Afternoon

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You know, it's afternoon

Yeah, yeah

And there's the moon,

so pale

And all the trees are whisperin' and the elves are whisperin' to me,

that's right

I am, I am

How they whisper so nice

I am, I am

They whisper to me

I am, I am

They whisper to me

I am, I am

Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop

Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop

I am, I am

The wind cries

I am, I am

For you see, it's afternoon

Yeah, yeah

There's the moon, it's so pale

All the plants whisper, the lake and the lilies, they whisper a song to me

It sounds like this

I am, I am

That's what it sounds like

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop

Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop

Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop

Doo-pop doo-pop da-tommy-too-pop

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

Two more times...

I am, I am

I am, I am
