Miss Simone

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

The way the moonlight flickered in

We were stars of some old classic film

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Moving boxes cover the floor

I've 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Close the door and set the day down

Settle in, and we'll throw on some

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

How'd she know what a heart sounds like

In the glow of this candle on a rooftop in the moonlight?

[Pre-Chorus]

Someday when we're old and gray

Sifting through our yesterdays

We'll pull that memory from its sleeve

And play that song of you and me

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Mmh, mmh
