Moonlight whispers don't tell a soul
Secrets sparkle in a crystal bowl
Velvet skies paint our alibi
The city's awake but we're running dry
Smoke curls slow from a midnight flame
Every shadow knows your name
The saxophone moans a quiet plea
And I'm lost in the rhythm where you ought to be
Oh darling we're dancing on thin air tonight
Your heartbeat syncs with the streetlight's light
A melody tangled between wrong and right
Moonlight alibi fades with morning's bite
Champagne dreams in a crinkled gown
Diamonds laugh but they pull me down
Cigarette ashes fall like snow
And my heart's on fire but you'll never know
Oh the keys on the piano never lie
Every note's a tear you made me cry
But I'd trade my pain for another chance
To lose myself in our reckless dance
Oh darling we're dancing on thin air tonight
Your heartbeat syncs with the streetlight's light
A melody tangled between wrong and right
Moonlight alibi fades with morning's bite
