[Intro – Spoken, over strings and soft bass]

Mmm…
You know when love’s real…
You feel it in every breath, every beat…
This right here?
This is devotion… wrapped in velvet.

[Verse 1]

Cm
You don’t have to speak, girl, I know what you need
Abmaj7
Your eyes tell me stories that words could never plead
Fm
You’ve been strong too long, carryin’ the weight
G
Now let me love you slow, baby, no need to wait

[Verse 2]

Cm
Every touch I give is a promise I make
Abmaj7
To hold you through the fire, never let you break
Fm
There’s a heaven in your heart, and I see it clear
G
Let me take you there, right now, right here

[Chorus]

Abmaj7 Bb
Velvet devotion, wrapped ‘round your soul
Cm
I give you my rhythm, you make me whole
Abmaj7 Bb
Silk in the moonlight, heat in the rain
Cm
Girl, this kind of love, it don’t come again

[Verse 3]

Cm
You’ve been let down, you’ve been left in the dark
Abmaj7
But I see the light, baby, deep in your spark
Fm
Let my arms be the place you call home
G
A temple of truth — you’ll never be alone

[Chorus Repeat – With Backing Vocals]

Abmaj7 Bb
Velvet devotion, slow as a sigh
Cm
I’ll lift you up, won’t let this love die
Abmaj7 Bb
Sweet surrender, night after night
Cm
Holdin’ you close ‘til the morning light

[Bridge – Instrumental + Spoken]

(Spoken, over orchestration)
You’re more than a moment…
You’re every heartbeat I ever needed
Every dream I ever believed in
And I’m not goin’ anywhere, baby
This love? It’s wrapped in velvet…

[Final Chorus – Modulate to Dm for lift]

Bbmaj7 C
Velvet devotion, deeper than time
Dm
Every word, every breath, every rhyme
Bbmaj7 C
Velvet devotion, honey it’s true
Dm
I gave all I am… to all of you

[Outro – Fade Out]

Dm
Velvet…
Velvet devotion…
Mmm, yeah…
(Spoken)
Forever starts tonight…
