[Verse] Behind the bar, I pour a quiet tune, Glass in hand, the night’s my shadowed room. The ice clicks soft, a metronome in time, Whispering secrets in a chilled, blue rhyme. [Pre-Chorus] No spotlight shines, just the gleam of neon hue, A solo act between the stir and screw. [Chorus] Here’s to the ice, my crystal partner’s dance, Chilling stories, every glance a chance. In the hush, we play our sly charade, Whispered songs in the cool cascade. [Verse] A two-step slow with bittersweet refrain, My words like velvet drape the windowpane. The shaker’s shake, a heartbeat’s gentle plea, Singing standards just for you and me. [Pre-Chorus] No crowd to cheer, but the night knows my name, A quiet jazz for one, but no shame. [Chorus] Here’s to the ice, my crystal partner’s dance, Chilling stories, every glance a chance. In the hush, we play our sly charade, Whispered songs in the cool cascade. [Bridge] Spin the record, watch the shadows sway, I’m the shy crooner of the midnight play. Lines on lips, smooth as a whispered vow, Sly smiles shared, if only you knew how. [Chorus] Here’s to the ice, my crystal partner’s dance, Chilling stories, every glance a chance. In the hush, we play our sly charade, Whispered songs in the cool cascade. [Chorus] Here’s to the ice, my crystal partner’s dance, Chilling stories, every glance a chance. In the hush, we play our sly charade, Whispered songs in the cool cascade. [Outro] So here I stay, with ice and love in tune, A bartender’s croon beneath the moon.
