Milk and toast and honey make it sunny
On a rainy Saturday, he-he-hey
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness
Out of days you hate, you really hate
Slow morning news pass me by I try
Not to analyze but didn't he blow my
Mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

(here he comes)
To bring a little lovin' honey
To take away the hurt
Inside is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want in life

Milk and
Toast and honey

To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the pain inside is everything
That matters to me
Is everything
I want from life
(here he comes)
Oh lay
A little lovin', baby
To feel you're gettin'
Close to me is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want to be

Ain't it funny how things sometimes look so
Clear and feel so near
The dreams I dream,
My favorite wishful thinkin'
Oh he's
Bookmarked everywhere, everywhere
True
Love might fall from the sky
You never know
What to find but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

(here he comes)
