Sunday Afternoons by Vanessa Daou
Performed by
Vanessa DaouSunday Afternoons Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sit at home
At my desk alone
As I used to do
On many Sunday afternoons
When you came back to me
Your arms ached for me
And your arms would close me in
Though they smelled of other women
[Chorus]
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
[Verse 2]
Your sweet head would bow
Like a child somehow
Down to me
And your hair and your eyes were wild
We would embrace on the floor
You see my back's still sore

[Chorus]
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you
[Outro]
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
I think of you on Sunday afternoons
