Verse 1
Under the mirror ball, I saw your face,
silver tears in a crowded place.
You smiled like danger, soft and slow,
and I knew I should run, but I couldn’t go.
Your hands were cold, your eyes were fire,
you pulled me close with a dark desire.
The music played like a broken dream,
sweet as honey, cruel as a scream.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, love, you wear the night so well,
like a secret no one dares to tell.
I hear your name in the midnight air,
and I keep falling though you’re never there.
Chorus
Velvet shadows, take my heart,
kiss me gently, tear me apart.
Dancing slowly in the blue moonlight,
loving you feels wrong, but it feels so right.
Velvet shadows, hold me again,
pleasure and sorrow, lover and pain.
If this is heaven, why does it burn?
If this is love, why don’t I learn?
Verse 2
You left a rose on my windowsill,
black as the night, and colder still.
A little note with no goodbye,
only your name and a lipstick sign.
I tried to forget you, I tried to be free,
but every song brings you back to me.
The disco glows, the record turns,
and in my chest your memory burns.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, love, you move like candlelight,
soft in the dark, then gone from sight.
I call your name, but the room is bare,
only perfume in the midnight air.
Chorus
Velvet shadows, take my heart,
kiss me gently, tear me apart.
Dancing slowly in the blue moonlight,
loving you feels wrong, but it feels so right.
Velvet shadows, hold me again,
pleasure and sorrow, lover and pain.
If this is heaven, why does it burn?
If this is love, why don’t I learn?
Bridge
La-la-la, the night is crying,
la-la-la, my heart is lying.
I say I’m done, I say goodbye,
then dream of you when I close my eyes.
Final Chorus
Velvet shadows, take my heart,
kiss me gently, tear me apart.
Dancing slowly in the blue moonlight,
loving you feels wrong, but it feels so right.
Velvet shadows, hold me again,
pleasure and sorrow, lover and pain.
If this is heaven, why does it burn?
If this is love, why don’t I learn?
Outro
Velvet shadows in the night,
love me wrong and hold me tight.
