Liner Notes

Been listening to the rest of you doing the occasional "steamy" song, so thought I'd give it a try... (Maybe not my best vocal, 'cuz I'm trying not to laugh!)

I hope you enjoy it, while I go take a cold shower!

VELVET WHISPERS IN THE DARK

Words & Music

In the quiet of the night,
where shadows blend and part,
We speak in
VELVET WHISPERS IN THE DARK.
A world away from day,
where our secret love embarks,
Finding solace in the silence,
turning embers into sparks.

Underneath the crescent moon,
stealing moments oh so rare,
With the stars our confidants,
up in the cool night air.
But the dawn's impending light,
catches us so unaware,
Leaving just the scent of jasmine,
ambience for our affair.

CHORUS:
VELVET WHISPERS IN THE DARK,
soft as a sigh,
Love's language spoken with a look,
not a cry.
In the cover of the night,
underneath the sky so stark,
We live a lifetime in each moment,
with VELVET WHISPERS IN THE DARK.

Outside the world's eyes wide,
with its always judging heart,
Knows not of the love that
in the darkness starts.
Bound by chains not of our making,
we play our quiet parts,
Yet in our secret garden,
are we not true works of art.

In every fleeting touch,
in every stolen glance so bright,
Our veiled love dances on,
how can our love not be right?
For in the depth of night,
when outside sings a meadowlark,
Speaking love's eternal language,
with VELVET WHISPERS IN THE DARK.

CHORUS:
VELVET WHISPERS IN THE DARK,
soft as a sigh,
Love's language spoken with a look,
not a cry.
In the cover of the night,
underneath the sky so stark,
We live a lifetime in each moment,
with VELVET WHISPERS IN THE DARK.
