Oh, the moon’s a sly conspirator tonight
A silver grin in the inky light
The stars lean close, they’re in on the scheme
Like dancers weaving through a smoky dream
Tap-tap-tap, the rhythm skips
As if the night’s got sugar on its lips
Velvet and keys, oh, they tease and they please
Fingers dancing like a playful breeze
The melody sways, it’s a trick, it’s a tease
Oh, life’s a cabaret in velvet and keys
A waltz of whispers floats on the air
The city hums like it just doesn’t care
Cobblestones click with the heel of her shoe
And time itself stops to watch her move through
The piano chuckles, a mischievous sound
While shadows twirl and paint the ground
It’s a riddle wrapped in melody
A question with no guarantee
Do you dance or do you stay?
Either way, the night’s in sway
Velvet and keys, oh, they tease and they please
Fingers dancing like a playful breeze
The melody sways, it’s a trick, it’s a tease
Oh, life’s a cabaret in velvet and keys
So here’s to the tune that never grows old
A song spun from silk, silver, and gold
Play it again, let it spin and release
The magic that lives in velvet and keys

Velvet and Keys
Sam
This original song is a cabaret jazz vignette that blends elegance with mischief. The lyrics evoke a moonlit city where piano and rhythm flirt with the night. It's a performance piece, intimate, playful, and rich in atmosphere. The music is light yet expressive, with brushed drums, soft horns, and a teasing vocal line.
