River Afternoon

[Intro] Soft light on the water, a slow parade of cloud and breeze [Verse 1] Sitting by the river, feet in the shade of whispering trees Grass hums with dragonflies, the current writes letters in the sand A laugh tucked in my pocket, we smile without a plan [Pre-Chorus] Time drifts like cattails swaying, easy and true In this quiet moment, I’m learning how to simply be with you [Chorus] Here comes the gentle afternoon, where everything feels near Simple joys like pebbles, smooth and clear Breathing in the river’s song, I’m sure Life slows to silver, and I want this more [Verse 2] A kettle of warmth in sunlight, picnics that forget the clock Conversations ripple soft on the water’s friendly rock I trace the days ahead with hopeful, hopeful eyes The world stays gentle when we pause and realize [Pre-Chorus] Time drifts like cattails swaying, easy and true In this quiet moment, I’m learning how to simply be with you [Chorus] Here comes the gentle afternoon, where everything feels near Simple joys like pebbles, smooth and clear Breathing in the river’s song, I’m sure Life slows to silver, and I want this more [Bridge] If worries knock, we’ll let them float away With the current, we’ll choose to stay, to stay [Chorus] Here comes the gentle afternoon, where everything feels near Simple joys like pebbles, smooth and clear Breathing in the river’s song, I’m sure Life slows to silver, and I want this more [Outro] Sunset spills gold, we pack a quiet day away Till tomorrow’s breeze invites us back to stay
