I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

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 

Photos 

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 ]
