Midnight Velvet Chair

[Intro] (Slow, walking double bass line enters, followed by a soft brush on the snare and a few lonely piano chords) [Verse 1] The rain is dancing on the window pane Washing out the day and the city’s stain A neon sign flickers in shades of blue Casting long shadows, looking for something new Steam is rising from a porcelain cup The sun went down, but the moon is up [Chorus] Oh, it’s a midnight kind of feeling When the rhythm starts its healing Just a saxophone and a velvet chair And a little bit of magic in the air We’re drifting on a cool, steady breeze Moving through the night with a natural ease [Verse 2] The clock on the wall has forgotten the hour The city is quiet, losing its power No need to rush, no place to be Just the bass and the piano for company A syncopated beat, a minor key twist Like a memory fading into the mist [Bridge] (Instrumental Break: Smoldering saxophone solo that builds slightly then settles back into the groove) [Chorus] Oh, it’s a midnight kind of feeling When the rhythm starts its healing Just a saxophone and a velvet chair And a little bit of magic in the air We’re drifting on a cool, steady breeze Moving through the night with a natural ease [Outro] (Piano notes become sparse and delicate) Keep it smooth... Just a little bit of soul... Let the melody take control... (Final soft brush on the cymbal) [Fade to end]
