[Verse 1] You came in slow Like rain on glass One hand on your coat One smile that lasts The room went still When you said my name Like it knew my heart Was already changed [Pre-Chorus] Now the clock leans back And the floor feels new Every little glance Pulls me close to you [Chorus] Velvet hour, stay right here (velvet hour) Slow romance and crystal clear (stay right here) Hold my hand, let the whole room fade (whole room fade) We can burn this night like a candle made (velvet hour) [Verse 2] You trace your cup With a careful hand I learn your laugh Like a secret land The sax sings low From the corner seat And your eyes say more Than your mouth can keep [Pre-Chorus] Now the bar turns gold And the city sleeps But your quiet words Wake the best in me [Chorus] Velvet hour, stay right here (velvet hour) Slow romance and crystal clear (stay right here) Hold my hand, let the whole room fade (whole room fade) We can burn this night like a candle made (velvet hour) [Bridge] No hurry now Let the night unwind We can move like smoke Through the back of time One soft step Then another one Till the dawn can wait Till the song is done [Chorus] Velvet hour, stay right here (velvet hour) Slow romance and crystal clear (stay right here) Hold my hand, let the whole room fade (whole room fade) We can burn this night like a candle made (velvet hour) [Outro] Just you and me And that slow, sweet sway (velvet hour) Let it linger here Till the morning breaks
