Lyrics Candlelight Afternoon - Phyllis St. James

He left me sleeping this morning
And his kiss was just a tease to my face
He said I'm gonna be fate this evening, darling
So don't wait up but have a good day
But at noon he calls me on the telephone
He said my love is waiting now for you
I need to hold you and kiss you before I come home
Can we meet somewhere this afternoon?

(We got to have a candlelight afternoon)
(To be with you)
Embracing you in the shadows
(We go to have a candlelight afternoon)
(Can't wait till midnight)
To hold you in my arms

We keep no minutes on the romance
We do everything to keep love alive
We're two lovers married to a life time of chance
Where freedom is our bottom line
We hide and seek through the pillows
And pleasure raised through our glasses of wine
We find pleasure that true love can give
And we don't have to wait till midnight

(We got to have a candlelight afternoon)
(To be with you)
Oh embracing you in the shadows
(We got to have a candlelight afternoon)
(Can't wait until daylight)
To hold you in my arms

This is how we can keep our fire burning
Yes, this is how we can keep our love brand new
(The timing is right be it day or night)
We'll always make room to leave misty afternoon

(In face of you in the middle of the afternoon)

(We got to have a candlelight afternoon)
(To be with you)
Embracing you in the shadows
(We got to have a candlelight afternoon)
(Can't wait till midnight)
To hold you in my arms

Ho
(We got to have a candlelight afternoon)
(To be with you)
Oh embracing you in the shadows
(We got to have a candlelight afternoon)
(Can't wait...)
