Velvet Sunsets

Amber lights flicker through my rearview

Driving slow where old memories grew

City nights paint the world in gold

Stories from the past silently retold

Shadows stretching underneath the streetlamps

Whispering dreams we could not recamp

Turn the dial, let the radio play

Summer echoes, carrying yesterday

Velvet sunsets on the horizon line

Time slips away with a glass of wine

Easy laughter, hearts in tune

Chasing the fading afternoon

Sweet reminders the day will soon

Fade into the velvet moon

Smiles linger in the autumn breeze

Photographs dance, swaying with the trees

Your hand in mine, warm and sincere

Promises whispered only we could hear

Lazy hours tangled in a song

Where silence tells us we both belong

Turn the dial, let the radio play

Summer echoes, carrying yesterday

Velvet sunsets on the horizon line

Time slips away with a glass of wine

Easy laughter, hearts in tune

Chasing the fading afternoon

Sweet reminders the day will soon

Fade into the velvet moon

Golden days may turn to mist

Memories sealed with a gentle kiss

Stay awhile, let the daylight rest

In this calm, we are our very best

Velvet sunsets on the horizon line

Time slips away with a glass of wine

Easy laughter, hearts in tune

Chasing the fading afternoon

Sweet reminders the day will soon

Fade into the velvet moonSo let’s hold on for a while

Gliding beneath that velvet smile
