This afternoon
I tried to write a letter
Wishing you'd get better real soon
This afternoon
I gazed out on the sea
Wanting you with me this afternoon

Oh darling, you're so far away
Please come back to stay
Oh honey, come here to me
Come and lie in my arms

This afternoon
The sky grew dark so fast
The clouds they rolled on past the winter moon
This afternoon
I called you just to say
That I love you everyday this afternoon

Oh darling, you're so far away
Please come back to stay
Oh honey, come here to me
Come and lie in my arms

This afternoon
Another day gone by
The pain I hold inside will be my ruin
This afternoon
Remember how I'd kiss you
And you know just how I miss you this afternoon.

Oh darling, you're so far away
Please come back to stay
Oh honey, come here to me
Come and lie in my arms
