We meet at three

I have coffee, you have tea

'Cause you're such an anglophile

But I'd take Paris anytime



And look at me, I'm smiling

And I'm not even trying



And I don't have to stay

I couldn't really anyway

But while I'm here can we pretend I won't be leaving soon

And have a happy ever after afternoon



We talk of many things

Of shoes and strings and engagement rings

But I still don't want to say

Whether I will go your way

And look at me, I'm smiling

And I'm not even trying



And I don't have to stay

I couldn't really anyway

But while I'm here can we pretend I won't be leaving soon

And have a happy ever after afternoon

Yes, I know you need an answer soon



But I'm not thinking about that now.



I could sit for days

Passing through this phase

You'd say things to make me laugh and stay

I'd never have to leave this cafe



And look at me, I'm smiling

And I'm not even trying



And I don't have to stay

I couldn't really anyway

But while I'm here can we pretend I won't be leaving soon

And have a happy ever after afternoon
