Lights Stay Low

Don’t turn them on…

Not yet.

Morning waits beyond the glass,

But I don’t want this night to pass,

The city’s trading stars for blue,

Still all I see is you,

Half-empty cups, a quiet room,

Perfume lingering in the gloom,

Every second softly fades,

Like a photograph in rain.

If daylight finds us…

Let it wait…

Some moments deserve…

A few more minutes…

Keep the lights stayin’ low,

Don’t let the morning know,

We’re still dancing in the silence,

Holding onto something gold,

Keep the lights stayin’ low,

Don’t let this feeling go,

If tonight becomes a memory,

Let it be a beautiful one.

Your reflection next to mine,

Feels suspended out of time,

No more music, no parade,

Only echoes that we made,

Every laugh still fills the air,

Like it’s floating everywhere,

If this is where the story bends,

I don’t want the night to end.

No countdown…

No goodbye…

Just one more look…

Before the sunrise…

Keep the lights stayin’ low,

Don’t let the morning know,

We’re still dancing in the silence,

Holding onto something gold,

Keep the lights stayin’ low,

Don’t let this feeling go,

If tonight becomes a memory,

Let it be a beautiful one.

When the city finally wakes…

It’ll never know…

How much magic lived…

Inside these quiet hours…

Keep the lights stayin’ low,

Let the sunrise take it slow,

Every heartbeat tells the story,

Better than we’ll ever know,

Keep the lights stayin’ low,

One last promise before we go,

Even when the night is over,

Its light will always glow.

Leave the lights…

Just like this.
