Verse 1 Sunset paints the backyard, brisket’s slow and sweet You smile across the table, sharing stories as we eat I brought a bottle of red, you surprised me with chocolates too Somehow tonight feels different—something’s blooming, something new Chorus Raise a glass, here’s to us tonight More than friends in the fading light Barbecue brisket, laughter and wine Your hand brushes mine—it feels by design Verse 2 Side by side at the chessboard, our fingers lightly touch You tease me with a grin—suddenly that means so much The summer air’s warm, but your eyes are warming me more This gentle conversation is an open, hopeful door Chorus Raise a glass, here’s to us tonight More than friends in the fading light Barbecue brisket, laughter and wine This moment, this spark, could be by design Bridge Maybe it’s the Merlot or the stars up above But hearts tend to know when they’re falling in love Soft words and smiles, the rest disappears In your arms by the fire, amore feels near Outro Stay a little longer, let the embers burn slow From brisket to amore, darling, let yourself know
