The TV softly hums this afternoon
A thin curtain dances by the window light
That old sofa we picked out together
Even the scratches on the armrest feel right
Our coffee's gone cold, but we don't seem to care
Only the clock keeps hurrying on
Twenty-five years of "good morning" and "good night"
Still carrying us along
On a Sunday afternoon, I'm watching you
With a smile as fresh as a clean white shirt
Resting in the sunlight pouring through the room
You somehow look a little like
The one I first fell for
The first time we held hands on our way home
Rain still shining on the empty street
Trying to hide our awkward little fingers
Holding a convenience store bag between us
There were nights we sat in silence after fights
Yet I still listened to your breathing near me
Morning sunlight through the gap in the curtains
I still remember making peace
On a Sunday afternoon, I'm watching you
Even the smell of over-toasted bread
Standing shoulder to shoulder in the kitchen
Those ordinary days we shared
Are treasures even now
"I'll tell you next time," I always say
But somehow the words never come out right
Thank you and I'm sorry
Still make me smile with shy delight
But you understand anyway
And I think I understand too
On a Sunday afternoon, I'm watching you
Even the extra lines upon your face are dear
Twenty-five years of all those little moments
Gently pushing us ahead
And carrying us onward still
On a Sunday afternoon, I'm laughing with you
Nothing special, yet today feels bright
For as many years as life may give us
Let's watch the same sunset together
Growing older side by side
The evening sun slowly fills the room
Two coffee mugs still sitting where they are
"What should we make for dinner?" you ask softly
And I hope this happiness
Goes on forever and ever

Afternoon in the Kitchen
KAZMARIBUKURO
English Description
Twenty-five years have passed since they first began walking through life together.
No special occasion.
No grand celebration.
Just an ordinary Sunday afternoon,
standing side by side in the kitchen preparing a simple meal.
Yet sometimes, the greatest happiness is found in moments exactly like these.
"Kitchen in the Afternoon" is a warm and gentle love song about a couple who have shared a lifetime of mornings and evenings together.
Every "good morning" and every "good night."
The laughter, the disagreements, and all the quiet moments in between.
Not a story about extraordinary love,
but about the kind of love that stays.
A heartfelt song celebrating the beauty of growing older together and finding joy in everyday life.
