Love in the Afternoon Lyrics

It's getting dark outside
Daytime is done
The lights along the river come up
One by one
Let's make love again
We got time
I am yours
You are mine

It's getting dark outside
I have to go
Don't want my husband
Or my friends to know
Zip up my dress
I can't find my shoes
Don't fall in love with me
Too much to lose

The kids are home by now
Have to think fast
I really think this afternoon
Must be the last
Don't say anything
Don't turn on the light
Thanks for loving me
Call you tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
