[Verse 1]
The place down the block, the one with no clock
Covert rendezvous with you at the usual time
I savor the scent of the fish on the grill
Life's so spicy up on Barbecue Hill
Looking good, you look so fine
Waiter, bring us one more bottle of wine

[Chorus 1]
I wish lunch could last forever
Make the whole day one big afternoon
We'll begin with dessert, a little coconut tart
Tastes as sweet as a piece of your heart
Café au lait beneath the Paris moon

[Verse 2]
Don't hide your eyes, just wear your disguise
Brazil's in the air, I swear it feels like Mardi Gras time
I savor the scent, love that Annick Goutal
As we walk in time to the cathedral bells

[Chorus 1]
I wish lunch could last forever
Make the whole day one big afternoon
We'll begin with dessert, a little coconut tart
Tastes as sweet as a piece of your heart
Café au lait beneath the Paris moon
[Chorus 2]
I wish love could last forever
Make the whole day a first time love affair
We'll begin with a kiss, such a warm place to start
Let me into your life, let me into your heart
Mea culpa, mea culpa, carnival's in the air

[Refrain]
We'll begin with a kiss, such a warm place to start
Let me into your life let me into your heart
I wish, I wish that lunch could last forever
Oh yeah, Uh huh, Oh, Oh...

[Outro]
Tout la jour, mademoiselle
Dejeuner tout la jour
Ah oui, une boutelle de vin blanc
Un dessert? C'est necessaire
Tres necessaire
