Midnight Velvet

[Intro – warm saxophone trill, soft piano chords] Moonlight spills on velvet seats Whispers float through city streets [Verse 1 – gentle upright bass, brushed drums] Neon signs paint the window pane I’m sipping wine, waiting for the rain Your laugh still echoes in my ear The kind of sound that makes the world disappear [Chorus – soaring saxophone melody, layered piano] Midnight velvet wraps around my soul Every note makes the cold unfold We danced like no one was watching then A moment I’ll never let end [Verse 2 – subtle organ hum, softer drums] The band plays slow, the lights grow dim I trace the rim of my empty gin You left a scarf with a rose perfume A little piece of you to chase the gloom [Chorus – intensified saxophone, warm vocal harmonies] Midnight velvet wraps around my soul Every beat makes the old wounds whole We talked till the stars began to bend A moment I’ll never let end [Bridge – sparse piano, quiet bass line] Time moves on, the clock ticks slow But that night’s magic still grows I don’t need much, just this song To keep your memory holding strong [Solo – smoky saxophone improvisation, soft piano accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, lush saxophone swells] Midnight velvet wraps around my soul Every chord makes the dark unfold We loved like the world would never mend A moment I’ll never let end [Outro – fading saxophone, final piano chord] Moonlight fades on velvet seats Your whisper still lingers in the streets
