[Title: Midnight, May I?] [Spoken Intro] It's midnight. You've been looking at me like you've got a question. I've got one too. [Verse 1] Through the window, orange lights are glowing Someone inside calls out the time You move my jacket closer on your shoulders Then put your hand back into mine You say, "I had a plan before I got here" I ask you how the plan was meant to go You smile and step a little nearer Say, "By now, I thought that you would know" [Pre-Chorus] I think I understand you But I'd rather hear you say You look up when I ask you And the room feels far away [Chorus] Midnight, may I kiss you? You say, "I was hoping that you would" All that music through the window And we're standing still for once Midnight, will you stay here? Just another minute in my arms You turn toward me with your answer And the night goes soft around us [Verse 2] When we part, you start a little laughing Say your lipstick's somewhere on my face I tell you I was trying to look distinguished You say, "Well, that will have to wait" Then you touch the edge of your disguise And lift the ribbon gently from your hair I hold it while you smooth it with your fingers Happy just to stand beside you there [Pre-Chorus] You say, "So much for being mysterious" I say, "There's more I'd like to know" You smile and rest your hand against my shoulder With no intention yet of letting go [Chorus] Midnight, may I kiss you? You say, "I was hoping that you would" All that music through the window And we're standing still for once Midnight, will you stay here? Just another minute in my arms You turn toward me with your answer And the night goes soft around us [Bridge - Drums Drop] I'd been thinking of this moment Since you walked across the floor But I didn't know how sweet The quiet afterward could be You lay your cheek against my shoulder We hear somebody call your name You say, "They'll find us in a minute" And we stay [Final Chorus - Call and Response] Midnight, may I kiss you? [You know my answer now] All that music through the window [Let it play, let it play] Midnight, will you stay here? Just another minute in my arms You turn toward me with your answer And the night goes soft around us [Spoken Outro] One more minute? [One more minute.] All right.
