[Verse] Cinnamon swirls in a porcelain cup, Sunlight spills through the window, slow and hush. The saxophone sighs, just a whisper low, Like a secret I’m not supposed to know. [Pre-Chorus] Champagne bubbles, but the beat’s asleep, You’d think the band was afraid of the leap. But I’m dancing with you, no need for a crowd— This gentle jazz is where we’re allowed. [Chorus] Ooh, the band plays too softly, but I’m feelin’ it strong, Like velvet whispers on a velvet song. You’re sipping slow, I’m smilin’ wide, Sunday’s love with no need to hide. Ooh, the band plays too softly— But we’re loud in our own quiet way. [Verse] Your fingers trace the rim of your glass, Till the melody drifts through the air like a pass. The trumpets mumble, the piano dreams, But your eyes are loud, and that’s all I need. [Pre-Chorus] Champagne bubbles, but the beat’s asleep, You’d think the band was afraid of the leap. But I’m dancing with you, no need for a crowd— This gentle jazz is where we’re allowed. [Chorus] Ooh, the band plays too softly, but I’m feelin’ it strong, Like velvet whispers on a velvet song. You’re sipping slow, I’m smilin’ wide, Sunday’s love with no need to hide. Ooh, the band plays too softly— But we’re loud in our own quiet way. [Bridge] They don’t need drums, they don’t need a shout, Just the way you’re looking, just the way you’re out Of time, out of tune, out of all that’s known— But the world’s still spinning, and we’ve already grown. [Chorus] Ooh, the band plays too softly, but I’m feelin’ it strong, Like velvet whispers on a velvet song. You’re sipping slow, I’m smilin’ wide, Sunday’s love with no need to hide. Ooh, the band plays too softly— But we’re loud in our own quiet way. [Outro] So let the horns just hum, let the silence stay… We’re the sound that no one hears— But we’re all there.
