I like you more

I like you more than the morning cuppa

I like you more than cheese toast supper

I like you more than Sunday papers

And anchovy pizza with olives and capers.

I like you more than walking up mountains

Than cola bottles and sherbet fountains

I like you more than chilled champagne

And rainbows and getting in from the rain.

I like your smile, I like your style

The way your hair grows, I like your nose

I like that you say ‘barth’ not ‘bath’

I like that my accent makes you laugh.

I like you more than flowers and chocs

I like you more than cosy socks

I like you more than Christmas lunch

And afternoon tea and Sunday brunch.

I like your kindness, your gorgeous looks

Yes, I even like you more than books.

Next to fresh brewed coffee and hot buttered toast,

I love you more, I love you most.
