Velvet Nightfall

Verse 1: In the quiet of the midnight hour, I feel the pull of a deeper power. Your memory dances through the air, Like a ghostly waltz in the empty chair. Chorus: Midnight whispers, soft and low, Tell me secrets only the night can know. In every shadow, I see your face, In the jazz-filled silence of this place. Verse 2: The clock ticks on, but time stands still, As I drink my fill of the night's cool chill. The music’s moan, like your voice so sweet, Plays on repeat where heartbeats meet. Chorus: Midnight whispers, soft and low, Tell me secrets only the night can know. In every shadow, I see your face, In the jazz-filled silence of this place. Bridge: Under the moon’s soft, silver glow, I wander places only the lost can go. The bittersweet taste of our past delight, Lingers on in the notes tonight. Verse 3: So pour another glass, let the records spin, As I sink into the velvet of your remembered sin. Every note a caress, every chord a kiss, In the jazz-soaked depths of bliss. Chorus: Midnight whispers, soft and low, Tell me secrets only the night can know. In every shadow, I see your face, In the jazz-filled silence of this place. Outro: As the night winds down, and the stars grow bold, In the jazz, I find your soul. [Slow fade out with the saxophone taking a gentle lead, leaving a lingering sense of longing]
