Soulful

(Tempo: Slow, melancholic ballad)

​(Verse 1)

The neon signs are blinking, a misty shade of blue,

But all the lights in Memphis can't shine as bright as you.

I've got a pocket full of letters, that I never learned to mail,

Just a ghost upon the highway, riding on a lonely trail.

​(Chorus)

Oh, the velvet night is falling, and I'm calling out your name,

Caught inside a quiet fire, but I can't outrun the flame.

Are you dreaming of me, darling, when the weeping willows cry?

Or am I just a fallen star, in your dark and endless sky?

​(Verse 2)

I hear a jukebox playing, a slow and heavy tune,

It echoes through the diner, beneath a silver moon.

I bought a silver locket, I swore I'd bring it home,

Now it's hanging on a chain of tears, while I wander all alone.

​(Chorus)

Oh, the velvet night is falling, and I'm calling out your name,

Caught inside a quiet fire, but I can't outrun the flame.

Are you dreaming of me, darling, when the weeping willows cry?

Or am I just a fallen star, in your dark and endless sky?

​(Bridge)

They say that time's a healer, but time is just a thief,

Stealing every sweet tomorrow, leaving nothing but the grief.

If I could hold you one last time, let the spinning record fade,

I'd trade this golden kingdom for the promises we made.

​(Spoken Word - Deep, tender voice)

Darling, wherever you are tonight... I hope you're listening to the wind.

Because every breeze that rustles the leaves... is just my heart, whispering your name.

And until the river runs dry, I'll be waiting right here.

​(Outro)

Just a forgotten melody... fading in the blue.

Still loving you.

Mm-hmm, still loving you.

Lord, I'm still loving you.

(Fade out with a slow acoustic guitar strum)
