[Verse 1]
Neon on wet pavement, your breath fogs the glass,
Your perfume on my sleeve from the moments that pass.
City hum like vinyl beneath our slow sway,
Midnight in your jacket, we melt the day away.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fingers trace a map I already know,
Small electric touches that set me aglow.
Hold the silence — let the room breathe slow,
I fold into you, where the warm lights glow.
[Chorus]
Let my soul shine tonight.
Let my soul shine tonight.
Watch it glow, watch it glow — (ooh) let it ride.
Let my soul shine tonight.
[Post-Chorus / Ad‑lib]
(Watch it glow) ooh, watch it glow — ah
(Let it ride) let it ride — yeah
[Verse 2]
Your laugh spills like rain on a rooftop café,
Coffee-cup steam, midnight words we don’t say.
Leather seat, low bass, heartbeat keeps time,
Your whisper lingers like the edge of a rhyme.
[Pre-Chorus]
Pulse in the doorway, neon paints your jawline,
Tiny confession — say it slow, make it mine.
We move in the gaps where the city finds light,
I lean closer — the world shrinks to our sight.
[Chorus]
Let my soul shine tonight.
Let my soul shine tonight.
Watch it glow, watch it glow — (come closer) let it ride.
Let my soul shine tonight.
[Bridge — vocal riff suggestions]
Mmm — ah— ah— ah (melisma over two bars)
Oh-oh, let it burn (vocal run) — ahhhh
(Spoken, soft) Thanks for watching guys! (echo, then fade into harmony)
[Bridge — lyrical]
Turn the static down, tune to the line of your breath,
Scratchy record truth, cheap perfume and depth.
I hear forever in the way you breathe my name,
A small constellation when you call my flame.
[Chorus — stripped then full]
Let my soul shine tonight. (stripped: solo vocal)
Let my soul shine tonight. (add harmony)
Watch it glow, watch it glow — (full band) let it ride.
Let my soul shine tonight. (big vocal stack)
[Outro / Tag]
Let my soul — let my soul — let my soul shine (tag: whisper)
Watch it glow — yeah, watch it glow (final ad‑lib)
One-line tag: Stay with me, let the night decide.
[Production Notes / Ad‑libs]
- Ad‑lib ideas: “ooh,” “yeah,” “let it ride,” “watch it glow” between lines.
- Bridge riff: short melismatic runs on “ah—ah—ah” rising over two bars.
- Outro tag: whispered double-tracked phrase followed by a single sustained reharmonized “shine.”
