Lyric

KOBE…

KOBE…

KOBE…

KOBE…

Swing tonight…

Black umbrella in the harbor rain

Tailored shadows riding midnight trains

Meriken lights in gold and blue

Every window glowing like perfume

Port Tower cutting through the dark

Like a ruby burning near the harbor sparks

And lovers drifting under city light

Like old cinema dreams alive tonight

Oh… this city moves in velvet smoke

Slow and dangerous

Soft and cold

KOBE… KOBE…

Velvet heartbeat by the sea

KOBE… KOBE…

Every lonely soul swings free

From the Rokko skyline to Harborland nights

Neon reflections in designer lights

KOBE… KOBE…

Stay a little longer with me

Kitano windows dressed in Paris style

Champagne laughter drifting for a mile

Nankinmachi glowing red and gold

Stories wrapped in silk and cigarette smoke

Basement jazz beneath Sannomiya rain

High heels echo through the narrow lanes

And somewhere in a half-lit cocktail room

A muted trumpet softly fills the gloom

Oh… this town breathes art and midnight grace

Every stranger wears a movie face

KOBE… KOBE…

Velvet heartbeat by the sea

KOBE… KOBE…

Every restless dream finds heat

From old stone streets to chandelier skies

Fashion shadows moving through the night

KOBE… KOBE…

You still make broken men believe

Rain on polished leather shoes

Lipstick fading on crystal blue

Ocean wind through midnight bars

Silver smoke and passing cars

And every lonely man tonight

Pretends he’s doing fine

While the city sings his heartbreak

In perfect swing and time

KOBE… KOBE…

Velvet heartbeat by the sea

KOBE… KOBE…

Every lonely soul swings free

Meriken shining!

Rokko moonlight!

Jazz and fashion!

Late-night skyline!

KOBE… KOBE…

Hold this tired heart tonight

KOBE…

KOBE…

Swing… tonight…
