Long Afternoons - Paul Siebel
I once knew a woman
And she loved only me
And she knew how to touch me,
And how to turn to me
She knew how to kiss,
and she knew just what to whisper
No need to explain how I felt about her
And her it was brown,
So soft brown in the sun
You could blow it away,
When she took it down undone
So fresh light and clean,
Like a snow'on a flower
No need to explain the way I still feel about her
Her ribbons and her lace,
we shared in her room
I remember them well,
On those long afternoons
And her words falling softly,
just like a warm summer shower
No need to explain the way I feel about her
Soon the hayfields are ripen
Soon the berries will show
And they will fade into autumn,
And lie under the snow
Some years among many,
Give so much to remember
There's no need to explain the way I feel about her
