The café bell rings once at noon
Your coat still holding winter air
You laugh about the morning rain
And brush loose strands behind your hair
Two empty cups across the table
Streetlight flickers through the glass
Nothing special in the moment
Still I hope it doesn't pass
Cars roll slowly down the avenue
Someone hums a distant tune
There's a rhythm in the quiet
Like the day begins too soon
When the city starts to move
Something shifts between us too
Little moments turning brighter
Just by standing close to you
When the music fills the room
Even silence feels in tune
Every step along the pavement
Falls into a softer groove
Subway doors slide closed again
Shoulders brushing in the crowd
You whisper something half a joke
And suddenly the world gets loud
Neon signs begin to flicker
Evening spilling through the street
Every corner holds a rhythm
Every heartbeat finds the beat
Maybe it's the turning season
Maybe just the way you smile
But the night begins to shimmer
Every time you stay awhile
When the city starts to move
Something shifts between us too
Little moments turning brighter
Just by standing close to you
When the music fills the room
Even silence feels in tune
Every step along the pavement
Falls into a softer groove
Late train humming underground
Streetlights drawing silver lines
All the noise fades out around us
Like the world forgets the time
When the city starts to move
Every shadow fades from view
And the rhythm of the evening
Slowly pulls me back to you
When the music fills the room
Every heartbeat finds its cue
Like the night was always waiting
Just to dance a step with you
