[Verse 1] [F1] The avenue is cooling In a glass of orange rain [F2] Taxi tails are fading Past the baker on the lane [F1] A boy locks up the corner store With keys like little bells [F2] We cross the painted crosswalk And the moon just barely swells [Pre-Chorus] [F1] Stay a little longer Let the night lean in [F2] Hear the city breathing Through its open gin [Chorus] [F1] One night in the city (One night in the city) [F2] Your hand in my sleeve (Your hand in my sleeve) [F1] We glow in the afterglow (Oh, we glow) [F2] And nothing else can leave [Verse 2] [F1] A saxophone from nowhere Spills gold on the stone [F2] Someone laughs on the balcony Like they’re never going home [F1] We watch the windows sparkle Then soften into blue [F2] The whole block turns to velvet When I’m walking next to you [Pre-Chorus] [F1] Stay a little longer Let the night lean in [F2] Hear the city breathing Through its open gin [Chorus] [F1] One night in the city (One night in the city) [F2] Your hand in my sleeve (Your hand in my sleeve) [F1] We glow in the afterglow (Oh, we glow) [F2] And nothing else can leave [Bridge] [F1] If morning finds us, let it Find us slow and bright [F2] We’ll keep this little moment Folded in the light [F1] No need to name forever When the streetlamps start to fade [F2] Just hum me back to sunset And the promise that we made [Chorus] [F1] One night in the city (One night in the city) [F2] Your hand in my sleeve (Your hand in my sleeve) [F1] We glow in the afterglow (Oh, we glow) [F2] And nothing else can leave [Outro] [F1] One night in the city [F2] Soft as a silver plea [F1] One night in the city [F2] Stay here with me
