Candlelight Serenade 2 (Version 2)

Intro

(Soothing music plays softly in the background)

A candle burns softly on the edge of the pool...

Verse

Palm fronds rustle with every lapping wave

You lean against the railing where I made my escape

The stars behind you twinkle like diamonds bright

And for a moment, it feels just right

Your hand brushes mine as you adjust your towel's fold

I don't pull back, though my skin remembers cold

I let your fingers graze mine by design

Hoping this spark won't disappear with the tide's decline

Pre-Chorus

So why do I stay when every fiber screams to flee?

Is it the fire in these candles or something more that's me?

Chorus

Oh, you're playing me like a serenade in candlelight

Dancing on the edge of morning till I lose my sight

I know better than this yet here I stand and sway

Swept away by your beauty like it's chasing the gray

I'm under your spell like every other lonely soul

Your fingers brushing mine, oh what control?

We're chasing sunbeams down a hallway made of stone

I never wanted to surrender till you turned me into gold

Verse

Salt air carries whispers that only lovers share

You tilt your face up towards the ceiling fan's lazy sway

The water's edge draws closer with every passing hour

And I'm running out of reasons left to pull back from this power

Your laughter floats across like a melody so pure and true

I let my shoulders drop because nothing else feels new

Not even fear can chase away this warmth you bring

So I stay, and we watch shadows turn to silver wings

Pre-Chorus

So why do I stay when every fiber screams to flee?

Is it the fire in these candles or something more that's me?

Chorus

Oh, you're playing me like a serenade in candlelight

Dancing on the edge of morning till I lose my sight

I know better than this yet here I stand and sway

Swept away by your beauty like it's chasing the gray

I'm under your spell like every other lonely soul

Your fingers brushing mine, oh what control?

We're chasing sunbeams down a hallway made of stone

I never wanted to surrender till you turned me into gold

Bridge

Maybe I was born for this

This is my favorite song

Let the darkness fall and let it fade away

As long as you stay, we can chase the light of day

Chorus

Oh, you're playing me like a serenade in candlelight

Dancing on the edge of morning till I lose my sight

I know better than this yet here I stand and sway

Swept away by your beauty like it's chasing the gray

I'm under your spell like every other lonely soul

Your fingers brushing mine, oh what control?

We're chasing sunbeams down a hallway made of stone

I never wanted to surrender till you turned me into gold

Outro

Candlelight serenade... fades to black

This might be the only thing I'm looking for now... nothing left
