It’s late December, city’s dressed in chrome
Taxi lights flicker like stars we own
You grab my hand in leather gloves
Coffee steam and subtle love
Vinyl spinning something smooth
Sinatra croons in every groove
We’re walking slow, just you and me
In sync with snow and harmony
Oh, the night’s electric, hearts magnetic
Even traffic sounds poetic
Every step’s a syncopated sigh
With you, I never wonder why
Midnight sleigh on avenues
Skating through these winter blues
Neon snow and jazzy tunes
Kissing under crescent moons
City dreams and peppermint
Your eyes glow like ornaments
Catch me when I’m on the sway
Love me through this holiday
Shopfront windows glow with cheer
But all I want is you right here
We skip the crowd, take alley turns
Where laughter fades and silence burns
You hum a tune, I snap along
Two shadows dancing to our song
It ain’t a fairytale or rhyme
But baby, we make Christmas shine
Let the snow fall where it may
We got our rhythm, night and day
This kind of joy you can’t rehearse
It’s jazz — a feeling, not a verse
Midnight sleigh on avenues
Skating through these winter blues
Neon snow and jazzy tunes
Kissing under crescent moons
City dreams and peppermint
Your eyes glow like ornaments
Catch me when I’m on the sway
Love me through this holiday
No red-nose reindeer, no silver sleigh
Just midnight trains and the words we say
We toast with cocoa, not champagne
But babe, we’re golden in the rain
Midnight sleigh, don’t fade too soon
We’ll ride again next Christmas moon
Hold me close, just like you do
Every beat, I dance with you
This jazz we write with every touch
Turns winter nights to velvet hush
