Lyrics

TEAPOT

I?m just that silly teapot
in the ancient nursery rhyme
I?ve got a cute little handle, an arrogant spout
?n I tip over all the time
?cause nothing that belongs to me
is ever really mine
How can I hold on to much
when I?m changing all the time?

Well, life?s been a big ?ol party
floatin? merrily down the stream
?n when I?m really wide awake
I can tell; it?s just a dream
?cause we?re all spinnin? ?round
on a ball in space
we?re just little grains of sand
nothing really matters much
once we finally understand

chorus:
so let?s not spoil the moment
let?s not push and shove
let?s not battle to be right
in the name of love

I like the way your gentle eyes
can twinkle like the stars
I like the way you give me grief
?cause it?s a part of who you are
?n when you smile, I feel your smile
we?re connected at the soul
your magic is my magic
?n it?s all so beautiful

chorus:
so let?s not spoil the moment
let?s not push and shove
there?s no one to be conquered
since all we are is love

we only have each moment
wouldn?t you rather play?
I?d hate to waste a miracle
maybe I should stay
I?d sure hate to waste a miracle?..

I?m just that silly teapot
in the ancient nursery rhyme
