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
