Miss Simone

(album: Amidst The Chaos - 2019)

Smiles in the morning at me
Apartment on the second story
Strangers in a brand new city
Both remembering last night
Kitchen table and a bottle of wine
The only thing on my mind is you

The way the moonlight flickered in
We were stars of some old classic film with

Miss Simone singing
Pour some sugar in my bowl baby
In the glow of the candlelight
We danced all night
On the rooftop thinking
No one needs to know a thing
But Miss Simone
No one but Miss Simone

Moving boxes cover the floor
Never quite been here before
Finally made a house feel like home
The years are flying past us now
But you and I have figured out how
To conjure up a feeling so true

Close the door and set the day down
Settle in and we'll throw on some

Miss Simone singing
Pour some sugar in my bowl baby
In the glow of the candlelight
We can dance all night
On the rooftop thinking
No one needs to know a thing
But Miss Simone
No one but Miss Simone

How she'd know
What a heart sounds like
In the glow of this candle on a rooftop in the moonlight

Someday when we're old and grey
And sifting through our yesterdays
We'll pull that memory from its sleeve
Play that song of you and me and

Miss Simone singing
Pour some sugar in my bowl baby
In the glow of the candlelight
We will dance all night
On the rooftop thinking
No one needs to know a thing
But Miss Simone
No one but Miss Simone
