Lionel Richie (1978–1985) 🌙 | Late Night Chicago Soul | Vintage Love Songs & Midnight Romance

The wine is breathing on the table Your glass reflects the amber light We're leaning in, the world is stable Just two hearts owning the night There's no need to rush the story We've got all the time we need Slow dance with me In the space between our shadows Slow dance with me Let the silence burn this way I'm lost inside your gaze In this warm and quiet place Slow dance with me Stay right here You move like a secret I'm keeping A gentle hand against my side The rest of the morning You're sleeping There's nowhere left for us to hide I see the truth behind your eyes In every breath we sigh Slow dance with me In the space between our shadows Slow dance with me Let the silence burn this way I'm lost inside your gaze In this warm and quiet place Slow dance with me Stay right here The clock is ticking on the wall Just a steady beat of you Leading me to something new Stay right here Slow dance with me In the space between our shadows Slow dance with me Let the silence burn this way I'm lost inside your gaze In this warm and quiet place Slow dance with me Stay right here Slow dance with me Stay right here The dial turns slow Through a sudden hum of familiar Brings back the girl you were coffee steamed Just a few lines left unsaid Now the speaker shakes with a ghost of us Turning quiet moments into dust That old frequency Calling you home to me It's the song we forgot to keep Playing while the world's asleep That old frequency Tuning in to what used to be I can hear us in the grain Dancing through the gentle rain You like the bridge I like the verse We thought we'd pretend every curse Just two kids in a denim light Driving toward the edge of night I haven't thought of your name But the middle age brings back the tears Funny how a three-minute line Can turn a heavy emotional time That old frequency Calling you home to me It's the song we forgot to keep Playing while the world's asleep That old frequency Tuning in to what used to be I can hear us in the grain Dancing through the gentle rain I try to change the station But the signal's pulling strong A sweet preoccupation Hidden in a simple song It's not just sound It's how we felt before The winter started to melt That old frequency Calling you home to me It's the song I forgot to keep Playing while the world's asleep That old frequency Tuning in to what used to be I can hear us in the grain Dancing through the gentle rain Tuning in to you Just the song we knew Let the music play Until the light of day I watched you pack that heavy leather case The one we bought for our first getaway You didn't look at me, just cleared the space Where all our quiet habits Used to stay I said some things I never should have said I let my pride stand Taller than my heart Now there's a coldness Sleeping in our bed And I don't know Where your forgiveness starts I am not ready to let things go I'm anchored to the life we made Every bit of love I truly owe I'll spend a thousand nights To see it fade I am not ready To walk away Give me one more chance To prove I'm real Whatever price There is for you to stay I'll sign it with every breath I feel We've got a history Written in the woods A million coffee cups And morning light I have been as present as I should But I'm not giving up without a fight Don't tell me that the spark has turned to dust Don't tell me that we've reached the final door There's still a foundation built on trust And I am willing to build so much more I am not ready to let things go I'm anchored to the life we made Every bit of love I truly owe I'll spend a thousand nights To see it fade I am not ready To walk away Give me one more chance To prove I'm real Whatever price There is for you to stay I'll sign it with every breath I feel My biggest fear is hearing silence grow Knowing I'm the one who let you slip You don't know If you leave I have nowhere to go The world just falls away within your grip Please don't go I'm ready to let this go I'm anchored to the life we made Every bit of love I truly owe I'll spend a thousand nights To see it fade I am not ready Give me one more chance To prove I'm real Whatever price There is for you to stay I'll sign it with every breath I feel Coffee steaming in the dark I see my future in your eyes Just a simple quiet spot Before the morning starts to rise Every single breath I make I choose you In the spring I choose you The years might change the way we love The pages of our skin Offers of this fool And this is where the joy begins From the kitchen to the shore From the valley to the height I will love you even more Every morning every night I choose you Through the winter and the spring I choose you More than any diamond ring I choose you When the world is lining I choose you I always will I always do It's a promise It's about It's the way I feel on the side Baby you're the only one I choose you More than any jewel I choose you I always will I always do Trust me I do I found the ink And a heavy sheet of wine The kitchen light is low It's late at night And the sand The ghosts of us are dancing in my It's a beautiful kind of blue Knowing that I'm losing you The door is closed the air is still If you won't love me someone will But it's a beautiful kind of blue I kept your key And the cedar drawer I don't expect to see you At my door The garden's overgrown Since you've been gone I'm learning how to face a quiet dawn It's a beautiful kind of blue Knowing that I'm losing you The door is closed the air is still If you won't love me someone will But it's a beautiful kind of blue I used to think that letting go was losing Like every step away was just a bruising But now I see the grace in everything I'm taking back the heart that's only mine It's a beautiful kind of blue Knowing that I'm losing you The door is closed the air is still If you won't love me someone will But it's a beautiful kind of blue I'm letting go It's a beautiful blue Just a letter to you Goodbye The kitchen light is a certain way Across the grain of this old wood I found a box of things without a name Until I saw the jacket that you wore The corners of the Polaroid are curling The summer day, a beach we used to know The way the dust is in the sunlight swirling It makes it hard to finally let you go Love is a quiet brew It stays behind when you leave Love is a quiet brew There's space to breathe It's not a ghost, it's just a grace A gentle mark you can erase Love is a quiet breeze Love is a quiet room The tea would always settle At the bottom of the blue ceramic cup The way you'd listen to the whistling kettle And how your eyes would always light up There's a comfort in the way the clock is ticking It doesn't feel like wasting time at all Just a habit that my heart is slowly picking To keep your laughter hanging on the wall Love is a quiet brew It stays behind when you leave Love is a quiet brew A little space to breathe It's not a ghost, it's just a grace A gentle mark you can erase Love is a quiet room Need to reach for the phone There's a soft steady hand Something I've started to understand Love is a quiet brew It stays behind when you leave Love is a quiet brew A little space to breathe It's not a ghost, it's just a grace A gentle mark you can erase Love is a quiet room Just a quiet room Where I remember you Slowly, softly Still here, still here Just a quiet stranger in a busy land Don't wait for a light, I know How much further I have left to go Then you spoke my name And the air got still Like a morning sun coming over the hill Suddenly the road doesn't feel so long Suddenly I know where I belong You are my home The only place I ever want to stay You are my home You watch the winter And the cold away After all this time of being on my own I finally found it, darling You are my home I used to keep my bags hanged by the bed Bags by the bed Listening to the restless voices in my head In my head But you pulled the curtains and you locked the door I don't have to run away anymore Cause you spoke my name And the air got still Like a morning sun coming over the hill Suddenly the road doesn't feel so long Suddenly I know where I belong You are The only place I ever want to stay You are my home You watch the winter And the cold away After all this time of being on my own I finally found it, darling You are my home I'm staying here I'm staying right here The same things you're all searching I'm all searching Just you and me You are my home Sweet home The phone is heavy in my hand More than I can stand I'll scroll the names just to see If you're still awake like me One little touch and we're back Falling against my chest Giving up on any rest The air is thick, the light is low I'm one second from letting go Don't make me die of hate Until the night is gone I need to hear your voice I need to feel the heat I've got no arms My surrender is complete You say hello Soft and sweet, nice and slow It's a danger I should miss But I'm craving for your kiss Don't make me die Until the night is gone I need to feel the heat My surrender is complete I should put it down Turn this feeling But the silence is a lie Don't make me Until the night is gone I need to feel the heat My surrender is complete One touch Too much The wine is breathing On the table Your glass reflects the amber light We're leaning in The world is steeple Just two hearts Owning the night There's no need to rush the story We've got all the time Slow dance with me In the space between our shadows Slow dance with me Let the silence burn this way I'm lost inside your gaze In this warm and quiet place Slow dance with me Stay right here You move like a secret monkey A gentle hand against my side The rest of the morning You're sleeping There's nowhere left for us to hide I see the truth behind your eyes In every breath we sigh Slow dance with me In the space between our shadows Slow dance with me Let the silence find its way I'm lost inside your gaze In this warm and quiet place Slow dance with me Stay right here The clock is ticking on the water Sound that awes Just a steady beat of you Leading me to something new Stay right here Slow dance with me In the space between our shadows Slow dance with me Let the silence find its way I'm lost inside your gaze In this warm and quiet place Slow dance with me Stay right here Slow dance with me Stay right here Out at slow through the morning Between the weather A sudden hum of familiar Brings back the girl you We were coffee steamed And I may be Just a few lines left unsaid Now the speaker shakes With a ghost of us Turning quiet moments into dust That old frequency Calling you home to me It's the song we forgot to keep Playing while the world's asleep That old frequency Tuning in to what used to be I can hear us in the green Dancing through the gentle rain You like the bridge I like the verse We thought we'd pretend Every curse Just two kids in a denim light Driving toward the edge of night I haven't

you But you're as close as the air is still If you won't love me someone will But it's a beautiful kind of blue I kept your key And the cedar drawer I don't expect to see you At my door The garden's

of blue I'm letting go It's a beautiful blue Just a letter to you Bye Goodbye Bye Kitchen light As a cert crossed the grain of this old without a meaning Until I saw the jacket that you wore The corners of the Polaroid are curling The summer day of beach we used to know The way the dust is in the sunlight swirling Makes it hard to finally let you go Love is a quiet brew It stays behind when you leave Love is a quiet brew There's space to breathe It's not a ghost It's just a grace A gentle mark you can erase Love is a quiet brew Love is a quiet room It always settles at the bottom of a

Where I remember you Slowly Softly Still here Just a quiet stranger in a busy land Checking every doorway for a light I know Wondering how much further I have left to go Then you spoke my name At the air by still Like a morning sun Coming over the hill Suddenly the road Doesn't feel so long Suddenly I know Where I belong You are my home The only place I ever want to stay You are my home You watch the winter And the cold away After all this time of being on my own I finally found it darling You are my home Ooh ooh ooh I used to keep my bags hanged by the bed Bagged by the bed Listening to the restless Voices in my head In my head But you pulled the curtains And you locked the door I don't have to run away anymore Cause you spoke my name At the air by still Like a morning sun Coming over

than I scroll the names just to see If you're still awake like me One little touch and we're back Falling Heart is loud against my chest Giving up on any rest The air is thick The light is low I'm one second from letting go Don't make me die of grief I'm barely one till the night is gone Need to hear your voice I need to feel the heat I My surrender is complete You say hello Soft and sweet Nice and slow It's a danger I should miss But I'm craving for your kiss Don't make me die of Until the night is gone I need to hear your voice I need to feel the heat I've got no other choice My surrender is complete I should put it down Turn this feeling up The silence is a lie when I'm Don't make me Until the night is gone I need to feel the heat My surrender is complete One touch Too much
