Underneath the city lights, a rhythm takes control
This night's a canvas, baby, and we're the artistry
Got that somethin' special, got that fire in your eyes
We move like the subway rumbles, a symphony of knees
Caught the rhythm in your stride, a mellow taking flight
Let the music be our guide, let our hearts freely stroll
Yeah, let's paint the Harlem sunset, with a love that's brand new
Let's paint the Harlem sunset, with a love that's bold and true
My heart, a runaway drum, couldn't help but wanna play
This connection's deeper than any seed we sow
Hey there, handsome stranger, with a groove I can't deny
Just me and you, baby, just me and you
The sax wails a bluesy sigh, the piano hums a plea
This city's full of stories, but tonight, it's just me and you
Trumpet solo in your smile, saxophone in your sway
Saw you walkin' down Lenox, shades low, hat tilted just right
Moonlight paints your face silver, whispers secrets in the breeze
Don't know your name, don't need to know
