La Vanille

Remember that café

Just right around the block

They always had the best vanilla cake

On lazy afternoons

We’d watch the sunlight peaking through those lush ivy vines

Sitting by the window

roses in full bloom

Macchiato and

A slice of vanilla cake

It’s easy to forget the rest of the world

Slow music fills the air

An old record’s spinning round and round in the dim light

Drowsier ‘n drowsier we get

Look how the time flies

But it’s not like we need to care

Relax

there’s nothing worth worrying about

You sipped the last drop

Although your cake is not yet finished

You always saved the last bite for me

Now we’ve all grown up

Oh how long has it been

Since we moved far from that little café

You’re always busy with

All those little things in your life; I wonder if you

Remember that vanilla cake

That’s half a cup of milk and one cup of fine white sugar

Two eggs and two cups of flour

a stick of butter

And last but not the least

Add three vanilla beans to the mix

Sweet aroma fills my whole kitchen

I have to admit

It was no easy feat

But I just want to see you smile again

Life’s not a race with time

Never forget to take a break every now and then

To savor the tiny moments

To savor the tiny moments

To savor the tiny moments
