Velvet Nights

You lit a candle near the glass
And watched the evening slowly pass
The skyline wore a velvet hue
I only saw the light in you

The stereo played something low
A voice that knew which way to go
You leaned your head against the chair
And whispered something in the air

I didn’t ask i didn’t move
The night had nothing left to prove
Your touch was quiet like the breeze
A moment wrapped in silent ease

I traced the curve of your perfume
The saxophone dissolved the room
And though we knew it wouldn't stay
We let the hours drift away

Now every night that feels like wine
Reminds me of your hand in mine
A velvet dream a softened flame
That left me longing just the same
