Clifford T. Ward - Antecipation

I don't think that I've ever had a warmer experience than
The time you came round for tea and stayed much later than
You anticipated; oh, but you were shy
So we drank a little and talked a lot, an' then we drank some more
And you laughed a little an' drank a lot and said you'd like some more.

And much later when decent folk are safely tucked in bed
We were dancing round and round, a spinning top for my head
I anticipated what would happen next
But you drank a little and talked a lot, an' then you drank some more
And you laughed a little and drank a lot and went to sleep on the floor.

I anticipated what would happen next
But you drank a little and talked a lot, an' then you drank some more
And you laughed a little an' drank a lot and went to sleep on the floor
Went to sleep on the floor
Went to sleep on the floor
Went to sleep on the floor
Went to sleep on the floor
