Seduction


 Seduction 


(A sweet voice from The Seventies, sings. Can you hear him?)


Hey... Turn those lights down low 


Come a little closer, baby Nice and slow


Let's dance together 

On our own dance floor


Hold me in your arms tonight 

And love me a little more


Move and sway 

To the music playing soft


Like a dream that's floating by 

And carrying us off


Touch me gently 

Let that sweet fire start


Burning through the night

In this heart full of longing


Turn those lights down low 

Don't let this feeling go


Hold me close and never let me go 

Turn those lights down low 


Baby, nice and slow 

Tonight we're lost in the glow


Turn the lights down low 

Let's slow dance across the floor 


Before we kiss 

Like we've never kissed before


Turn the lights down low 

Move a little closer still


For a love like this 

Gives my heart such a thrill


And while the music plays 

We'll hold each other tight


Praying this love is real 

As we dance into the night


Move in closer 

In every little way 


Let's forget tomorrow 

And live for this moment today


Time stands still 

As the record softly spins


One of Teddy's sweet love songs 

And the magic begins


Turn the lights down low 

Let's slow dance across the floor 


Before we kiss 

Like we've never kissed before


Turn the lights down low 

Move a little closer still 


For a love like this 

Can only end in bliss


Can only end in bliss 

Can only end in bliss


Tonight

In bliss
