Lyrics
[Bass walking soft in the dim street light]
Just an old park bench in the heart of town,
Where the pennies are few but the rent is down.
Got your second-hand coat and your hole in your shoe,
But I wouldn’t trade places, not with a queen, 'cause I’ve got you.
We don’t need a movie screen to feel the glow,
Just the magic of your arms and the way the cool winds blow.
[Chorus]
And the stars up in the sky are not as pretty as the light in your eyes,
No, they can’t compare when I look into your eyes.
We got love in the air tonight,
A midnight movie dream so tender, warm, and right.
[Verse 2]
[Piano chords, light brush on the snare]
You laugh at my jokes and you fix my hair,
With a gentle little touch that says you’ll always be there.
They say that we’re poor, but I feel like a queen,
With your hand in mine in that soft moonbeam.
Got the moon shining down on your dark wavy hair,
There ain’t nothing sweeter than this love we share.
[Chorus]
And the stars up in the sky are not as pretty as the light in your eyes,
No, they can’t compare when I look into your eyes.
We got love in the air tonight,
A midnight movie dream so tender, warm, and right.
[Bridge]
[Smooth saxophone solo swells]
The rest of the world can go on in a rush,
But I’ll stay right here in this calm, romantic hush.
With my feet on the ground and my heart in the clouds,
You’re my safe little melody that stands out in the crowd.
[Outro]
[Music slowing down, singer scatting softly]
Oh, this love feels easy, baby...
Just you and me under the quiet city skyline.
Love in the air tonight...
Soft and sweet, your arms around me.
[Fade out on a warm, lingering saxophone note]
