Love stories are the only stories,
Wurlitzer jukeboxes
and summer rain.
But the stars, my dear, the stars!
Neon describes attraction
in waltz time
when everything clicks.
Let’s finish these drinks,
and tell everything we know.
And then, breathless?
Sinatra swings us around.
Shall we dance, love?
Shall we dance?
Wurlitzer jukeboxes
and summer rain.
But the stars, my dear, the stars!
Neon describes attraction
in waltz time
when everything clicks.
Let’s finish these drinks,
and tell everything we know.
And then, breathless?
Sinatra swings us around.
Shall we dance, love?
Shall we dance?
