Velvet Holiday Parade

Verse 1 There’s a glow on every doorway, A little gold in the air, Coats brushed off at the entrance, Perfume, laughter, everywhere. The band is tuning softly, While the city shakes off gray— Tonight the cold can wait outside, We’re having our holiday parade. Pre-Chorus Hear that piano talking sweet, Hear that bassline stroll— Everybody’s got a secret smile, And the room is warm as coal. Chorus Ooh, it’s a velvet holiday parade, Hearts dressed up, lights unafraid, Let the good times shimmer and stay— In this velvet holiday parade. Raise your glass, let the horns reply, Let the snow fall, we’ll be fine— Tonight we sparkle our own way In this velvet holiday parade. Verse 2 Somewhere there’s a streetlight swinging, Somebody’s singing low, But in here the world is turning To a slow, sweet holiday glow. No need for perfect poses, No need to hurry away— Just a room full of bright faces In our little winter cabaret. Pre-Chorus Hear that laughter in the brass, Hear that rhythm roll— Every worry slips right off you When the season takes control. Chorus Ooh, it’s a velvet holiday parade, Hearts dressed up, lights unafraid, Let the good times shimmer and stay— In this velvet holiday parade. Raise your glass, let the horns reply, Let the snow fall, we’ll be fine— Tonight we sparkle our own way In this velvet holiday parade. Bridge Let the night be playful, Let it swing and breathe, We don’t need a spotlight— We’ve got evergreen. If the year was heavy, Leave it at the door, ’Cause the only thing we’re carrying Is a little something more. Final Chorus Yeah, it’s a velvet holiday parade, Every shadow turns to champagne, Let the good times shimmer and stay— In this velvet holiday parade. Raise your glass, let the horns reply, Let the snow fall, we’ll be fine— Tonight we sparkle our own way In this velvet holiday parade. Outro tag Velvet… holiday… parade… (keep it swinging…)
