Miss Simone

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
