Bittersweet Silhouette

Couples swaying, to love's old croon [Pre-Chorus] Strolling down through a lane of reminisce All that's left now is the night's soft kiss Her shadow lingers where the laughter used to be [Chorus] Romance born in the bright lights May fade in the lonely nights Romance born in the bright lights May fade in the lonely nights You may find that memory fades too soon [Verse] It's the wrong time, and the jazz plays Though the band swings in such grand ways It's not her laugh, but the tune's in key Glasses clinking in the dim lit bar Eyes meeting from afar, a fleeting star [Pre-Chorus] Another dance on the waxen floors Holding close to what once was yours A whisper, a wish, in the saxophone's croon [Chorus] Romance born in the bright lights May find the dawn, with its sobering sights In the broad day, love sometimes takes flight [Verse] The mirror ball spins to the trumpet's call She could be anywhere, anywhere at all It's those soft shoes that glide, bittersweet, and so fleet Silhouettes merge in rhythm, so bittersweet
