Lyrics

Verse One
Looking out on the city as darkness falls
Crowded streets become lonesome Boulevards
Misty shadows appear in the shimmering light
As echoes of the evening fade into the night

Chorus
Silent city sidewalks seem somewhat forlorn
There's a strange kind of beauty when nobody's home
Two lovers by the fountain on a clear winter's night
Under glistening rooftops caressed by starlight
One last gentle kiss as he bids her adieu
Then softly he whispers, I love you

Bridge
A cool wind whistles down forsaken avenues
Like a ghost in the distance he fades slowly from view
His love for his sweetheart, like a blanket of gold
Keeps him warm as he waits for their dreams to unfold

Chorus
Silent city sidewalks seem a little forlorn
There's a strange kind of beauty when nobody's home
Two lovers by the fountain on a clear winter's night
Under glistening rooftops caressed by starlight
One last gentle kiss as he bids her adieu
Then softly he whispers, I love you.


Great easy listening pop song with very thoughtful lyrics! The vocalist has a voice with a good gentle tone that fits the song perfectly. Production is neat and well suited. Good job on this piece!

Nice intro. Good build up with the story in the lyrics. Interesting chord changes in the bridge.

'One last gentle kiss......whispers....' beautiful lyrics - charming.

I like the bv's 'ooh's' and the rhythmic changes in the development in the middle - it adds another dimension to this track.

Neat end where it returns to the intro piano hook.

Lovely mellow track that is highly listenable.
