(Intro) (Warm, jazzy chords on a Rhodes piano) (Soft finger snaps: Snap, snap) (A smooth, walking bassline enters) Mmm, yeah... Just let it breathe. (Verse 1) Honey dripping from a silver spoon Under the gaze of a paper moon. The tea is cold but the vibe is right We’re wrapping ourselves in the velvet night. Soft focus, shadows on the wall Waiting for the summer rain to fall. No need for words, no need to rush Just the sound of the silence and a painter’s brush. (Pre-Chorus) (Music gets slightly more rhythmic) Every breath is a melody Written in a minor key. Slow it down... Just let it spin around. (Chorus) (Harmonized, silky vocals) It’s that velvet midnight feeling Got my spirit hitting the ceiling. Smooth like satin, deep like the sea Sugar, you’re the only soul for me. (Sweet soul... velvet midnight...) (Verse 2) Vinyl crackle and a scented flame I’m whispering the letters of your name. The city’s humming like a distant drum Waiting for the morning light to come. But we’re anchored in this golden haze Lost in the rhythm of our own sweet ways. (Bridge) (Piano solo - very soulful and improvised) (Spoken word/Whisper) They say time is money. But tonight... time is just a luxury. We’ve got plenty to spend. (Chorus) It’s that velvet midnight feeling Got my spirit hitting the ceiling. Smooth like satin, deep like the sea Sugar, you’re the only soul for me. (Outro) (The bass fades out slowly) Keep it smooth... Mmm-hmm... Velvet... midnight... (Final soft piano chord) (End)
