Under lamplight glow where whispers sway
Shadows dance in the city’s ballet
Your touch lingers soft like a mellow tune
Filling the night with velvet moon
Oh the stars lean close to hear this song
Where our hearts have found where they belong
In your eyes the skies forever bloom
Wrapped in the warmth of velvet moon
City hum plays low like a smoky haze
Breath of evening hums sweet cliches
Footsteps in rhythm hearts collide too soon
Caught in the notes of the velvet moon
We don’t need tomorrow’s steady gaze
Living moment to moment in our selfish daze
Let the saxophone serenade us in June
As love bends softly within velvet moon
Oh the stars lean close to hear this song
Where our hearts have found where they belong
In your eyes the skies forever bloom
Wrapped in the warmth of velvet moon
Night fades away but the tune won’t leave
Timeless chords on which we weave
Through silken shadows our love’s cocoon
A gentle echo of the velvet moon
