                  coffee and cigarettes.

Drinking From A Saucer
I’ve never made a fortune,
And it’s probably too late now.
But I don’t worry about that much,
I’m happy anyhow.
As I go along life’s journey,
Reaping better than I sowed,
I’m drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain’t got a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going is rough.
But I’ve got a family that loves me.
That makes me rich enough.
I just thank God for His blessings,
And the mercies He has bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
’Cause my cup has overflowed.

And I remember times when things went wrong,
And my faith got a little thin.
Then all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the old broke sun broke through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe
About the tough rows I have hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

And if God gives me strength and courage,
when the way gets steep and rough,
I won’t ask for other blessings.
I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy
To help another bear his load.
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
