Softly Yours

[Verse 1]
You pour the wine
I watch your hands
That crooked smile
I lose my plans
Your shoulder leans
Into my air
You say my name
Like a secret dare
[Chorus]
Softly yours
Till the morning finds us
Softly yours
While the world’s behind us
Every sigh, every touch
Saying far too much
Softly yours
Softly, softly yours
[Verse 2]
You trace a line
Along my wrist
Slow little circles
A quiet risk
Your laughter falls
Low in my throat
We talk of nothings
We stay afloat
[Chorus]
Softly yours
Till the morning finds us
Softly yours
While the world’s behind us
Every sigh, every touch
Saying far too much
Softly yours
Softly, softly yours
[Bridge]
Leave all the clocks
Face down tonight (mm, stay)
Borrow this hour
Steal all my light (come close)
If this is wrong
Let it be sweet
Let me be reckless
Here in your heat (oh)
[Chorus]
Softly yours
Till the morning finds us
Softly yours
While the world’s behind us
Every sigh, every touch
Saying far too much
Softly yours
Softly, softly yours

jazz, Slow, intimate jazz ballad for male + female vocals; brushed kit that barely sighs, sparse piano voicings in the low-mid register, upright bass in a lazy, walking murmur. Verses stay close and hushed, like late-night confessions across a small table; choruses bloom with richer piano chords and gentle vocal harmonies. Airy reverb around the lead, close-mic warmth so every breath and consonant feels inches from the listener., slow, romantic, ballad, breathy, minimal
