lyrics

Apple Pie and Coffee
Lionel Zivan S. Valdellon

1
How many times did you tell that story
Of the diner who ate only apple pie and coffee?
How one day he chose to order something new
But then simply froze when told about the menu.
What wouldn't I give
To hear you tell that story once more —
Just as you did before.

CHORUS A
I still remember how I rode upon your shoulders.
Now your time is done, the world much colder.
Who knew just how quickly time would fly?
Wish that I'd been there to say goodbye.

2
How many times did we talk sincerely
Of wine, women, song and living life completely?
We both were afraid of serious conversation
Instead we would joke, let laughter ease the tension.
What wouldn't I give
To spend another moment with you —
Staring into the blue.

CHORUS B
I, I'd pretend to fall asleep while watching TV
So you'd carry me in your arms dearly.
Who will carry you unto your home?
Why'd you have to leave us here alone?

BRIDGE
You taught me: live your life with passion and
Do the best you can.
You taught me: find the work your heart is in,
Not where the money's at.
You taught me honesty in what you say;
Don't take the easy way.
You taught me: keep at it when things get hard,
Then you'll be okay.

[CHORUS B]
[CHORUS A]
