Clock strikes twelve, the lights go low
Masks are on, let secrets show
Velvet footsteps on the floor
Whispers slip behind the door
Moonlight dancing on my skin
Let the masquerade begin
Faces blurred in shadow play
Can’t tell who might slip away
But your eyes pull me in tight
Underneath the silver light
This is the midnight masquerade
Where we dance and then we fade
Hearts in rhythm, masks in place
Loving strangers face to face
Spin me through the candle haze
‘Til the morning steals our grace
In this midnight masquerade
Let the night never fade
Crimson lips behind a smile
Stolen glances all the while
Phantom touch across my spine
Don’t care who you are tonight
Every step a sweet charade
In this hush, we’re unafraid
Whirl me through this secret spell
Where we fall and never tell
This is the midnight masquerade
Where we dance and then we fade
Hearts in rhythm, masks in place
Loving strangers face to face
Spin me through the candle haze
‘Til the morning steals our grace
In this midnight masquerade
Let the night never fade
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...)
Golden dust and shadow flames
Call my soul, forget my name
Underneath this grand façade
You’re the dream I never had
This is the midnight masquerade
Where we dance and then we fade
Hearts in rhythm, masks in place
Loving strangers face to face
Spin me through the candle haze
‘Til the morning steals our grace
In this midnight masquerade
Let the night never fade
Let the night...
Never fade...
Masquerade...
