Velvet Hour

[Intro] [whispered] Mmm... come closer, baby... (ooh) the city's fallin' asleep... [Verse 1] Cigarette burnin' slow on the rail Your robe half open, tellin' its own tale The radio's hummin' somethin' low Two glasses sweatin', nowhere else to go (nowhere, no...) [Pre-Chorus] The streetlights blink like they know our secret The clock says late but I don't wanna beat it [softer] So stay right here where the shadows fall... [Chorus] It's the velvet hour, baby Just you, just me, just the dark Let the whole world keep on turnin' We ain't goin' nowhere, sugar (no we ain't) This velvet hour, hold me Till the mornin' steals your name (ooh, ooh) [Verse 2] Your fingertips write words across my chest No need for talkin', let the quiet confess I've been a fool for hidin' what I feel But midnight got a way of makin' it real (so real, girl...) [Pre-Chorus] The wind slips cool through the curtain's lace I trace the moonlight sittin' on your face [softer] And every heartbeat says I'm yours, that's all... [Chorus] It's the velvet hour, baby Just you, just me, just the dark Let the whole world keep on turnin' We ain't goin' nowhere, sugar (no we ain't) This velvet hour, hold me Till the mornin' steals your name (ooh, ooh) [Bridge] [building] I don't need the sun to rise Don't need no promise, no goodbyes Just the smoke and the sway And the taste of what you don't gotta say [whispered] Come here... let it stay... [Chorus - softer] It's the velvet hour, darlin' Just you, just me, just the dark (mmm, yeah) Let the whole world keep on turnin' We found somethin' worth the wait, oh... [Outro] [fade-out] Slow it down... slow it down now... (ooh) don't let the daylight in... Just the velvet, just the velvet... Stay with me, baby... stay...
