Love in the Afternoon,
Love in the Afternoon
He walked right up and told me that he liked my style
I noticed something different in the way he smiled
He said "You're quite a lady and I know a place that's shady
Would you like to come and lie with me awhile?"
And deep in my soul I could feel a quiver
Then he went down and found that sweet old river
And he showed me the way to find love in the afternoon.

I knew he was a stranger but I didn't care
We had something in common but it wasn't clear
He said that life's a lover when you love and like no other
Don't you think it's time for you to get your share?

And deep in my soul I could feel a quiver
Then he went down and found that sweet old river
And he showed me the way to find love in the afternoon.


Mmmmmm…
I never could remember or recall his name
But I hang on to that memory just the same
I know it makes me crazy, it makes my head all hazy
To think about the way he played that game

And deep in my soul I could feel a quiver
Then he went down and found that sweet old river
And he showed me the way to find love in the afternoon.

Yes, deep in my soul, I could feel a quiver
Then he went down and found that sweet old river
And he showed me the way to find,
Showed me and showed me and showed me
The way to find love in the afternoon

Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played the tambourine so well
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hand used to issue out a warning
And she'd say
Baby, don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there in my grass
Grandma's hands
I'm talkin' 'bout my grandma's hands
Soothed the local unwed mother
My grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face
And tell her she'd say
Baby, grandma understands
But you really loved that man
And put herself in jesus' hands


Grandma's hands
Yeah. . .
I'm talking... i'm talking
'bout my grandma, ah yeah!
Grandma's hands
Used to hand me a piece of candy
Ah grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say
Nettie, don't you whip that girl
What you wanna spank her for
She didn't drop no apple core
But I don' have grandma anymore
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands
I'm talking 'bout my grandma
Talking 'bout my grandma
Oho...yeah...
I'm talking 'bout my grandma...

. . .


Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be without
a friendly face, A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear


You touch me with the love you're bringing

I can't really lose when you're near,
when you're near
And love, if all my friends
have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know
that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Rejubilation with some celebration beginning
Total rejection to lies and deception and sinning
Sinners take key
For the life that you lead is deceiving
Nothing replaces a man
That embraces believing, no!
People take heart
It's the time to be sport
To be honest
Total reunion
There's one last communion upon us
Sinners take the key
For the life that you lead is deceiving
Nothing replaces a man
That embraces believing, no!
(you know I'm betting, I'm betting on jesus)
I'm betting on jesus, I'm hoping
I'm hoping hell freezes
I'm hoping it just freezes
The devil, I'm talking 'bout the devil
Oh oh oh, oo oo oo
As for the children
God bless and God will
They'd know sorrow
(sorrow)
Share the confusion
And life's disillusion tomorrow


(tomorrow)
Sinners take key
For the life that you lead is deceiving
Nothing replaces a man that embraces believing, no!
(you know I'm betting)
I'm betting on jesus
I'm hoping, I'm hoping hell freezes
I'm hoping, I'm hoping it just freezes the devil,
Get down on the devil
Hey jubilation with some celebrating beginning
Total rejection to lies and deception and sinning
Sinners take key
For the life that you lead is deceiving, yeah!
Nothing replaces a man
That embraces believing, no!
Jubilation, jubilation, jubilation
I said jubilation
Oh oh oh, (hey, jubilation)
I need it now(hey jubilation)
Hey, jubilation
I'm gonna have a great jubilation...
Get some celebration
(hey jubilation)
Lemme hear you say
Lemme hear you say
Yeah!

I am a simple girl
And I sing a simple song
I've never been so much in love
And never hurt so bad
At the same time
I am a simple girl
And I play a simple tune
I wish that I could see you
Once again across the room
Like the first time
I just wanna hold ya
I don't wanna hold ya down
I hear what you're saying'


And you're spinning my head around
And i can't make it alone
The ending of the tale
Is the singing of the song
All make me proud to be a woman;
Only you can make me strong
Like the last time
I just wanna hold ya
I don't wanna hold ya down
I hear what you're saying'
And you're spinning my head around
And i can't make it alone
I don't wanna make it alone...

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mother is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on…
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show,
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy,
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow


Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again,
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads,
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns,
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times before
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show,
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy,
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will have it again


When you walked out on me
In walked all misery
And it's been here since then
For I don't have love to share
I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
Oo...oo...oo...
Mmm...

. . .


Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long
Before it's crying time
Oh they say that absence makes
The heart grow fonder
(fonder)
And that tears are on their way
To make love grow
(grow)
Well, my love for you could never,
Never, never, never grow no stronger
(stronger)
If I live to be a hundred,
And I say a hundred years old
Oh you say that you've found someone


You love better
That's the way it's happened
Every time before
(before)
And as sure as the sun comes out tomorrow
(tomorrow)
Crying time will start
When you walk out
When you walk out my door
Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
(I can feel it now)
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
(I can feel it now)
(I can see it baby in your eyes)
I can tell by way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time
No it won't be long before it's crying time!

It's not easy to be happy
Sometimes it's more comfortable to be sad
That is why I like this song
Mmm...

Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Let me thrill your soul
Mmm...

Came on baby
Let the good times roll.
Roll on and on
Come on baby

Let me hold you tight
Tell me everything is right tonight
Come on baby
Let the good times roll

Roll on and on
I feel so good
Mmm...

In your arms
Sugar baby
You are my good luck charms
Come on baby


Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Let me thrill your soul

Come on, come on, baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
Come on baby while the thrill is on
Come on baby let us have some fun
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
Come on baby let's close the door
Come on baby let us sweat some more
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
You know i, you know I feel so good
And I'll let you hold
Come on baby
Rock me all night long
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Let it thrill your soul
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
Come on baby...
