Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Steam curls up
from a chipped white cup
Window cracked
letting in that lazy hush
Shoes on the chair
tie hanging loose
Sunday on a Tuesday
and nothing to prove
[Chorus]
Sunset in my coffee cup
gold on the rim as the world wakes up
I stir the light, take one slow sip
Joy runs over
dripping from my lip
Sunset in my coffee cup
and that’s enough
[Verse 2]
Old blue clock
ticks behind the band
Bass walks slow
like it’s holding my hand
Laughter in the hall
distant and kind
You lean on the doorframe
easy on my mind
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Shh… hear that?
[sax solo]
Scat-da ba-ba, joy in bloom (oh)
Little bright bloom in a quiet room
[Chorus]
Steam curls up
from a chipped white cup
Window cracked
letting in that lazy hush
Shoes on the chair
tie hanging loose
Sunday on a Tuesday
and nothing to prove
[Chorus]
Sunset in my coffee cup
gold on the rim as the world wakes up
I stir the light, take one slow sip
Joy runs over
dripping from my lip
Sunset in my coffee cup
and that’s enough
[Verse 2]
Old blue clock
ticks behind the band
Bass walks slow
like it’s holding my hand
Laughter in the hall
distant and kind
You lean on the doorframe
easy on my mind
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Shh… hear that?
[sax solo]
Scat-da ba-ba, joy in bloom (oh)
Little bright bloom in a quiet room
[Chorus]
Style of Music
jazz, Laid-back cool jazz at 80 BPM with brushed kit, upright bass walking softly, and warm Rhodes comping. Alto sax takes the main melody; male vocals enter smooth and close-mic’d. Short tasteful sax solo in the middle, then a mellow final chorus with soft background scats and a gentle ride cymbal shimmer to fade., cool jazz
