Soft Lights And Sweet Music
Jack Say and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't resist the moan of a cello
I can't resist the light of the moon
So place me in a light that is mellow
And let me hear a beautiful tune
The music must flow
The lights must be low

Soft lights and sweet music
And you in my arms

Soft lights and sweet melody
Will bring you closer to me

Chopin' and pale moonlight
Reveal all your charms

So give me velvet lights and sweet music
And you in my arms





Bring out the gypsy in me
