VELVET WHISPERS II: LET THE MORNING WAIT
[Intro — warm Rhodes, vinyl hiss, soft rain; 72 BPM]
[Deep spoken voice]
I’m here Baby…
(I never left.)
You remember those velvet whispers?
Come closer…
We ain’t finished yet.
[Breathy harmony]
Let the morning wait…
[Verse 1 — intimate baritone; soft rim clicks]
Your earrings resting by a half-full glass,
We put our phones down, let the hours pass.
You steal my shirt, leave your perfume,
Now every thread reminds me of this room.
Your laugh comes easy when the record skips,
I catch the little smile before you bite your lip.
You say, “One more song,” and pull me near—
Baby, there’s nowhere else I’d be but here.
[Pre-Chorus — bass blooms; harmonies rise]
Let that needle find another groove,
I love the way the quiet sounds with you.
Your hand in mine, your cheek against my chest,
Nothing left to prove, nothing to impress.
[Chorus — velvet lead; wide, soft harmonies]
Let the morning wait, wait, wait,
I love you close, you love me right back.
Let the last song play, play, play,
Keep moving with me till the sky turns gray.
Slow kiss, soft smile, your hand on my face—
I could spend forever at this pace.
Stay right here, let the whole world wake…
Let the morning wait.
[Echo: wait… wait…]
[Instrumental — 8 bars]
[Clean guitar answers Rhodes; deep rounded bass]
[Breathy “ooh” harmonies drift left to right]
[Verse 2 — gentle melodic phrasing]
The candle flickers, then it gives out,
You reach for me without a word or sound.
I know that sigh, you know my sleepy grin,
We start the record from the top again.
You draw a heart across the window steam,
Then write our names where the glass comes clean.
I used to wish these hours wouldn’t end;
Now I get to wake and choose you again.
[Pre-Chorus — kick softens; close vocal]
Let that needle find another groove,
Still finding little things to love in you.
Your hand in mine, your cheek against my chest,
We let the silence finish all the rest.
[Chorus]
Let the morning wait, wait, wait,
I love you close, you love me right back.
Let the last song play, play, play,
Keep moving with me till the sky turns gray.
Slow kiss, soft smile, your hand on my face—
I could spend forever at this pace.
Stay right here, let the whole world wake…
Let the morning wait.
[Bridge — drums drop; Rhodes and falsetto]
When daylight slips between the blinds,
You’ll have these same two arms to find.
I’ll learn your mornings like I know your nights,
How you take your coffee, how you like the light.
[Low whisper]
Still you…
Every time.
[Final hook — layered harmonies; restrained ad-libs]
Let the morning wait, wait, wait…
Keep your hand right here on my face.
Let the last song play, play, play…
Girl, I love you in a thousand little ways.
[Outro — guitar lingers; rain fades]
[Spoken]
Grizzly…
Velvet whispers…
And you’re still listening.
[Whisper]
Stay…
