ease your mind
Sit with me
Have a cup of tea
