Carla Bruni - Afternoon

C#m E
when i Am old , and comforted ,
B A
and done with this desire ,
C#m G#
with memory to share my bed
C#m E
when i Am old , and comforted ,
B A
and done with this desire ,
C#m G# C#m
with peace to share my fire

C#m E B A
i’ll comb my hair in scalloped bands
C#m G#
beneath my laundered cap ,
C#m E B A
and watch my cool and fragile hands
C#m G# C#m
lie light upon my lap .

B E
and i will have a sprigged gown
B E
with lace to kiss my throat;
B E
i’ll draw my curtain to the town ,
G#
and hum a purring note .

C#m E B A
and i’ll forget the way of tears ,
C#m G#
and rock , and stir my tea .
C#m E B A
but oh , i wish those blessed years
C#m G# C#m
were further than they be

B E
and i will have a sprigged gown
B E
with lace to kiss my throat;
B E
i’ll draw my curtain to the town ,
G#
and hum a purring note .

C#m E
when i Am old , and comforted ,
B A
and done with this desire ,
C#m G#
with memory to share my bed
C#m E
when i Am old , and comforted ,
B A
and done with this desire ,
C#m G# C#m
with peace to share my fire
C#m G# C#m
with peace to share my fire
