All The Tea in China

All the Tea In China
Music: Steve Macfarlane & Billy Hui, Lyrics: Steve Macfarlane, Billy Hui, Peter Grant

I can still hear you now As if it was yesterday
Always wanted to know, To hear you say
I wouldn’t give you up for all the tea in china,
My dear, . . .For all the tea in China

I went home with such a warm glow
Rang up all my friends to tell them so
You wouldn’t give me up . . . for all the tea in China
My dear, For all the tea in China

Yet later that year It all became so clear
Went around to your place, that look on your face
Crate after crate after crate
Coming out your front gate
It’s the strangest thing
Each box stamped Tea - from Beijing …

Now I sit with your words swirling round my head
A love that once was alive, and now is dead
You gave me up
You gave me up
An empty loving cup
You gave me up
You gave me up
For all the tea in China
