Lyrics
Miami Night
J. Paul Bolcar, Larry Carr (c) 2007
Hot Night, Bar Lights
Dark Eyes, Smoke rising from her cigarette
(Verse 1)
She caught my embarrassing stare
I felt like a schoolboy again
She ordered a dirty martini
Then pointed my way and said charge it to him
(Verse 2)
I imagined myself as the olive
She gently caressed with her lips
And as I was purposely staring
She motioned me over with her swizzle stick
(Chorus)
While we were dancing I gazed in her eyes
Surrendered to passion we both felt inside
I felt the bliss in the warmth of her kiss
And our love burned as hot as the Miami night
(8 beat break)
(Verse 3)
She lay sleeping beside me
As I glowed from the love that we made
I got up and walked to the terrace
And watched the pale moonlight dance on the waves
(4 beat break)
(Bridge)
I leaned on the rail as the warm summer wind
Carried the soft ocean mist to my skin
Pondering on mysterious feelings
That welled up inside me again and again
I wanted to tell her, oh, what would I // do
(Verse 4)
My heart raced with anticipation
As I wandered back into the room
The sheets and the pillows were empty
Except for the scent of her lilac perfume
(8 beat bongo)
(Tag)
Hot night, bar lights
Dark eyes, haunts like a ghost in my soul
(Verse 5)
Never before that evening of passion
Had I ever longed for my script to rewrite
The beautiful lady had stolen my heart
Like the dawn stole the stars from that Miami night
(8 beats)
I still yearn for the heat of that Miami night
