In the haze of neon lights
In this old café tonight
Time slows down to a crawl
As shadows dance along the wall
Softly softly the piano plays
Underneath the smokey haze
Whispers in the dim-lit air
Stories linger everywhere
A solitary figure sips his wine
Lost in thoughts a moment's shrine
Echoes of laughter secrets shared
In this corner where souls bared
Softly softly the saxophone weeps
In this haven where silence keeps
Broken hearts and dreams aglow
In this dim-lit afterglow
The night unfolds like a velvet sky
Stars in eyes that cannot lie
Drifting through this midnight dream
Where every sigh's a silent scream
Softly softly the bassline hums
Underneath the city's thrums
Whispers in the candlelight
Fade away into the night
In this downbeat lounge we'll stay
Till the break of dawn we sway
Lost in tales of what could be
In this café's nocturne you and me
