[Intro]
Late night shadows on the stage
Notes float like smoke through the haze
Your silhouette against the wall
Making every moment stall
[Verse 1]
Three AM in a smoky room
Jazz and whiskey's sweet perfume
You move like silk across the floor
Every step leaves me wanting more
Professional distance, what a game
When the music speaks your name
[Chorus]
Sultry rehearsal, midnight's calling
Sheet music scattered, inhibitions falling
Baby, we both know this ain't just jazz
But timing's everything in class
[Verse 2]
Your fingers dance across the keys
While I'm caught here weak in the knees
Perfect posture, calculated grace
That smile playing on your face
We hit every mark just right
But something's burning in the night
[Bridge]
Damn these rules we have to play
These roles we take day after day
The brass is wailing, rhythm's tight
But honey, something ain't quite right
[Verse 3]
Paris nights and empty halls
Echo with our curtain calls
Professional partners on display
While passion has its secret way
Each note's a dangerous affair
In this dance of do-we-dare
[Chorus]
Sultry rehearsal, midnight's calling
Sheet music scattered, inhibitions falling
Baby, we both know this ain't just jazz
But timing's everything in class
[Outro]
The last note fades into the dark
Like promises we couldn't mark
Another night of perfect sound
While real music goes unbound
Sweet Sophie, that's how it goes
When the stage light dims and closes
