We don't know why
We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
Oh, I remember
Death in the afternoon
A silence fell about the room with harsh
And heavy calm
The lovers and the friends all felt the same
It kept us warm
We raised our glass and drank to times we had
But'd see no more
The pictures of the past would haunt us still
And there remains
Oh, I remember
Death in the afternoon
We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed We don't know why We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew Of days gone by We flicked through photographs we had Somehow they made us sad Remembering the times we used to have It made us cry Oh, I remember Death in the afternoon A silence fell about the room with harsh And heavy calm The lovers and the friends all felt the same It kept us warm We raised our glass and drank to times we had But'd see no more The pictures of the past would haunt us still And there remains Oh, I remember Death in the afternoon We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed We don't know why We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew Of days gone by We flicked through photographs we had Somehow they made us sad Remembering the times we used to have It made us cry We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed We don't know why We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew Of days gone by We flicked through photographs we had Somehow they made us sad Remembering the times we used to have It made us cry Explain Request ×
