City Lights Awakening in the Blue Hour

[Intro] [Streetlamp Ignition Buzz & Glockenspiel Arp] Hum, buzz... ten thousand gas lamps igniting bright A golden necklace for the coming night [Verse 1] [Rhodes Mark I & Felt Piano] Blue hour washing over the city square Magic vibrating in the evening air Streetlights flick on in a sudden line Tracing the boulevard in pure design Reflections ripple in the river glass Watching the luminous evening pass I stand upon the parapet stone With the richest contentment I have known [Pre-Chorus] [Muted Cello & Brush Snare] Traffic tail lights leave a ribbon red Following where our joyful journey led [Chorus] [Luminous Magical Sunset Drop] Necklace of golden streetlights sparking along the river Giving our grateful spirits a joyful shiver In the blue hour wonderland above the town As the night settles gently all around Shine on, sparkle bright, let the city glow The prettiest vista that we'll ever know [Verse 2] [Rhodes Licks & Cello Drone] Neon signs blink open in the avenues far Competing with the brilliance of the evening star I take your hand and smile into the night Surrounded by this sea of golden light [Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony & Rhodes Solo] Let the city lights protect the human heart A luminous, magnificent work of art Streetlights, rivers, love and loving grace Inside this sacred rooftop space [Chorus] [Full Grand Luminous Climax] Necklace of golden streetlights sparking along the river Giving our grateful spirits a joyful shiver In the blue hour wonderland above the town As the night settles gently all around Shine on, sparkle bright, let the city glow The prettiest vista that we'll ever know [Outro] [City Chimes & Glockenspiel Fading] City lights awakening... Blue hour. [Fade Out] [End]
