Intro
Strike up the band…
One more time.
Verse 1
Silk and satin in the candlelight,
Laughin’ loud on a velvet night.
Broken hearts in champagne smiles,
Dancin’ close for a little while.
Every face got a tale to tell,
Every kiss tastes of heaven and hell.
The band keeps swingin’, soft and slow,
Like the last sweet place we know.
Pre-Chorus
We don’t know what tomorrow brings,
So we sway to the rhythm the trumpet sings.
Chorus
It’s one last dance, so hold me tight,
Like this room is the world tonight.
Raise your glass to the love we found,
While the big band wraps us in sound.
If the dawn breaks hard when the music’s through,
We’ll still have me, and I’ll still have you.
Verse 2
Pearl-white smiles and tired eyes,
Every dream hid in a soft disguise.
Cigarette smoke and a gentle tune,
Floatin’ under a silver moon.
We twirl like time might fade away,
Like the clock won’t dare to say.
Every sorrow, every fear,
Melts away when the band is near.
Pre-Chorus
For just a while, we’re safe and warm,
Wrapped in a golden, swingin’ storm.
Chorus
It’s one last dance beneath the stars,
With our hearts and our battle scars.
We don’t care ‘bout the morning light,
We’re livin’ in this velvet night.
If this moment’s all we get,
We’ll love it with no regret.
Bridge
So spin me ‘round, don’t let me go,
Let the trumpet cry nice and low.
No yesterday, no tomorrow’s plan,
Just you, me, and the swingin’ band.
Final Chorus
It’s one last dance on a crowded floor,
Like we ain’t ever been here before.
When the lights go low and the music bends,
We’ll still feel this till the end—
Outro (twist)
The band plays wild, the room pretends…
“Forget goodbye,” the night defends…
Darlin’, this… will never end.
