I can’t remember exactly when but I must have been about 4 or 5
I couldn’t see over the counter top cuz the sun filled my eyes
That apron you’d wear, the cinnamon and spice in the air
Humming your favorite tune, while I did my best to wait all afternoon
For you to say babe, I got something for you….

10 years later, 2 feet taller, first time I fell in love
I’m leaning on that counter top telling you I think I may have met the one
You listened and you smiled, I’m sure you knew it would only last a little while when my heart broke in two, I ran to the safest place I knew
To hear babe, I got something for you

It won’t cure a broken heart, but it’s a damn good place to start
‘Here sit at the table’
She poured a glass a milk, some coffee for herself
Said tell me when you’re able and until then…
Here’s a slice of banana bread

I’ve heard it’s funny how time slips away, your golden hair a slightly different shade
The kitchen the counter top remains the same and I know I don’t come around enough these days (but when I do)
You listen and you smile, we laugh and reminisce for a while
Till I grab my keys and my coat, kiss on the cheek oh, before you go
Yeah, I bet you already know, it’s true
Babe…I got something for you
Banana bread
