City lights blur through the cab window
You're wearing black with lips of Bordeaux
Jazz whispers low from the café glow
I’m already falling, but you don’t know
Velvet evenings, slow like wine
Every look, a secret sign
Time stands still when you're near
In your silence, I hear
Velvet evenings, pulling me in
Wrapped in shadows, soft as sin
Smoke curls lazy in the midnight air
You speak in glances, unaware
The world fades out, we disappear
In this jazz-soaked atmosphere
Velvet evenings, slow like wine
Every look, a secret sign
Time stands still when you're near
In your silence, I hear
Velvet evenings, pulling me in
Wrapped in shadows, soft as sin
When the music dies, will you still stay?
Or will velvet evenings slip away?
