Velvet Skies

Intro

Mmm...

Yeah...

Verse 1

I didn't mean to fall this fast

But some things aren't designed to last

You walked in like a gentle breeze

And suddenly I couldn't breathe

You caught my eyes across the room

Now every flower's in full bloom

I didn't plan to feel this way

But darling, here I wanna stay

Pre-Chorus

You're the kind of beautiful that ruins every plan

The kind of magic I could never understand

I've been running circles trying not to hold your hand

But I keep falling, falling, falling, goddamn...

Chorus

We could fly through velvet skies tonight

Paint the clouds in shades of golden light

Kiss me slow and make the stars align

All I want is you and I entwined

Velvet skies, velvet skies

Heaven's looking right into your eyes

Every time you hold me, I realize

There's nothing sweeter than this velvet sky...

Verse 2

You asked me what I'm thinking of

I laughed and whispered, "Nothing, love"

But truth is, I was counting ways

To keep you in my yesterdays

'Cause everyone who came before

Could never open up that door

But you just walked right through the frame

And now I'll never be the same

Pre-Chorus

You're the kind of gentle that could break down every wall

The kind of stillness when the world is standing tall

I've been scared of heights, but darling, with you I won't fall

'Cause I keep floating, floating, floating through it all...

Chorus

We could fly through velvet skies tonight

Paint the clouds in shades of golden light

Kiss me slow and make the stars align

All I want is you and I entwined

Velvet skies, velvet skies

Heaven's looking right into your eyes

Every time you hold me, I realize

There's nothing sweeter than this velvet sky...

Bridge - Stripped back

I don't need the world to understand

I just need the shelter of your hand

Every fear I had, you made it fade

You're the softest promise ever made

And if tomorrow takes us separate ways

I'll still love you through the velvet haze...

Final Chorus

We could fly through velvet skies tonight!

Paint the clouds in shades of golden light

Kiss me slow and make the stars align

All I want is you and I entwined

Velvet skies, velvet skies (ooh-ooh)

Heaven's looking right into your eyes (into your eyes)

Every time you smile, I realize

You're my forever, my velvet sky...

Outro

Velvet skies...

Mmm...

Just you and I...
