Golden Afternoon

Verse 1

In a golden afternoon, with a cup of tea in hand

Watching all the people as they wander through the land

There's a lady with a parasol, a man who tips his hat

And a boy who thinks the whole wide world is just as simple as that

Verse 2

There's a melody of laughter drifting softly on the breeze

Through the open windows and the rustling of the trees

Every little moment like a picture in a frame

But you know it won't be waiting if you pass it by again

Chorus

Golden afternoon

Don't you slip away too soon

Stay a while and let me see

All the things you mean to me

Golden afternoon

Humming out a gentle tune

In the sunlight I can find

Peace of mind

Verse 3

There's a memory returning though it never really left

In the corners of the mind where the past and present rest

Like a song you used to sing but you forgot the end

Till it comes back all at once like an unexpected friend

Chorus

Golden afternoon

Shining like a quiet moon

In the daylight soft and slow

There's a warmth I used to know

Golden afternoon

Everything's in gentle bloom

For a moment, I can be

Simply me

Bridge

La-la-la, the time goes by

La-la-la, you wonder why

All the days you thought were gone

Still are living on

Outro

In a golden afternoon...

Nothing more to do...

Just a golden afternoon...

Me and you
