[Verse 1]
You walked in like you knew
Every heart would skip a beat or two
I smiled like I didn’t see
But I was watching you watch me
[Pre-Chorus]
You leaned close, said something smooth
Didn’t catch it — but I liked the groove
We’re not in love, not even close
But I love the way this almost goes
[Chorus]
A minute in your eyes
Is worth more than a lifetime
With someone I’ll never love the way I love you tonight
(You make it feel so right)
Lights and shadows on your skin
Let the little games begin
Let’s pretend the night will never end
[Verse 2]
You said, “This city’s way too loud”
So we danced like we could turn it down
You laughed — God, that laugh should be
Somewhere in a melody
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hands talk more than your words do
Guess I’m fluent in your point of view
No promises, no morning-after
Just chemistry and stolen laughter
[Chorus]
A minute in your eyes
Is worth more than a lifetime
With someone I’ll never love the way I love you tonight
(Yeah, you got that light)
Lights and shadows on your skin
Let the little games begin
Let’s pretend the night will never end
[Bridge – Spoken/Whispered]
“Um minuto no teu olhar vale mais que uma vida ao lado de quem eu nunca vou amar assim…”
(Say it again — even if I don’t understand… I feel it.)
[Saxophone solo]
[Final Chorus – soft and groovy]
A minute in your eyes
Is worth more than a lifetime
With someone I’ll never love the way I love you tonight
Lights and shadows fade away
But I’ll remember how you played
In the silence before the day
