Lazy Afternoon
Embracing Tranquility: Vanessa Williams' Lazy Afternoon
Lyrics
It's a lazy afternoon
Describes the time as leisurely and unhurried.
And the beetle bugs are zooming
Reference to small insects moving quickly, emphasizing tranquility.
And the tulip trees are blooming
Highlights the blossoming of tulip trees, signaling a vibrant and lively environment.
And there's not another human in view but us two
Indicates seclusion with only the speaker and their companion present.
It's a lazy afternoon
Reiterates the lazy nature of the afternoon.
And the farmer leaves his reaping
Describes a farmer leaving work, contributing to the peaceful atmosphere.
In the meadow cows are sleeping
Depicts a serene scene with cows sleeping in a meadow.
And the speckled trouts stop leaping upstream as we dream
Portrays a calm river with trout not leaping, enhancing the dreamlike ambiance.
A far pink cloud hangs over a hill
Introduces a picturesque image of a pink cloud over a hill.
Unfolding like a rose
Compares the unfolding cloud to a blooming rose, emphasizing beauty.
If you hold my hand and sit real still
Invites the listener to join the speaker, suggesting shared tranquility.
You can hear the grass as it grows
Implies heightened awareness, hearing the subtle sounds of nature.
It's a hazy afternoon

And I know a place that's quiet except for daisies running riot
