ღ Black Velvet ~ Alannah Myles ღ

作曲 : David Tyson/Christopher William Ward

[Verse 1:]

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder

The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

[Hook:]

The boy could sing

Knew how to move, everything

Always wanting more

He'd leave you longing for

[Chorus:]

Black velvet

And that little boy's smile

Black velvet

With that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

[Verse 2:]

Up in Memphis

The music's like a heatwave

White lightning

Bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl

"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

[Hook:]

The way he moved

It was a sin

So sweet and true

Always wanting more

He'd leave you longing for

[Repeat Chorus:]

Black velvet

And that little boy's smile

Black velvet

With that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

[Bridge:]

Every word of every song

That he sang was for you

In a flash, he was gone

It happened so soon

What could you do?

[Repeat Chorus:]

Black velvet

And that little boy's smile

Black velvet

With that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Black velvet

And that little boy's smile

Black velvet

With that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

If you please

If you please

If you please
