Forever in an Afternoon
Warm acoustic guitar and mellow upright piano form the backbone, joined by pedal steel weaving gentle melodic lines for the Nashville flavor. Delicate brushed drums and upright bass support the relaxed tempo. Rich male vocals tell the story, with subtle harmonies and a soft organ bed in the chorus.

Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
You pulled up out front a bit past noon,
Knew this moment couldn't come too soon.
No time for nerves, no second guess,
Just your smile and that summer dress.
We said we’d wait, then we said we’d try,
But distance don’t care how hard we cry.
Now that we’ve got a few hours alone,
Our bodies will say what we’ve always known.
Chorus
Girl, we won’t talk about goodbye,
'Cause if we do, we'll both just cry.
Just skin and breath with nothin’ planned,
A love too big to understand.
No, we won’t waste a single touch,
'Cause we're both wanting this so much.
Looks like forever came to soon,
'Cause ours will end this afternoon.
Verse 2
You laugh, then whisper in my ear,
“Let’s make this count while we’re both here.”
You pour the wine while I lock the door,
I've never wanted anyone more.
We kiss like time don’t stand a chance,
Wrapped up tight in this reckless dance.
I touch your face, you touch my soul,
And then we both lose all control.
Chorus
Girl, we won’t talk about goodbye,
'Cause if we do, we'll both just cry.
Just skin and breath with nothin’ planned,
A love too big to understand.
No, we won’t waste a single touch,
'Cause we're both wanting this so much.
Looks like forever came to soon,
'Cause ours will end this afternoon.
Instrumental Interlude
Verse 3
Your heart beats loud here in this bed,
Sayin’ all the things we never said.
We both had said when we first met
No promises and no regrets.
As sunlight finally starts to fade,
Erasing all the plans we'd made,
You hold my hand, don’t say a word,
'Cause every “stay” just can’t be heard.
Chorus
Girl, we won’t talk about goodbye,
'Cause if we do, we'll both just cry.
Just skin and breath with nothin’ planned,
A love too big to understand.
No, we won’t waste a single touch,
'Cause we're both wanting this so much.
Looks like forever came to soon,
'Cause ours will end this afternoon.
