Borrowed Sugar, Borrowed Smile

by Max Solano

“I ran out of sugar, so I knocked on your door, and that's how most good things begin. The groove walks across the hallway.”

Lyrics

I ran out of sugar
So I knocked on your door
Five years as neighbours
Never talked before

You opened up slowly
With a shy little smile

Borrowed sugar, borrowed smile
Stay a while, stay a while
Borrowed sugar, borrowed smile
Now we're friends, it's been a while

You gave me a cup
And a cup of your tea
We talked about the weather
And the old oak tree

You opened up slowly
With a shy little smile

Borrowed sugar, borrowed smile
Stay a while, stay a while
Borrowed sugar, borrowed smile
Now we're friends, it's been a while

Who knew the walls were thin
But the door was easy to knock?
Who knew a little sugar
Could open up the lock?

Next week I'll bring a cake
You bring the cup of tea
Two neighbours at a table
As happy as can be

Borrowed sugar, borrowed smile
Stay a while, stay a while
Borrowed sugar, borrowed smile
Now we're friends, it's been a while

Borrowed smile
Stay a while
