Essential Ella

[Verse 1]
Pulled up in a car like the movies roll by
You stepped out in silk with that look in your eye
Champagne in your hand, stars in your hair
The world disappeared, nothing else there

[Pre-Chorus]
A string quartet played our favorite tune
While candles flickered beneath the moon

[Chorus]
It was a fantasy night, dressed to the nines
Dancing in moonlight, your hand holding mine
The finest of places, but nothing compares
To the spark in your eyes, the love that we share
A dream wrapped in velvet, a wish on the breeze
You and me, darling—just pure elegance and ease

[Verse 2]
Waiters moved quiet like scenes in a play
Rose petals scattered along our walkway
Your laugh echoed soft like a song from the sea
In that moment, time bent for you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
The world could’ve ended, we wouldn’t have known
We built our own heaven beneath that moon’s glow

[Chorus]
It was a fantasy night, dressed to the nines
Dancing in moonlight, your hand holding mine
The finest of places, but nothing compares
To the spark in your eyes, the love that we share
A dream wrapped in velvet, a wish on the breeze
You and me, darling—just pure elegance and ease

[Bridge]
And I whispered a promise with stars as our vow
To relive that night, then and now
No need for riches, no castles or kings
Just this love, and the joy that it brings

[Final Chorus]
It was a fantasy night, a love so refined
Hearts in rhythm, your soul next to mine
The moon smiled down, the stars wrote our name
In a story of passion that still burns like a flame
A dream wrapped in velvet, a wish on the breeze
You and me, darling—just pure elegance and ease

[Outro]
So here’s to that evening, and every one after
To midnight waltzes and echoes of laughter
Forever starts under skies like those
With you in my arms, in that midnight glow
