Last one and we'll call it An Afternoon

In Afternoons my thoughts are sent
to time
and time passing
Remind me to capture
every moment
before night freezes us

In this light (this Afternoon light) we see
what we made
or how we wasted
the gift of Morning

(You and I), I hope we will say
we made ours
worth every drop
of sweet honey gold
pouring down
on our lip-licking delicious Afternoon

We laid out the makings
of breath stealing sunsets
we planted trees
to silhouette them right
in the photographs we will take
this Afternoon

We followed the heart's path
all the way to the place
Heaven pours down, watering freedom

And all afternoon
we will dance like crazy
We will breathe more deeply
to see more clearly
We will climb every tree
We will taste every fruit

This afternoon was made
for us
(Doubtlessly), it is ours
It is exactly as we like it
Just like we asked Santa
(like that girl on 34th street)

Of course it is ours
(of course it is ours)
We dreamed it up
and love let it all
come
true

I can't wait
to make the most
of our big day
(and it's only dawning!)
I cant' wait to say
We've had such a good morning
Now let's explore what's ours
this Afternoon
