Amber Afterglow

[Intro]
[Verse]
The ice begins to thin
The gin is settling in
Beneath your quiet, knowing grin
The evening starts a dizzy spin
A soft light on your skin
Where the midnight dreams begin
[Pre-Chorus]
A whisper in the cool night air
A secret that we both can share
Beyond the velvet armchair pair
The world is barely there
[Chorus]
Sip from the crystal rim
The lights are getting dim
On a sudden, quiet whim
In the shadows, long and slim
Life is balanced on the brim
Sing a little midnight hymn
[Post-Chorus]
Doo-ba-dee-day
Softly we sway
In the dim-lit cafe
With nothing left to say
[Verse]
The stage is dark and wide
With nowhere left to hide
You’re sitting closely by my side
On this gentle, rising tide
A slow and steady, easy glide
With secrets as our only guide
[Pre-Chorus]
The street hums a tune
Beneath a fading moon
It ended far too soon
A soft and silver croon
[Chorus]
Sip from the crystal rim
The lights are getting dim
On a sudden, quiet whim
In the shadows, long and slim
Life is balanced on the brim
Sing a little midnight hymn
[Post-Chorus]
Doo-ba-dee-day
Softly we sway
In the dim-lit cafe
With nothing left to say
[Bridge]
The flugelhorn is sighing
The neon signs are dying
There’s no use in trying
To keep our hearts from flying
The morning light is prying
No more denying
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Sip from the crystal rim
The lights are getting dim
On a sudden, quiet whim
In the shadows, long and slim
Life is balanced on the brim
Sing a little midnight hymn
[Outro]
