Tet-a-Tet

VERSE 1
Streetlight paints your face, soft like yesterday,
Kucheka kwa siri, your eyes find mine that way.
Coffee on the porch, radio hums low,
Two hearts in hush, where the palm trees grow.
Na wewe karibu, the world slows down its pace,
Every little silence turns into grace.

PRE-CHORUS
Whisper low, tell me things you never show,
Tet-a-tet, let the night move slow.

CHORUS
Tet-a-tet tonight, we’ll speak in gentle lines,
Tet-a-tet, you and I beneath the city lights.
Hold my word, hold my hand, let the music be our guide,
Tet-a-tet tonight, love’s a secret we confide.

VERSE 2
Moonlight on your skin, like a warm tambourine,
We trace the map of us in every in-between.
Stories folded soft, like letters in your coat,
We trade small truths until the dawn takes note.
Moyo wangu wako, I sing it soft and clear,
When you lean in close, I feel the world draw near.

BRIDGE
Someday, the crowd will call our names too loud,
But give me this small hour, away from the crowd.
No cameras, no stage, just the hush we keep,
Tet-a-tet, in your arms I fall so deep.
Twende pole pole — step by step we find the tune,
Two voices, one beat, under the silver moon.
