Gliding down the ridge at 2 AM
The floodlights turn the snow to liquid gems
I see your silhouette against the white
A lonely mountain turned to neon light
Cold air, sharp lungs, we're breathing fire
The adrenaline is taking us higher and higher
Dark clouds rising with every turn
Watching the winter stars brightly burn
You catch my eye through the tinted glass
In this moment let the whole world pass
Just you and me carved in the ice
Welcome to our frozen paradise
The wind is howling but I feel the heat
Every heartbeat skipping to the beat
Baby can you feel it?
Can you feel the magic?
Glistening so heavy in the air
Starlight tangled in your hair
Under the lights we're glowing gold
A winter story yet to be told
Look at the lights that amber glow
Waiting for us while the north winds blow
Oh baby, it's a diamond night
It's a diamond night
Oh baby, it's a diamond night
Unbuckle the boots, shake off the frost
In the pine trees we were happily lost
Now the fireplace is calling our name
Shadows dancing in the orange flame
From the frozen peaks to the wooden floor
I've never wanted more
The smell of cedar and roasted beans
Better than my wildest dreams
Steam rising from the chocolate cup
I never want this sun to come up
No I never want to leave
Hold me closer, keep me warm
We're the center of the storm
Glistening so heavy in the air
Starlight tangled in your hair
Under the lights we're glowing gold
A winter story yet to be told
Look at the lights that amber glow
Waiting for us while the north winds blow
Oh baby, it's a diamond night
Neon on the snow
Nowhere else to go
Stay with me
Stay with me

Song Introduction: Velvet Slopes & Amber Lights
A snowy night glittering like diamonds, embraced by neon lights and the glow of a fireplace.
2:00 AM, the silhouettes of two figures gliding down a ridge. This track is the ultimate winter pop ballad, capturing the exhilaration of racing across snow that has become "fluid jewels" under the lights, and the intimate moments shared in a wooden lodge. As adrenaline surges through the freezing air and winter stars burn with brilliance, a story unfolds in a "frozen paradise" isolated from the rest of the world.
The highlight is the "sweet whisper vocals" that breathily sing of the shifting scenery-from the neon glow on the snow to the orange flames of the hearth. Starlight tangled in your hair, steaming cups of hot chocolate. Enveloped in the scent of cedar and roasted beans, the vocals whisper into your ear like they are melting, dramatically conveying the desperate wish that "the sun would never rise."
"Don't go anywhere; just hold me like this." A night bathed in an amber glow, more wonderful than the wildest dream. From the sub-zero peaks to the warmth of wooden floors. Please enjoy this luxurious "Diamond Night" to your heart's content-a song that captures the very magic of winter in its purest form.
