Verse 1 Ooh… the night comes down in satin, And the streets wear diamond clothes, Every window’s got a candle, Every sidewalk hums and glows. I’ve been walking through December, With my collar turned up high, And the cold don’t feel so heavy When your memory passes by. Pre-Chorus Mm… hear that distant laughter, Like a song I used to know… But I feel you in the quiet— In the silver and the slow. Chorus Silver… and slow, That’s the way this season holds me, Like a record playing low. Silver… and slow, Every breath a little softer When the winter starts to glow. And baby, in the stillness, I can feel a tender fire— Silver and slow… Lift me higher. Verse 2 There’s a jazz bar on the corner, Playing something sweet and blue, And the bassline in the doorway Feels like it was meant for you. Snow is swirling like a secret Only midnight gets to keep, And the whole world turns to velvet When the city falls asleep. Pre-Chorus Mm… let the clock keep turning, We don’t need to chase the glow— Heaven lives inside the moment, In the silver and the slow. Chorus Silver… and slow, That’s the way this season holds me, Like a record playing low. Silver… and slow, Every breath a little softer When the winter starts to glow. And baby, in the stillness, I can feel a tender fire— Silver and slow… Lift me higher. Bridge Oh, I learned something in winter, That the summer never told— Love can be a quiet river Running deep beneath the cold. So if the night gets heavy, Let it come… let it show— ’Cause there’s mercy in the hush now, In the silver and the slow. Final Chorus (bigger / ad-libs friendly) Silver… and slow, That’s the way this season holds me, Like a record playing low. Silver… and slow, Every breath a little softer When the winter starts to glow. (Oh it glows…) And baby, in the stillness, I can feel a tender fire— Silver and slow… (So slow…) Lift me higher.
