[Verse] Silk gloves trace the rim, shadows softly fall, Her pearls catch the light, in the darkened hall. A whisper on the breeze, a moment out of time, Tapping on the glass, like a secret rhyme. [Pre-Chorus] Silver notes are floating, in the smoky air, Every beat a longing, every breath a prayer. [Chorus] Tap, tap, tapping on my martini glass, Counting dreams that never seem to last. Velvet nights and memories that swirl, A woman lost in pearls, Tap, tap, tapping on my martini glass, Echoes of the past held in a grasp. Play the tune, let the heart unfurl, A lonely girl in pearls. [Verse] Eyes like midnight jazz, stories left untold, Fingers trace the time, fragile and bold. The band hums low, a melancholy sweep, While her pulse keeps time, in a rhythm deep. [Pre-Chorus] Silver notes are floating, in the smoky air, Every beat a longing, every breath a prayer. [Chorus] Tap, tap, tapping on my martini glass, Counting dreams that never seem to last. Velvet nights and memories that swirl, A woman lost in pearls, Tap, tap, tapping on my martini glass, Echoes of the past held in a grasp. Play the tune, let the heart unfurl, A lonely girl in pearls. [Bridge] Light fades away, but the music stays, Dancing shadows in the candle’s blaze. Pearls and glass, a fragile dance, Caught between a dream and chance. [Chorus] Tap, tap, tapping on my martini glass, Counting dreams that never seem to last. Velvet nights and memories that swirl, A woman lost in pearls, Tap, tap, tapping on my martini glass, Echoes of the past held in a grasp. Play the tune, let the heart unfurl, A lonely girl in pearls. [Outro] Softly tapping, softly swaying, In pearls she’s staying, Fading with the dawn, Till the night’s gone.
