I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever

By: Jimmy Buffett, Jay Oliver

1989

The place down the block, the one with no clock

Covert rendez-vous with you at the usual time

I savor the scent of the fish on the grill

Life's so spicy up on bar-b-q hill

Looking good, you look so fine

Waiter bring us one more bottle of wine

Chorus:

I wish lunch could last forever

Make the whole day on big afternoon

We'll begin with dessert a little coconut tart

Tastes as sweet as a piece of your heart

Cafe au lait beneath the Paris moon

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:

I wish lunch could last forever

Make the whole day on big afternoon

We'll begin with dessert a little coconut tart

Tastes as sweet as a piece of your heart

Cafe au lait beneath the Paris moon

Oh yeah, Uh huh, Ooooh...

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

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...

-- Spoken:

"Tout la jour, mademoiselle [ Everyday, mademoiselle ]

Dejeuner tout la jour [ Lunch every day ]

Ah oui, une boutelle de vin blanc [ Ah yes, a bottle of white wine ]

Un dessert? C'est necessaire [ A dessert? It's necessary ... ]

Tres necessaire" [ ...very necessary ]
