[Intro — Floating synth pads, delicate piano arpeggios, distant operatic harmonies] Ah-ah-ah... Ooh-ooh-ooh... Somewhere beyond the stars... Just you and I. [Verse 1 — Soft, intimate tenor; gentle electronic pulse] City lights are fading blue Every road leads back to you We leave the noise, we leave the crowd Where the stars are burning loud Your silhouette against the moon The night is ending far too soon You take my hand without a word And suddenly we're leaving Earth [Pre-Chorus — Rising strings, shimmering synth build] Close your eyes and count to three Let the universe set us free No more gravity tonight We're just shadows made of light [Chorus — Dreamy melodic-house drop, soaring tenor] Underneath the velvet sky You and I, we come alive Let the whole world pass us by We don't need a reason why Velvet sky, velvet sky Hold me till the morning light If forever's just tonight Let me love you one more time Oh-oh-oh, velvet sky! Ah-ah-ah, you and I! [Post-Chorus — Atmospheric house drop, layered operatic vocalizations] Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... Ooh-ooh-ooh... Velvet sky... Velvet sky... [Verse 2 — Warm rhythmic vocals; deep melodic bass] Silver clouds and golden rain Every kiss erases pain We're dancing where the shadows fall Like there's no tomorrow after all Your heartbeat underneath my hand A language only we understand And if the sunrise steals this view I'll keep a piece of night with you [Pre-Chorus — Building percussion, airy falsetto harmonies] Close your eyes and count to three Let the universe set us free No more gravity tonight We're just shadows made of light [Chorus — Full melodic-house production] Underneath the velvet sky You and I, we come alive Let the whole world pass us by We don't need a reason why Velvet sky, velvet sky Hold me till the morning light If forever's just tonight Let me love you one more time [Bridge — Beat disappears; solo operatic tenor, swelling celestial strings] Ahhhhh—ahhhhh... Beyond the stars, beyond the sea There's nowhere else I'd rather be And when the darkness turns to blue I'll find my universe in you [Operatic crescendo — Sustained high tenor note with layered harmonies] AHHH—AHHH—AHHH! [Final Chorus — Euphoric melodic-house drop, full strings, soaring operatic harmonies] UNDERNEATH THE VELVET SKY! YOU AND I, WE COME ALIVE! Let the whole world pass us by We don't need a reason why! Velvet sky, velvet sky! Hold me till the morning light! If forever's just tonight LET ME LOVE YOU ONE MORE TIME! [Outro — House beat dissolves, piano arpeggios and airy falsetto] Ah-ah-ah... Velvet sky... You and I... Forever tonight.
